HoLsiNGER Bros., Eosedale, Kan., paid 

 $3,750 last week for a 125-foot frontage 

 on the north side of Ward parkway, 

 Wyandotte and Central streets, Kansas 

 City. 



Because nurserymen were busy winning 

 the war in other ways and devoted a good 

 share of their land to food crops, there 

 is not the usual quantity of 1-year-old 

 stock this fall. 



The news that John Watson has ac- 

 cepted the position of executive secretary 

 of the A. A. N. is welcomed by the trade. 

 He assumes the duties of F. F. Rockwell 

 and relieves Charles Sizemore of all those 

 except such as pertain to traflSc matters. 



H. G. Cotton, 638 New Call building, 

 San Francisco, is working on plans for 

 new parks for the cities of Colton, Marys- 

 ville and Colusa, Cal. The scheme for 

 Colusa includes the development of new 

 school grounds as a fitting setting for 

 the buildings recently erected. Bids for 

 trees will be asked by Mr. Cotton in the 

 near future. 



Arrangements were recently completed 

 at Marysville, Cal., for the establishment 

 of a large nursery in the Yuba river bot- 

 toms in the Hallwood district. The pur- 

 chasing company contemplates the estab- 

 lishment of between 3,000,000 and 4,000,- 

 000 trees, the stock to include all varieties 

 of deciduous fruit. The names of the in- 

 terested members of the new company will 

 be given out at a later date. 



Nurserymen in the vicinity of Porter- 

 ville, Cal., report that Tuscan peach trees 

 are practically off the market and that 

 the supply of Phillips and Peaks is strict- 

 ly limited. As a result of this shortage, 

 it has been found necessary to change a 

 number of plans for new peach plantings. 

 Interest has been diverted toward prunes 

 and Thompson grapes and, according to 

 present indications, a heavy planting of 

 these fruits will be established in the dis- 

 trict surrounding Porterville in the spring. 



SOUTHWESTERN ASSOCIATION. 



Meets at Denison, Tex. 



The second annual convention of the 

 Southwestern Association of Nursery- 

 men was held at Denison, Tex., Septem- 

 ber 24 and 25, in the Chamber of Com- 

 merce auditorium. 



The greater part of the association is 

 from Texas, but the states of Okla- 

 lioma, Arkansas and Kansas were also 

 represented. Particular phases of the 

 nursery trade affecting tliis section most 



formed a principal part of the discus- 

 sion. Cost of production, legal aspects 

 and post-war reconstruction were also 

 topics of much interest.
