Owing to a general scarcity of nursery 

 stock throughout the state of California 

 an unusually large influx of nursery stock 

 from other states is anticipated this sea- 

 son. 



If any nurseryman has ideas that he 

 would like to get to the trade, this is his 

 forum. The Eeview will be glad to print 

 communications from members of the 

 trade. 



Peach trees are in great demand among 

 California growers. Of some varieties 

 there are not enough left in the nurseries 

 to fill one fair sized order, while other va- 

 rieties have long ago been sold out. 



ARKANSANS OBQANIZE. 



The Arkansas State Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation was organized at Fayetteville, 

 Ark., December 16. George Parker, of 

 Fayetteville, was elected president and 

 E. H. Balland, of Piggott, Clay county, 

 was chosen as secretary. The next meet- 

 ing will be held in Little Rock in the 

 eirly spring. 



:;KLAN BUD SELECTION WORK. 



i 4'he most notable action of the recent 

 liieeting of the California Association 

 of Nurserymen was the adoption of the 

 plan of the retiring president, Wm. T. 

 Kirkman, Jr., of Fresno, to form an 

 organization, to be supported by both 

 plabters and nurserymen, to select the 

 l^t. trees of all kinds of fruit by an 

 Expert and staff engaged for that pur- 

 ^se, and to use in nursery propagation 

 <ji;nly such buds and scions as such expert 

 shall designate as true to type and from 

 trees of established thrift and produc- 

 ivity. 



A committee was appointed to organ- 

 le "Jdr'^such effort and to provide a 

 ipit^lization of $100,000 to promote 

 le ,wp^ of such an organization and

 when actual work will be undertaken.

 in the articles of incorporation filed De- 

 cember 17, is the Nurserymen's Bud

 itf! purpose is "to improve the quality 

 of fruit grown in the state by the prop-

 rush is over and all the local florists
