Lack of help to get the roots out of the 

 ground will cut many nurserymen 's offers 

 of peonies. 



TirE annual picnic of the D. Hill Nurs- 

 ery Co., Dundee, 111., and its employees 

 was held at Wing park, Elgin, 111., Satur- 

 day, August 14. 



Cost finding was sidetracked when 

 nurserymen became so busy getting stock 

 to fill orders they had time for nothing 

 else, but it will be greatly desired at a 

 not far distant date. 



French stocks are being quoted at 

 prices that many nurserymen in this coun- 

 try consider prohibitive. Is this au 

 answer to Quarantine No. 37 or part pay- 

 ment of the cost of the war? 



John Da we, at one time Chicago sales 

 agent for the Perry Nursery Co., Eoeh- 

 ester, N. Y., died last week at his home 

 in Chicago. Fuller notice appears in 

 this week's obituary column. 



The Federal Horticultural Board has 

 issued rules and regulations governing 

 (1) entry for immediate export, (2) entry 

 for immediate transportation and exporta- 

 tion in bond, and (3) safeguarding the 

 arrival at a port where entry or landing 

 is not intende'd of prohibited plants and 

 plant products. These rules and regula- 

 tions are a revision of and supersede the 

 rules and regulations governing the entry 

 for immediate export of prohibited plants 

 and plant products promulgated October 

 20, 1917, effective December 1, 1917. They 

 apply principally to the forwarders who 

 handle shipments through New York for 

 Canada. 



At Spring^vood Farms, York, Pa., were 

 held Wednesday, August 18, the dedica- 

 tory exorcises for a monument erected by 

 the State Horticultural Association of 

 Pennsylvania to commemorate the site of 

 origin of the York Imperial apple. John 

 C. Sclunidt, owner of Springwood Farms, 

 was one of the speakers at the luncheon 

 on that occasion. The York Imperial was 

 originated by Jonathan Jessop in 1820 

 on this land, which was then called 

 Springwood Nurseries. This apple, which 

 is noted both for flavor and for keeping 

 qualities, received its present name in 

 1855 from Charles Downing, a pomologist 

 of New York state. 



Reorganization of the Poughkeepsie 

 Nursery Co., College avenue, Poughkeep- 

 sie, N. Y., in which Albert Tersteeg and 

 William Godding formerly were partners, 

 has been effected by the incorporation of 



the firm with William Godding as presi- 

 dent, E. J. Daniels, of New York city, as 

 vice-president and Peter J. Van Melle 

 as secretary and treasurer. This company 

 was established in 1903 by Frank B. 

 Brown. William Godding has been con- 

 nected with it for seven years. Mr. Van 

 Melle is an expert landscape artist and re- 

 cently laid out several large estates in 

 New York and New Jersey. The new 

 company will retain its old location and 

 will specialize in landscape gardening. 



CONNECTICUT ASSOCIATION. 



The Connecticut Nurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation held its summer outing at Lake 

 Compounce August 11. Owing to the 

 inclemency of the weather the attend- 

 ance was not so large as usual, but 

 those present enjoyed the outing. 



It seemed to be the opinion of all at- 

 tending that the other nurserymen and 

 florists of the state, not members of 

 the association, were not aware of the 

 benefits they could derive from attend- 

 ing the meetings and outings of this
