The Page Tree Service Co., Omaha, 

 Neb., recently purchased nine acres of 

 land near the West Dodge road for $10,- 

 000. There C. E. Page, president of the 

 company, plans to establish a park open 

 to the public and to develop it as a land- 

 scape nursery, under what he calls an 

 ' ' order-your-garden-complete ' ' system. He 

 suggests that, aa furniture stores tend 

 more and more to be arranged in rooms 

 and suites of rooms, so nurseries which 

 seek to furnish material for landscape 

 gardens should be, at least in part, ar- 

 ranged in gardens. 



Alleging damage to nursery stock and 

 to its irrigation system through the 

 caving of a well pit dug for the plain- 

 tiffs by the defendant, the Dallas H. Gray 

 Co., of Maryeville, Cal., has filed a com- 

 plaint in the Superior court to recover 

 $40,000 damages. The complaint says 

 the defendant entered into a contract with 

 the plaintiff to dig a pit in which to place 

 an electric pumping plant to furnish 

 water for the irrigation of nursery stock 

 on a small acreage of land. The pit 

 caved, damaging the pump and the irri- 

 gation system, which resulted in the loss 

 of the entire stock of young trees and 

 plants in the nursery of the plaintiffs.

PROPAGATINa FEUIT STOCKS. 



There are some striking, not to say 

 startling, facts concerning the fruit in- 

 dustry. These facts have their counter- 

 parts in the nursery industry, and in that 

 they have even greater significance than 

 they do in the fruit industry. We boast 

 of our apple industry, the most impor- 

 tant by far of all fruits. It is nation- 

 wide, almost, in its production. We are 

 proud of our peach industry, as well we 

 may be. it is second only to the apple 

 in acreage and value. Our pear industry
