Under the name of the Keystone 

 Farms, a new nursery establishment has 

 been opened at Arlington, Tex., by Dr. 

 T. H. P. Duncan. 



Nurserymen will note with interest 

 the gift of the American Forestry As- 

 sociation to France and Belgium of 12,- 

 000,000 tree seeds of Douglas fir. 



Imports of nursery stock during the 

 first thirteen months of enforcement of 

 Quarantine 37 are given on another page 

 of this issue, under the heading, "One 

 Year of Quarantine." 



The death of Joseph Meehan, of Phila- 

 delphia, well known to all the trade as 

 a writer on horticultural and landscape 

 subjects, occurred Deqember 23. His 

 death is reported in the obituary column 

 of this issue. 



Development of the 30-acre tract of 

 land purchased by the state of Califor- 

 nia near Sacramento to be used as a 

 nursery is imder way. The first steps in- 

 clude the boring of a well, building of 

 fences, and leveling of grounds. Build- 

 ings will be constructed later. The tract 

 cost $15,000. 



The Massachusetts Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation will hold its annual meeting 

 at Boston, February 8. The officers, as 

 elected last January, are: President, 

 Walton G. Wyman, North Abington; 

 vice-president, Julius Heurlin, South 

 Braintree; secretary and treasurer, Win- 

 throp Thurlow, West Newbury. 



Claiming that fruit trees he had pur- 

 tohased from the Brown Bros. Co., 

 Bochester, N. Y., were not true to name, 

 Edgar Morey, a farmer of the town of 

 Shelby, Orleans county, N. Y^ brought 

 an action against the nursery nrm to re- 

 cover the purchase price. A verdict for 

 $1,200 was rendered against the Brown 

 Bros. Co. at the trial before the Supreme 

 court, held at Albion, N. Y., the week of 

 December 13. 



After working for eight years as em- 

 ployees of the Oregon Nursery Co., Oren- 

 co. Ore., Carl Peterson and Eldor 

 Henschke are starting a small nursery 

 at Orenco. They are purchasing a con- 

 siderable quantity of bulblets, seeds and 

 seedlings. "We have eight years' expe- 

 rience on the practical end of a nurs- 

 ery," writes Mr. Henschke, "and we 

 wish to learn the business end of it by 

 reading The Review."

BARBERRY FROM SEED. 



What do you consider the best method 

 of growing Japanese barberry from 

 seed? A. G.— 0. 



Late fall is a good time, probably the 

 best, to sow the seeds of Berberis Thun- 

 bergii. Beds about three feet wide are 

 suitable. The soil should be well pul- 

 verized before the seed is sown and, 

 before sowing, the fruit should be ma- 

 cerated to separate the flesh from the
