SEEDLINGS CAN COME. 



• The Inderal Horticultural Board held 

 nn important conference February 1, at 

 the Department of Agriculture, on the 

 subject of the importation of Ehododen- 

 dron pontieum and Azalea pontica seed- 

 lings to be used as stocks for grafting. 

 It was represented that sueli seedlings 

 were not available in the United States 

 and could not be grown from seed to a 

 grafting size in this country within a 

 peiiod of two or probably three years, 

 and that, unless such seedlings could be 

 ini]iorted, those plants would be abso- 

 lutely unavailable to the American mar- 

 ket for tliis period. In view of tliis 

 situation, tlie board has indicated that 

 it will issue speci.'il permits for the im- 

 portation of seedlings of three years' 

 growth or under of these two ]ilants for 

 the ]icriod terminating .Tune 1, 1922. It 

 is expected that after that time it will 

 be possible to supply further needs from 

 home-grown stock. 



This action was taken as a result of 

 this conference and is supported by the 

 unanimous request of the Ornamental 

 Growers' Association, representing the 

 principal growers of hardy ornamentals 

 in the United States, and with the dis- 

 tinct understanding, which was agreed 

 to by the latter society, that this action 

 would not be taken as a precedent for 

 demands of similar entry of seedlings 

 or lining-out stocks of other ornamen- 

 tals. The entry of these plants under 



special permit will be surrounded with 

 the same safeguards which apply to 

 other special permits issued under the 

 quarantine. 



PETERSON FILLS PARK ORDER. 



Peterson Nursery, Chicago, is deliver- 

 ing 100 big elms to Lincoln park this 

 year. Some of the trees are 30 years 

 old and are from seven to nine inches 

 in di.'imeter. The trees are dug and 

 carried away from the nursery by the 

 park authorities. They are lifted and 

 the soil ball allowed to freeze, when 

 they can be carrieil away on trucks. 

 Se\oral orders for other Chicago ])arks 

 are also being delivered this season. 



"Business is good," said B. S. Gage, 

 of the downtown office. "During the 

 war the business grew larger, year by 

 year, instead of smaller, as we had al- 

 most exj)ecled. In 1921, I see no reason 

 why the increase should be retarded. 

 Ornamental trees and shrubs are liolding 

 their own with fruit trees, although 

 they are not so much in the nature of 

 a necessity. Of course, we don't do the 

 volume of business a big fruit tree 

 nursery is doing. A small fj-uits nurs- 

 ery in Wisconsin reports ; rders for 

 this year already on hand :imounting to 

 $1.50,000. However, with the present 

 high cost of fruit trees, it may be that 

 this represents little more profit than 

 a smaller total in other lines. 



" It is difficult to tell when operations 

 will commence this year. Although the 

 weather has been exceptionally mod- 

 erate for the most part this winter, 

 one good snow storm might change the 

 whole aspect. We generally begin plant- 

 ing about the middle of March, and 

 hope to do so this year." 



Peterson Nursery has about 214 acres 

 devoted to its operations.

 ing.
