NuitSEKYMEN will Icam with regret of 

 the death, in California, of O. F. Brand, 

 who founded the Brand Nursery Co., 

 Faribault, Minn., more than half a cen- 

 tury ago. His (leath is reported in the 

 cbituary columns of this issue. 



I'kkdekick W. Smythe, landscape art- 

 ist of.New Rochelle, N. Y., settled his 

 action, February 18, against Samuel Un- 

 termyer, of Yonkers, N. Y., for payment 

 of his services in laying out the latter's 

 gardens. The amount settled for was 

 .f.'i.OOO. 



Several, of the leading business men of 

 Evansville, Ind., have purchased Mr.

 Kvansville Nursery Co. The officers are: 

 ['resident, C. K. Gysemans; vice-presi-

The aimual meeting of the directors and 

 stockholders of the Greenville Nursery 

 Co., Greenville, S. C, resulted in the fol- 

 lowing elections : President, C. O. Allen ; 

 vice-president and general manager, L. B. 

 Smith, and secretary, Miss Bertie Smith. 

 The yearly reports showed 1920 to have 

 heen the best in the history of the com- 

 pany. 



A SHIPMENT of apple, pear and cherry 

 grafts for the Rev. J. S. Nelson, mission- 

 ary stationed at Lungchow, China, was 

 shipped by Fred W. May. manager of the 

 Yakima Columbia River Nursery Co. In 

 addition yearly sweet and sour cherry 

 trees were sent. The Rev. Mr. Nelson 

 plans to set these out near his station, 

 and predicts the growth of real American 

 fruit on the great Chensi desert within a 

 few years. 



The Toledo, O., News-Bee prints a 

 warning from the Greening Nursery Co., 

 of Monroe, Mich., bidding the public 

 watch for unauthorized agents who would 

 sell nursery stock supposed to be from 

 some reliable firm, but in teality not true 

 to name. This is a step in the right di- 

 rection, and the sooner the public realizes 

 its danger from this sourc(3, the sooner 

 will a great part of the present oppro- 

 brium be lifted from nurserymen and 

 placed where, to a considerable extent, it 

 belongs. 



OPENS NURSERY DEPARTMEN't. 



William E. Dart, Santa Rosa, Cal., 

 announced the formal opening of the 

 Highway Nursery, January 24. He is 

 also the proprietor of the Sonoma Seed 

 Co. This enlargement of his business 



was made necessary by the large orders 

 received for trees and plants. 



Mr. Dart reports the sale of nearly a 

 quarter-million trees and plants this 

 season. The heavy demand is for 

 grapes, pears, apples, prunes, peaches, 

 apricots and plums. To prepare for next 

 year, this firm is planting 50,000 young 

 apple trees, 20,000 pears, 12,000 pounds 

 of peach pits, a quarter ton of almonds, 

 a ton of walnuts and $1,000 worth of 

 plum pits. Many plants are grown from 

 cuttings. 



CANCEL IMPORT PERMITS? 



French fruit seedlings since January 

 1, 1921, have been found to contain nests 

 of brown-tail moth and no less than 

 twelve shipments since that date have 

 been reported to the United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture on this account. 

 The finding of so many shipments in 

 such a brief period harboring this pest 

 would indicate a decided laxity on the 

 part of the French inspectors and should 

 emphasize the urgent need of careful 

 and consistent examination of all ship- 

 ments from France. The French in- 

 spection service has been advised of this 

 condition and a warning has been issued 

 to French exporters and American im- 

 porters. The department indicates a 

 possibility of canceling all existing per- 

 mits for French stocks.

 State Nurserymen's Association was

C. R. Burr, of Manchester, Conn., ad- 

 dressed the meeting on "How Should 

 Nurserymen Regulate Their Plant- 

 ings!" John H. Dayton, of Painesvillc,. 

 O., spoke on the necessity for maintain- 

 ing present prices in the nursery busi- 

 ness on account of goods having been, 

 produced at war-time cost. 



The report was received of the joint 

 committee appointed to endeavor to har- 

 monize the various branches of the 

 nursery industry. Walter F. Webb rep- 

 resented the retailer, Allen L. Wood the 

 catalogue man and John P. Rice the 

 wholesale trade. 



BOOT BOT ON IBIS. 



What can I do for rot in the roots of 

 Iris pallida dalmaticaf The roots turn 

 soft and mushy, with a vile odor, but 

 nice new shoots will be found growing 

 where the rot is the worst. So far I 

 have burned all the affected parts. 



F. M. P.— O. 



This root rot is peculiar to all varie- 

 ties of German iris, to which type your 

 variety belongs. Too deep planting 

 will cause it, and it is particularly bad 

 during hot, sunless and moist weather. 

 Liming of the soil, more shallow plant- 

 ing and a change to new soil are de- 

 sirable. You did quite right in burn-
