Forty-second anneal convention, Philadelphia, 

 Pa., June 27 to 2«, 1917. 



Next vvoi'k's conventioii of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, at Phila- 

 (lel]»hia, probably will bring out the larg- 

 est attendance of eastern nurserymen in 

 the history of the trade, but it appears 

 that the western representation will be 

 composed principally of wholesalers. 



Travelers for Holland nursery houses 

 have not been so numerous as usual this 

 spring; they do not leave home until after 

 the spring shipments have gone and this 

 season the spring stock got no farther 

 than Kotterdam. The exporters want to 

 see a fair prospect of making shipments 

 lief ore they spend money canvassing for 

 orders. 



The annual convention of the Pacific 

 Coast Association of Nurserymen will be 

 held at Tacoma, Wash., about the middle 

 of July. The meeting will be attended 

 by many of the leading nurserymen of 

 California, Oregon, British Columbia, 

 Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas and Wash- 

 ington. The Mitchell Nursery Co., of Ta- 

 coma, is in charge of the arrangements 

 for the meeting. 



The Texas State Nurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation will hold its annual meeting at 

 Denton, August 2. Among those on the 

 program are William B. Munson, presi- 

 tlent; Prof. H. Ness, of College Station; 

 J. M. Kamsey, of Austin; Samuel L. 

 Dale, of Daingerfield; George J. Bayer, 

 of San Benito; J. K. Mayhew, of Waxa- 

 hachie; F. T. Ramsey, of Austin; J. S. 

 I\err, of Sherman; J. B, Baker, of Fort 

 Wortli; J. B. Strayhorn, of Tvler. 



IT IS KALMIA LATIFOLIA. 



We are sending a twig showing leaf 

 and llower of a shrub growing here. 

 Will you kindly give us the name of it 

 and give information as to habit, 

 blooming quality, where to obtain sup- 

 ply and its probable cost? 



F. P. F. C— Kan. 



Kalniia latifolia, or mountain laurel, 

 the finest broad-leaved flowering ever- 

 green native to America. It attains a 

 height in its native haunts of as much 

 as twelve feet, but is more often seen 

 half that height. It prefers a light 

 soil; one with peat is specially good. 

 It dislikes lime in the soil, grows well 

 in woodland shade, but flowers best 

 when grown in full sun. This is of- 

 fered in nursery or collected stock by 

 many nurserymen who advertise in The 

 lieview and is not at all an expensive 

 plant. C. W.
