The golden wedding of John Hall, 

 former secretary of the American Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen, and Mrs. Hall was 

 celebrated October 18 at Detroit. 



The D. Hill Nursery Co., Dundee, HI., 

 has placed an order with the A. Dietsch 

 Co., Chicago, for the immediate erection 

 of five additional greenhouses, which will 

 double the facilities for propagating ever- 

 greens by cuttings and grafts. 



The first shipments of English Manetti 

 stocks are now en route, report McHutchi- 

 son & Co., New York. The drought in 

 England continues, and the ground is so 

 hard that most shippers prefer to await 

 rain before digging. Prices are moderate, 

 with no present fear of shortage. 



The real estate board of Painesville, 

 0., is giving publicity to the slogan of one 

 of its members, "Painesville, The Home 

 of Flowers. ' ' The board 's advertisement 

 in the local paper states, "The forty- 

 seven nurseries of Lake county are a very 

 large factor in the stability of Painesville 

 real estate values. ' ' 



The American Pomological Society 

 will hold its annual convention at Toledo,

 Ithaca, N. Y. ; vice-presidents, Samuel 

 Adams, Greenwood, Va., and W. T. 

 Macoun, Ottawa, Ont. ; secretary-treas- 

 urer, R. B. Cruickshank, Columbus, 0. 



An especially good season is reported 

 by William Toole & Son, of Baraboo, Wis. 

 Nine years ago the firm started to special- 

 ize in hardy perennials. Of late years the 

 business has been almost wholly wholesale, 

 conducted from the farm, about two miles 

 outside Baraboo. The firm is now start- 

 ing a mail order trade through a cata- 

 logue. In the near future a retail store 

 will be opened at 147 Fourth street, Bara- 

 boo, to serve local and tourist trade. 



The management of the Royal Totten- 

 ham Nurseries, Ltd., has been taken over 

 by B. Ruys, Ltd., Royal Moerheim 

 Nurseries, Dedemsvaart, Holland. The 

 nurseries now cover a total superficial 

 area of over seventy-five acres in hardy 

 perennials and alpines and over twenty- 

 five acres in general nursery stock. 

 B. Ruys and F. L. Rutgers, managing di- 

 rectors of B. Ruys, Ltd., have been aji- 

 pointed managing directors of both 

 companies. A. M. 0. van der Elst, till 

 now managing director of tlie Royal Tot- 

 tenham Nurseries, Ltd., has retired. 



CALIFORNIA NURSERYMEN. 



Meeting at Los Angeles. 



At the eleventh annu.Tl convention of 

 the California Association of Nursery- 

 men, held at Los Angeles, Cal., the fol- 

 lowing officers were elected: President, 

 J. W. Barnicott, Newcastle; vice-presi- 

 dents, Donald McLaren, San Francisco; 

 M. R. Jackson, Fresno; George F. Otto, 

 San Diego; John C. Bodger, Los An- 

 geles; Harold M. Hyde, Watsonville; 

 secretary-treasurer, Henry W. Krucke- 

 berg, Los Angeles. The executive com- 



mittee chosen was as follows: Eoy F, 

 Wilcox, Montebello, chairman; E. W. 

 Horton, Fresno; Max J. Crow, Gilroy; 

 Hans Plath, San Francisco, and Fred H. 

 Howard, Los Angeles. 



President Roy F. Wilcox, in his an- 

 nual address, pleaded for high standards 

 in the quality of nursery products and 

 efficiency in service on the part of com- 

 mercial plantsmen in their dealings with 

 the public and with one another. In 

 the adoption of this code of ethics the 

 association pledged its membership to 

 observe what the late Col. Theodore 

 Roosevelt, in his combative way, was 

 pleased to call the "square deal." 



Domestic Production. 



One of the salient features of the 

 meeting was an able address by E. Kent 

 Beattie, in which he made a strong plea 

 for the domestic production of all plants 

 heretofore imported. He cited many in- 

 stances where substantial beginnings 

 had already been made and was espe- 

 cially impressed by what had already 

 developed in California along this line. 

 He was firm in the conviction that fed- 

 eral quarantines would not be modified, 

 at least in this generation; that the 

 tendency was to strengthen rather than 

 to modify. He urged the observation of 

 quality in plant products sent to the 

 eastern markets. 



W. A. Clarke gave a timely paper on 

 what has already been done along these 

 lines, showing that California exports 

 over 3,000,000 rose plants, bulbs in equal 

 quantities, and that the growing of ken- 

 tia palms is already an established in- 

 dustry, there being a number of firms 

 shipping regularly in carload lots from 

 southern California points. It was his 

 opinion that there are soil and climatic 

 conditions in California making it pos-

Legislation was another topic of inter- 

 est, resulting in an indorsement of the 

 proposition that all horticultural laws 

 in California be rewritten and reenacted 

 at the next session of the legislature, 

 thereby eliminating much repetition and 

 useless verbiage, and so simplifying and 

 amplifying needs and requirements as 

 to secure greater efiiciency. 



CHICAGO TO HAVE ABBOBETITM. 



Work Has Begun. 



Chicago is to have an arboretum 

 which will rival anything of its kind 

 in the world. Joy Morton, president of 

 the Morton Salt Co., has given 400 acres, 

 part of his 2,000-aere farm at Downers 

 Grove, to what will be known as the 

 Morton Arboretum. It will be to the 

 scientific forester and gardener what a 

 laboratory is to the chemist, and to the 

 everyday nature-lover a spot where hie 

 can see both his own native trees and 

 trees imported from foreign lands. 



Until recently Mr. Morton's plans 

 were known only to a few friends, but 

 November 14 he gave out a memoran- 

 dum, prepared by O. C. Simonds, the 

 widely known landscape architect, who 

 is in charge of the work. 



Flans of Mr. Morton. 



The memorandum reads in part as 

 follows: 



"The site of the proposed arboretum 

 lies in Du Page county, ten miles due
