Fletcher Bohlender, of the Spring 

 Hill Nurseries, at Tippecanoe City, O., is 

 ia the east at a nursierymen 'a convention. 



The death of John K. Hoskin, who 

 formerly conducted a nursery at Beading, 

 Pa., is reported in this week's obituary 

 column. 



One middle-western nurseryman who 

 this season imported 100,000 evergreens 

 has lost two-thirds of them as the result 

 of no rain from June 24 to August 16. 



W. K. Tipton, of the Little Eock 

 Nursery Co., at Little Kock, Ark., will 

 spend several weeks in the northwest after 

 attending the Minneapolis convention. He 

 will study the park systems of the cities 

 in that region. 



At the summer meeting of the Michi- 

 gan State Horticultural Society, at Law- 

 ton, Mich., August 14, Robert A. Smythe, 

 of Benton Harbor, gave a discussion of 

 the fruit package marking law, which 

 went into effect the following day. 



The nurseries in the heat and drought 

 afflicted area in the middle west report 

 young stock as having made, in many 

 cases, less than half the normal growth, 

 with the prospect that, if there is a wet 

 autumn, proper ripening will not be 

 secured. 



Wm. a. Peterson, Chicago, has been 

 devoting the month to visiting the nurs- 

 eries in the middle west, returning to 

 Winona Lake, Ind., for the week ends. 

 Mrs. Peterson is a leader of the Bethany 

 Girls, who have a cottage for sixty at 

 the lake. 



The New Haven Nurseries, New 

 Haven, Mo., is the property of J. Bagby 

 & Son Co. A wholesale and retail busi- 

 nesB is done. The business was estab- 

 lished in 1872 and incorporated in 1892, 

 The officers of the corporation are: Pres- 

 ident, Julian Bagby; secretary, John L. 

 Bagby; treasurer, E. J. Bagby. 



The Florida Nursery & Trading Co., 

 with Alex, McEae as manager, conducts 

 what is known as the Piney Woods 

 Nursery, near Florala, in southern Ala- 

 bama, close to the Florida border line. 

 About 160 acres of the nursery have been 

 planted with Satsuma orange and pecan 

 trees, 



LITTOOY ON PRODUCTION. 



In his address before the Idaho State 

 Nursery Association on ' ' Orchard Plant- 

 ing Not Overdone," Secretary J. F. 

 Littooy stated that east of the moun- 

 tains probably not more than twenty- 

 five per cent of the total number of 

 trees planted were ever commercially 

 profitable. Under irrigation the pro- 

 ductiveness increased, raising the num- 

 ber that were profitable to perhaps fifty 

 per cent. In his estimation, there will 

 be less commercial planting for the next 

 year or two, but within five years the 

 production and distribution will be so 

 well in hand that increased planting 

 will prove profitable. According to 

 Mr. Littooy, the growing, grading and 

 packing will all ultimately be under the 

 supervision of the central sale associa- 

 tion. 



THE QUESTION OF QUARANTINE. 



"J doubt not that some of you will 

 honestly object to quarantining a local- 

 ity," said A, J, Cook, the California 

 commissioner of horticulture, before the 

 Northwest Inspectors' Association re- 

 cently, "I know it may injure a nur- 

 seryman who may be wholly innocent. 

 The purple scale is one of our most 

 destructive insect pests. The young, 

 as they come from eggs beneath the 

 parent scale, are extremely minute. The 

 best inspector would generally fail to 

 detect them. They spread by crawl- 

 ing on the feet of birds or onto insects 

 and being carried to other trees, per- 

 haps rods away. Thus the trees of a 

 nursery in the region of purple scale 

 infestation may carry these minute 

 larvse, too small for detection, to an 

 orchard and county which before was 

 free of the insect. Were I purchasing 

 citrus trees, I would not on any ac- 

 count purchase trees in a nursery in 

 close apposition to trees infested with 

 purple, red or black scales, I hold 

 that I should be as cautious in safe- 

 guarding the interests of others as I 

 would those of my own. 



"The next question is also one which 

 is likely to brook opposition. Are we 

 warranted in rejecting an entire ship- 

 ment when on inspection possibly only 

 a single specimen is discovered? In

WOBKINQ OUT THE PROBLEMS. 



"In connection with the general nur- 

 serymen's problems, the question arises 

 as to just what is the best method of 

 working out these problems, ' ' said Prof. 

 H. S. Jackson, of the Oregon Agri- 

 cultural College, in his paper on "I^r- 

 serymen's Problems in Fungous and 

 Bacterial Diseases," before the A, A, 

 N,, at Portland, "On account of the 

 fact that the time of our experiment 

 station workers is entirely taken up 

 with the producers' probteaas, it is dif- 

 ficult for them to arrange to make spe- 

 cial investigations of the nurserymen's 

 problems. It would seem, therefore, 

 that it woold be most desirable for the 

 nurserymen to take up the matter of 

 investigating these problems them- 

 selves. This work, however, should, if 

 possible, be carried on in cooperation
