A NEW firm has entered the nursery 

 business at Painesville, O. The members 

 are E. E. Jackson and H. C. Bickle. 



This year the Hannay Nursery Co., of 

 San Jose, Cal., passes the half-century 

 mark in age. It is one of the oldest con- 

 cerns in the state, having been established 

 in 1864. 



The wide trade acquaintance of 

 Charles Willis Ward will cause special 

 interest to be taken in the article, * ' Ward 

 Starts Pacific Nursery," on page 72 of 

 this issue. 



J. E. Barton, a citrus nurseryman of 

 Tulare county, Cal., has associated him- 

 self with James Hanson, of Milpitas, 

 Cal.} and will engage in growing citrus 

 nursery stock at Milpitas. 



The landscape garden department in 

 the western Washington fair, at Puy- 

 allup, one of this year's innovations, 

 will be in the charge of Joseph Mitchell, 

 of the Larchmont nurseries. 



In his two fields at La Salle, 111., 

 George Winter, proprietor of the La 

 Salle County Nursery, has approximately 

 40,000 peonies, which have been one of 

 the sights of the town of late. 



The planting of a 35-acre orchard at 

 Freedom, Wis., was recently completed, 

 under the supervision of George Weinke, 

 and required 3,000 trees, from the Great 

 Northern Nursery Co., at Baraboo, Wis. 



The park department of Columbus, O., 

 is to have a nursery in which to grow 

 stock for its parks and boulevards. Thir- 

 teen acres are to be utilized by Super- 

 intendent Charles Sargent next fall for 

 this purpose. 



Feank W. Koyden, the lessee of the 

 Scotch Grove Nursery, formerly operated 

 by Hoyt Bros., at Scotch Grove, la., re- 

 ports this spring's business twenty per 

 cent in advance of that done in the cor- 

 responding period last year. 



Minnesota nurserymen report this 

 spring's business to have been, in nearly 

 every case, the best on record. Shade 

 and fruit trees, particularly apple, make 

 up the larger part of the sales, while 

 shrubs and berry plants run strong. 



The publication of the annual lists of 

 fltockholders in Chicago banks shows 

 William A. Peterson, proprietor of Pe- 

 terson Nursery, as the owner of 265 

 shares in the State Bank of Chicago, of 

 which he is a director. The stock has a 

 book value of $292 and has sold as high 

 as $405 in the last year. 



You may discontinu* our advor- 

 tisomsnt, as wo aro through with our 

 spring shipments, but wo will givo 

 you another order for fall, as THE 

 RESULTS from the one for spring 

 HAVE BEEN VERY SATISFAC- 

 TORY.— FranklinDavis Nursery Co., 

 Baltimore. Md.. May 19. 1914. 



MAIL SHIPMENTS BEQULATED. 



The Postoffice Department has issued 

 an order prescribing conditions govern- 

 ing the transmission of nursery stock 

 in the mails. Complaint has been made 

 to the department that some postmas- 

 ters accept for mailing parcels of nurs- 

 ery stock which are not accompanied 

 with certificates of inspection and not 

 marked to show the nature of the con- 

 tents, as required by the postal laws. 

 Complaint has also been made that some 

 postmasters, on receipt of a written re- 

 quest from an officer of a state having 

 a law regarding the inspection of nurs- 

 ery stock coming into the state, fail to 

 furnish such officer the names of per- 

 sons to whom are addressed parcels of 

 nursery stock received from a point 

 without the state, as also required by 

 the regulations. The careful attention 

 of postmasters is directed by the de- 

 partment to the law and they are in- 

 structed to comply strictly with the 

 requirements thereof. P. 



CONVENTION PBOOBAM.

 country has been prepared for the thir- 

 ty-ninth annual convention of the

 land, June 24 to 26. The problem of 

 uniform legislation will have an im- 

 portant place on the program and the
