Those who are interested in tree sur- 

 gery will find an excellent illustrated 

 article on the subject in t'ue 1913 Year-

 of Agriculture. It is by J. F. Collins, 

 forest pathologist. 



Articles of incorporation have been 

 filed by the M. H. Harman Nursery Co., 

 of Geneva, N. Y. The capital stock is 

 fixed at $20,000, and the incorporators 

 are T. J. Smith, M. H. Harman and 

 T. C. Carson, all of Geneva. 



Tennessee nurserymen in the neigh- 

 borhood of Memphis are having difficulty 

 in keeping their stock from burning up, 

 as there has not been enough rain to wet 

 the ground since May 4, according to the 

 report of Chas. Adams, who has a large 

 nursery and landscape business in Mem- 

 phis.

 years ago by the late Judge Gov. Morris 

 of clear white pine, which has served as 

 the office building of the Greening Nur- 

 sery Co., at Monroe, Mich., for the last 

 several years, has been removed to an- 

 other part of the premises to make way 

 for the new modern office building to be 

 erected on Monroe street by the Greening 

 Nursery Co.

NUBSEBY TBADE'S DISCLAIMEB. 



The nursery trade is beginning t > 

 feel the need of a disclaimer thkt will 

 stand in law. 



For years the policy of the trade ha> 

 been more in the direction of making; 

 good than in seeking to avoid respon 

 sibility, but of late the necessity has 

 arisen of guarding against legal harass-

 lows the replacement practice in spite 

 of the fact that the need for replace- 

 ment usually comes through the opera- 

 tion of causes over which the nursery- 

 man has no control. But replacement 

 is one thing and claims for damages 

 ,are quite another. Damage suits for 

 loss of crop, use of land, labor, etc., 

 through alleged delivery of untrue or 

 diseased stock steadily become more 

 numerous. 



Years ago the seed trade adopted a 

 uniform disclaimer, but nurserymen are
