The death of George H. Keyes, presi- 

 dent of the Meneray-Omaha Nursery 

 Co., of Omaha, Neb., is recorded in this 

 week's obituary column. 



The Cluny Nurseries, Ltd., of Calgary, 

 B. C, has gone into voluntary liquida- 

 tion, the Trusts and Guarantee Co., of 

 Calgaxy, being appointeid liquidator. 



G. L. Welch, the new secretary-treas- 

 urer of the Kelsey Nurseries, at St. Jos- 

 eph, Mo., gave evidence of the prosperity 

 of this line of business by purchasing a 

 touring car recently. 



It seems perfectly plain that the de- 

 mand for fruit trees, especially apple 

 and peach, is not what it was a few 

 years ago but that the call for orna- 

 mentals increases steadily. 



M. I. KiLBURN, manager of the North- 

 ern Colorado Nursery Co., at Loveland, 

 Colo., was severely injured July 18 

 when repairing a tire on his automobile. 

 Pumping air into the tire forced it off 

 the rim, and as it flew up it struck Mr. 

 Loveland across the face, making a cut 

 five inches long. 



SiUCH ADVESTISINQ NEEDED. 



"Consciously or otherwise,'* say W. 

 A. Taylor and H. P. Gould in their lat- 

 est article, "the search for the ideal in 

 fruit varieties goes on. Each year sees 

 new varieties brought to light and in- 

 troduced to the trade. A few of these 

 persist and in time become important 

 in the fruit industry, but the great ma- 

 jority are never widely known, because 

 in reality they do not meet any special 

 need. A new variety in order to attain 

 enduring importance in the fruit indus- 

 try must represent a high standard of 

 excellence in all particulars, and in at 

 least one particular it must surpass in 

 some region or regions other sorts al- 

 ready in cultivation. And as a rule its 

 merits must even then be persistently 

 and extensively advertised; else its dis- 

 semination will be very slow. 



"It is exceedingly difficult for a new 

 variety, even of the highest merit, to 

 crowd out a mediocre variety that has 

 been extensively planted by many fruit 

 growers. For this reason a variety may 

 be old, as measured by the age of a 

 man, before it becomes generally known. 

 The Stayman Winesap apple, for in- 

 stance, originated nearly half a century 

 ago, and for many years it has been 

 known in several sections among fruit 

 growers, but it is only during the last 

 twelve or fifteen years that its real 

 value has become widely appreciated." 



THE NEW ENGLAND QUARANTINE 



July 23 the Secretary of Agriculture 

 issued Notice of Quarantine No. 17, ef- 

 fective August 1, extending the New 

 England quarantine against the gipsy 

 moth and brown-tail moth. Roughly 

 speaking, the quarantine applies-4C'tiiat 

 section east of a line througn Westfield, 

 Mass., Hartford, Conn., and Barre, Vt. 

 The regulations provide that "Conif- 

 erous trees, such as spruce, fir, hem-

PBOMISma NEW FBUITS. 



A new fruit, in the eyes of the U. 8. 

 Department oi Agriculture, is one not 

 vvj'Jely known. The Yearbook list, 1913 

 edition, recently issued, includes: Ba- 

 nana apple, disseminated as Winter Ba- 

 nana in 1890, by Greening Nursery Co., 

 Greening, Mich.; McCrosky apple, quite 

 generally known in Tennessee for fifteen 

 years; Opalescent apple, disseminated 

 prior to 1891 by the Dayton Star Nurs- 

 eries, Dayton, O.; the Lizzie peach, 

 originated in 1889, by J. W. Stuben- 

 rauch, Mexia, Tex.; the Flowers grape, 

 discovered in 1819, in North Carolina; 

 the James grape, known since 1867; the 

 Triumph persimmon, commercially prop- 

 agated since 1887; the Lue orange, in- 

 troduced to the trade in 1912, by the 

 Glen St. Mary Nursery Co., Glen St. 

 Mary, Fla., as Lue Gin Gong, and the 

 Boone chestnut, introduced to the trade 

 by E. A. Riehl, Alton, 111., about 1906. 



NASHVILLE, TENN. 



The Market. 



We have had a whole week of light 

 showers, but hardly enough moisture 

 to saturate the surface of the ground. 

 The hot weather is broken, however, 

 and this puts new life into things gen- 

 erally. The last month has been the 

 hottest in the history of Nashville. 

 Outdoor stock has suffered terribly, 

 especially trees and shrubbery that 

 were planted this season. Some of our 

 growers have a good many outdoor rose 

 plants and use the Skinner system of

CAUFORNU PRIVET HEDGING 



For the coming Autumn and next Spring's sales 



I have to oflPer over a half million California Privet, consisting of two 

 years old in 1^2 to 2 feet, 2 to 3 feet and 3 to 4 feet; three years in 3 

 to 4 feet, and one year in 12 to 18 inches and IV2 to 2 feet grades. The 

 two and three year grades were carefully cut back the past Spring, are 

 well branched and strictly first-class. 



I am prepared to offer exceedingly attractive prices, especially in car- 

 load lots. 



Being the introducer of the California Privet as a hedge plant away 

 back in the early seventies, it is perhaps not claiming too much to say I 

 am headquarters for it.
