The officers of the Naomi Nurseries, 

 Inc., of Naomi, La., are: President, W. 

 J. Formento; vice-president, Maurice M. 

 Jones, and secretary-treasurer, George H. 

 Penn. 



A DONATION of 150 American white 

 elms and 150 silver maples was made by 

 J» M. Colmant, of the Colmant Nurseries, 

 Birmingham, Ala., for the school chil- 

 dren's use for Arbor day. 



The California Nursery Co., at Niles, 

 Cal., has been operating since 1865, being 

 one of the pioneer concerns on the coast. 

 The present ofl5cers are: President, W. 

 • H. Landers; vice-president, A. C. Ham- 

 mond; manager, W. V. Eberly. 



The Riverside Nurseries is the name 

 of the concern started by John Arter, at 

 Plainfield, 111., on the banks of the Du 

 Page river. Mr. Arter, who is manager 

 of Electric park at Plainfield, has done 

 landscape work in his town for several 

 years. 



Not only does State Forester Barton 

 intend enlarging the state nursery at 

 Louisville, Ky., from which 1,000 trees 

 will be sold at cost next spring, but he 

 also contemplates establishing another 

 nursery at the Kentucky Normal and In- 

 dustrial Institute. State-grown free trees 

 or trees sold "at cost" are becoming 

 more numerous each year. State breeding 

 farms for pedigreed poultry, to be dis- 

 tributed free, will doubtless come soon, 

 and eventually state furniture factories.

A. A. N. HEADQUARTERS. 



The Hotel Cadillac has been selected 

 as the headquarters for the fortieth 

 annual convention of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen at Detroit, 

 June 23 to 25, 1915, by the committee 

 on arrangements, Thos. I. Ilgenfritz and 

 Secretary John Hall. The accommoda- 

 tions for meetings, exhibits, committees 

 and social gatherings, all of which are 

 placed at the association's command by 

 the management, are excellent. 



Secretary Hall says he will keep mem- 

 bers posted in regard to the progress 

 made by the various committees in the 

 convention preparations, in the hope 

 that they will all become so enthusiastic 

 that they will impart some of their 

 warmth to the nurserymen who are at 

 present out in the cold, so that they 

 will join the association before the cold-

PROVmO PROPER CULTIVATION. 



When a buyer of nursery stock, 

 plants or seeds claims damages on ac- 

 count of alleged deficiency, in quality, 

 and the seller asserts that the stock, 

 plants or seeds failed for want of 

 proper soil, cultivation or care, it be- 

 comes an interesting problem how to 

 determine this issue. As a guide in 

 such case, the Oregon Supreme Court 

 has held, in the case of Kitchin vs. 

 Oregon Nursery Co., 130 Pacific Re- 

 porter 408, that testimony as to the 

 character of the soil is not objection- 

 able because reference is made therein 

 to other stock thriving in similar soil; 

 and that the issue of proper cultivation 

 need not be settled by expert witnesses, 

 testifying upon a scientific basis — that 

 non-experts may testify to their ob- 

 servations, tending to show whether

the failure of the stock was due to 

 inherent defects or to the manner in 

 which the stock was planted and culti- 

 vated. S. 



IDAHO HORTICULTURAI. ACT. 



Upheld by SuprenUk X3ourt. 



In a decision lately handed down by 

 the Idaho Supreme court in the case of 

 State vs. Pioneer Nurseries Co., 143 Pa- 

 cific Reporter 405, the validity of the 

 horticultural act of Idaho was upheld. 

 The most important provisions of the 

 law may be summafized as follows: 



It is made unlawful to conduct a 

 business of importing and selling nur- 

 sery stock within the state without first 

 obtaining a certificate from the state 

 board of horticultural inspection. Ap- 

 plication for the certificate must be 

 accompanied by a satisfactory bond, to 

 secure compliance with the state laws. 



The Highway to Hardy Perennials

PALISADES NURSERIES 



HTHERE you will find all kinds, and 

 *■ you can take your pick from the best 

 that grow. Perennials add a feeling of 

 permanency to ynur home surroundings. 

 They change their plumage, but not their 

 face, and keep reflecting the seasons all 

 the year aiound. 



FALL PLANTINO-To grow most hardy 

 perennials and old-fashioned flowers 

 successfully, plant in October and No- 

 vembcr, like planting Spring- flowering 

 bulbs. They then root during Fall and 

 Winter, and are ready for Spring and 

 Summer blooming. 



No grounds are really gar 'ened without 

 a big showing in perennials. We are 

 headquarters for perennials, and assure 

 the widest latitude in choice as well as 

 the most courteous promptitude in cor- 

 respondence and aervice. Our motto— 

 "Maximum Quality at Minimum Cost."
