T. E. Peyton and his workers at the 

 Peyton Nurseries, Boonville, Mo., re- 

 cently went on a fishing trip on the La- 

 mine river. The journey was made in the 

 company's tree-frame. The fishermen 

 brought back one dozen catfish weigh- 

 ing about a pound each. The party con- 

 sisted of J. L. Moore, C. W. Eench, 

 Francis Bench, Charles Bauer, Lester 

 Barr, Hall McLaughlin, O. C. McLaugh- 

 lin, Thomas Peyton and T. E. Peyton. 



HEAD SELI.S NUESEBIES. 



Thomas W. Head, who has for the 

 last four years conducted the Bergen- 

 field Nurseries, at Bergenfield, N. J., 

 has sold the place to the Stumpp & 

 Walter Co., of New York, which oper- 

 ated the establishment as its trial 

 grounds and nursery before Mr. Head 

 took it over. The Stumpp & Walter Co. 

 has leased the nurseries to Herman 

 Fisher, of West Hoboken. 



Mr. Head was employed on the Mor- 

 ton P. Plant estate, at Groton, Conn., 

 for many years. After traveling as the 

 representative of the Stumpp & Walter 

 Co. for a time, he took over the nurs- 

 eries which he has now sold back to 

 the firm. His plans are not known, 

 but it is expected he will remain in the 

 borough at least until the expiration of 

 his term as councilman, at the first of 

 the coming year. 



OALIFOBNIA NUESEBYMEN MEET. 



Officers Elected. 



Little change was made in the roster 

 of officers of the California Association 

 of Nurserymen at its fifth annual con- 

 vention at San Francisco, August 13 

 and 14. A switch of Christian names 

 sufficed in naming the new prewdent, 

 although the persons are quite distinct, 

 Charles Howard, of Hemet, succeeding 

 Fred H. Howard, of Los Angeles. John 

 Vallance, of Oakland, and T. E. Mabee, 

 of Fresno, were re-elected vice-presi- 

 dents, and G. F. Otto, of San Diego, and 

 Max J. Crow, of Gilroy, named with 

 them. Henry W. Kruckeberg was re- 

 elected secretary - treasurer. On the 

 executive committee, J. D. Meriwether, 

 of Los Angeles, and F. H. Wilson, of 

 Dinuba, were re-elected, and John Gill, 

 of West Berkeley, chosen to succeed W. 

 V. Eberly, of Niles.

 stock ; we may get Asaleas from Belgrium and we may not. Of 

 course, we are not going to get mixed up in the "unpleasantness," 

 but if we should— it will be out of ihe question to get European 

 stock of any kind. Now, can we depend on Azaleas ? Are we going 

 to take the chance? The Hydrang^eas are here! fSTOne
