W. H. Johnson, of Chattanooga, will 

 put in a good block. of ornamental nur- 

 sery stock on the vacant land by his 

 new greenhouses. 



The American Pomological Society 

 meeting at San Francisco will draw a 

 number of nurserymen to the exposition 

 city again the first week in September. 



The Electric Nursery might be a new 

 name for the William A. Peterson estab- 

 lishment at Chicago. Everything on the 

 place, from pumps to grindstones, has 

 been electrified. 



Looking over the stock of several of 

 the nurseries in Tennessee since August 

 15, on the whole the stock is looking 

 much better than it was a year ago. 

 With business slowly gathering in vol- 

 ume over the south, activity should be 

 good this season. 



Those of the peony growers who are 

 not afraid to let their prices be known, 

 report a good volume of trade orders, 

 though some of the growers who aim to 

 make prices to fit their idea of the cir- 

 cumstances are finding the season a bit 

 slow. Betail orders for fall delivery have 

 been accumulating with the peony spe- 

 cialists and insure a good season's busi- 

 ness. 



Taking them as a class, the nursery- 

 men of the United States are not an 

 enthusiastic lot. Business in the last 

 year was not good enough to satisfy 

 them and the prospect for the next year 

 does not promise much improvement. 

 Here and there a nurseryman is gen- 

 uinely busy, but in a majority of cases 

 there is nothing to whistle for except to 

 keep one's courage up. 



Recent business conditions have done 

 much to hasten the trend toward smaller 

 and less expensive catalogues. For some 

 time there has been the feeling that the 

 fancy books, with their costly cuts and 

 color plates, while fine for the children 

 to cut up for scrapbooks, were not sell- 

 ing stock in proportion to their cost. 

 The tendency now is distinctly toward 

 less expensive books and increased news- 

 paper advertising. 



At the summer meeting of the Georgia 

 State Horticultural Society, at Clarks- 

 ville, August 18 and 19, President Eobert 

 C. Berckmans, of Augusta, occupied the 

 chair. Other members of the trade who 

 were on the program are: Benjamin W. 

 Hunt, of Eatonton, who delivered the 

 response to the address of welcome; 

 B. W. Stone, of Thomasville, who pre- 

 sented a paper on "Alfalfa as a By- 

 crop to Truck and Fruit; " J. B. Wight, 

 of Cairo, who led in the discussion on 

 "Pecan Growing in North Georgia;" 

 Eugene Rumph, of Marshallville, who 

 spoke on "Asparagus Growing," and 

 H. G. Hastings, of Atlanta, who led the 

 discussion on "Bell Peppers as a 

 Georgia Crop."

 Strawberry Plants 



There are many varieties of Strawberries, 

 but for general home use I recommend these 

 four varielies: 



Success for early, Wm. Belt and Chesa- 

 peake for mid -season, and Stevens' Late 

 Champion for late. These will give a boun- 

 tiful supply of fruit from the beginning to the 

 end of the season. The price to the trade is 

 •2.00 per 100: $i7.50 per 1000.
