J. H. Barnett, Jr., recently appointed 

 forester at Gary, Ind., states that park 

 commission there is in the market for 

 considerable quantities of nursery stuck. 



Price-lists of Russian tree seeds com- 

 ing to hand indicate that trade channels 

 are open. Most of them recommend that 

 shipment be made via parcel post, eleven 

 pounds costing $1.60 by this method and 

 getting through with least delay. 



In a recent report to the State depart- 

 ment, Julean H. Arnold, commercial 

 attach^ to the United States embassy at 

 Peking, China, suggests that American 

 seedsmen and nurserymen furnish his of- 

 fice with catalogues, as inquiries are often 

 received for American seed and nursery 

 catalogues. The climate of Peking is dry 

 and cold in winter and damp and hot in 

 summer, with a temperature ranging be- 

 tween zero and 100 degrees. 



SEEDUNOS GROWN IN AMERICA. 



[From a paper on "Seedllnga and Stock Grown 

 In America,'* read by M. J. Crow, of Ollroy, Cal., 

 before the convention of the Pacific Coast Nur- 

 serymen's Association at San Francisco, August 

 12 to 14.] 



For twenty years or more the Kaw 

 valley, in Kansas, and certain sections 

 of Iowa and Nebraska have produced 

 probably ninety per cent of the apple 

 seedlings used in the United States. 

 Of late years Oregon and Washington 

 have taken up seedling growing, and 

 are producing a beautiful grade of 

 apple, pear and cherry stocks, and with- 

 out doubt Myrobalan, quince stocks, 

 Manetti and other rose stocks, etc., can 

 be grown equally well. 



Then why do we annually send to 

 Europe so many thousands of our hard- 

 earned dollars for what can so well be 

 produced at home! There are several 

 reasons for this: First, habit and con- 

 venience; the representatives of Euro- 

 pean firms call on us, offering stock 

 which we know from experience pro- 

 duces satisfactory results, and we dis- 

 like experimenting with the founda- 

 tion stone of our crops; second, there 

 are not as yet enough stocks grown 

 in the United States, with the excep- 

 tion of apple, to supply us all; third, 

 under normal conditions there is money 

 to be saved by buying the foreign prod- 

 uct, though for the last few years do- 

 mestic stock, so far as obtainable, has 

 been as low or lower in price than the 

 foreign. This may be accounted for by 

 the fact that in France there is the 

 strongest kind of an organization of 

 the principal growers; this organiza- 

 tion holds its meetings at stated inter- 

 vals and fixes the price at the highest 

 figure deemed procurable, with the re- 

 sult that our stocks have cost us con- 

 siderably more in recent years than the 

 law of supply and demand warranted, 

 and in consequence French growers 

 have become rich largely at the ex- 

 pense of the American nurseryman. 



Kansas Difficulties. 



To the casual observer it likely 

 seems strange that so few growers have 

 taken to seedling production in view
