Fall orders are not stacking up so 

 well as could be asked. 



Certain nurseries that have well 

 «quipped landscape departments are 

 booked up for a good autumn season, 

 -whereas the general demand for nursery 

 stock for fall delivery is undeniably be- 

 Jow normal. 



The annual badge book and member- 

 ship directory of the Texas Nursery- 

 men's Association contains twenty-seven 

 names. Eelative to their numbers, there 

 are no men in the horticultural trades 

 who can make more noise than the 

 Texans. 



October 5 to 8 will be held the sixth 

 annual citrus seminar at the University 

 of Florida, Gainesville. Lectures, dis- 

 cussions and demonstrations on diseases, 

 pests, fertilizers, refrigeration and other 

 subjects related to the growing and mar- 

 keting of citrus fruits, make up the 

 program. 



From all indications there will be no 

 scarcity this season of such nursery stock 

 as has its origin in France and Eng- 

 land. The growers there appear to have 

 had access to all the labor that was re- 

 quired to produce a larger output than 

 their home markets will consume, so they 

 are looking to America as about the 

 only outlet for a surplus, 



WATSON STARTS FOB HIMSEU. 



John Watson, of Newark, N. Y., an- 

 nounces that he has withdrawn from 

 active participation in the business of 

 the Jackson & "Perkins Co., nurserymen, 

 in 'which, however, he will remain 

 a stockholder and director. He intends 

 to engage in business independently, 

 crowing and selling ornamentals prin- 

 cipally, and to the trade exclusively. 

 This has been his specialty during the 

 ten years he has been a member of the 

 Jackson & Perkins Co. He will sell 

 also fruit tree seedlings, Manetti rose 

 stocks and young ornamentals for nurs- 

 ery planting, these for one of the best 

 jrrowers, graders and packers among 

 the French nurserymen, as well as Eng- 

 lish Manetti and gooseberries for an 

 English house, and continental goods 

 when the war permits. 



A long list of nurserymen here and 

 abroad claim acquaintance with Mr. 

 Watson. He was elected vice-president 

 of the American Association of Nurs- 

 erymen at its convention last June, is 

 an officer in the Nurserymen's Protec- 

 tive Association and also the Wholesale 

 Ornamental Growers, and holds mem- 

 berships in the S. A. F., the Rochester 

 Florists' Club and the Western Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen.

prising. The sycamore has long been 

 regarded as the largest deciduous tree 

 in North America, and its range of 

 growth is hardly second to that of any 

 other broad-leaf tree, for it can be 

 found from Maine to Florida, and as 

 far west as Kansas. 



The bestowal of the prize on a 

 sycamore at Worthington, Ind., which 

 is forty-two feet three inches in cir- 

 cumference and 150 feet tall, draws at- 

 tention to the fact that nurserymen are 

 nowadays recommending the species 

 especially for city planting. They say 

 that long experience with sycamores 

 planted in city streets has shown that 

 the species is peculiarly able to with- 

 stand the smoke, dust and gases which 

 are usually an unavoidable complement 

 of urban life. In addition, the syca-
