AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NVRSCRYMEN. 



Pres^. W. Hale, Enozvllle, Tenn. ; Vlce-Pres., 

 F. A. Weber, St L>ou1b; Sec'y. Geo. C. Se&rer, 

 Booheater, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester, 

 N. Y. The twenty-elgrhth annual convention 

 Will be held at Atlanta, Ga., June, 1904. 



Ellwangee & Babby. of Rochester, N. 

 Y., were hit by hail on May 25. They 

 were insured. 



An arrangement has been made where- 

 by members of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen who will attend the At- 

 lanta convention June 22 to 24 can 

 travel from New York via steamer to 

 either Savannah or Charleston, fare 

 $33.25. 



The landscape work at the University 

 of Chicago, after plans by Olmsted Bros., 

 Boston, is attended by many difSculties, 

 not the least of which is the fact that 

 the soil is pure lake sand. In the plant- 

 ing of some 4-inch elms this season an 

 excavation was made sixteen feet square 

 and four feet deep for each tree and this 

 filled vdth prairie loam, brought from 

 Elgin, 111., forty miles away. 



San Jose scale has made its appear- 

 ance in Oklahoma and the secretary of 

 the territorial board of agriculture says 

 it is because the territory has been the 

 dumping ground for infested nursery 

 tjtock, there being no inspection law. 

 Such a law was passed by both houses 

 of the legislature at the last session, 

 but was vetoed by the governor because 

 of mutilation by an incompetent engross- 

 ing clerk. 



In writing of the attractions of At- ^ 

 lanta as a convention city in late June, 

 Becretary George C. Seager, of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen, 

 says: "The opportunity to see the fa- 

 mous Georgia peach orchards is one 

 which no nurseryman should miss. Am- 

 ple arrangements will be made for their 

 inspection, and southern hospitality is 

 waiting for the nurserymen of the north- 

 em sections, where the winter has been 

 long enough, severe enough and tedious 

 enough to make the land of sunshine and 

 flowers seem peculiarly inviting," 



NATURAL FERTILIZERS. 



Animal manures, unless carefully saved 

 and protected from heavy rains and ex- 

 cessive fermentation, are not rich, and 

 are very variable in their manurial value. 

 Farmyard manures are most effective 

 and valuable when composted or mixed 

 with the soil, or when used in a well- 

 rotted state as a mulch for growing crops. 

 Rapidly fermenting manure will injure 

 the roots of almost any plant. Liquid 

 manures should therefore be made from 

 materials that have already fermented 

 or rotted under such conditions as to 

 conserve their fertilizing value. 



The following proportion . will make 

 capital solutions: Ten pounds of pul- 

 verized sheep-manure to fifty gallons of 

 rain-water; or twenty pounds of cow or 

 hcrse-manure (droppings, when in a com- 

 paratively dry condition) to fifty gallons 

 of rain-water; or three or five pounds 

 of hen or pigeon -manure to fifty gallons 

 of water. 



. The best way is to put the manure

 the sack up and down occasionally and 

 mashing it with a blunt stick, so as to 

 thoroughly break up the contents. 



Strong-growing plants with good root 

 systems will be benefited by feeding 

 with such manure solutions once in ten 

 days or two weeks during the periods 

 of most active growth. When growth is 

 slow or checked by cold or cloudy weather 

 feeding should be discontinued until ac- 

 tive growth again indicates its need. —
