NDKSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOCUTION^Or NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., E. W. Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.; 

 Vlce-Pres., C. L. WatrouB. Des Molneb; Secy, 

 Geo. C. Seajrer, Rochester; Treaa., C. L. Yates, 

 Sochester. The 29th annual convention will be 

 held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1M)6. 



The peony Richardson's Rubra Su- 

 perba has made an appreciable advance 

 in popular esteem this season. 



The pecan industry is growing rapidly 

 and many southern nurserymen find the 

 call for pecan trees a large part of their 

 business. 



The Association of American Ceme- 

 tery Superintendents meets at Chicago 

 August 24 to 26. There will be a large 

 attendance. 



There will be large plantings of na- 

 tive rhododendrons, azaleas and kalmias 

 this fall, according to inquiries received 

 by southern shippers. 



The hickory is a tree which is no 

 longer sought, the results having been 

 unsatisfactory in almost all localities 

 where it has been planted. 



Plan the thinning of trees and shrubs 

 and, before the foliage falls, mark those 

 to be removed. The cutting out can be 

 done at any convenient time. 



It is reported that the call for Amer- 

 ican elm for park work last spring pretty 

 well cleaned up stocks except in one or 

 two large nurseries making a specialty 

 of this tree. 



BLACX APHIS. 



Could you offer a suggestion as to the 

 best means of killing, as I term it, black 

 aphis? They appear f.n clematis and 

 hardy chrysanthemums and have infest- 

 ed the plum trees. I have sprayed these 

 plants with water and coverad them with 

 tobacco dust, but it seems to do no good. 

 My Jackmanni vine was infested with 

 black aphis. I sprayed with tobacco 

 dust and washed it off the next day. I 

 gave them two applications and the re- 

 sult was that I have kilbd about three- 

 fourths of the large," old vine. My 

 Rudbeckia Golden Glow has been infested 

 with a red aphis. A local bu^jologist tells 

 me that this is the same aphis that has 

 attacked the chrysanthenuun and the 

 clematis, but the color is due to the 

 plants upon which thev feed. 



[ AV. W. D. 



We would suggest the use of kerosene 

 emulsion for clearing out black, red or 

 green aphis. It can be made as follows: 

 Dissolve ono-half pound of any hard 

 soap in one gallon of boiling water; add 

 two gallons of kerosene and churn well 

 with a pump for a fev minutes. Use 

 a wooden or earthen vessel. Dilute fif- 

 teen times before applying. This emul- 

 sion is also very useful for scale insects, 

 for which it may be diluted five times. 

 Whale oil soap will also be found ef- 

 fectual for the pests named. Directions 

 for use are on every package. Sulpho- 

 tobacco soap we can also recommend. An 

 8-ounce cake is sufficient for four gallons 

 of water. The kerosene emulsion will 

 keep some time but is better fresh. We 

 use both this and the whale oil soap on 

 trees fifty to eighty feet high for aphides 

 and plant lice with best results.

THE READERS' CORNER. 



A Spite Fence. 



I would like to get advice from some 

 fiorist who has had experience about a 

 board spite fence. I have been in the 

 florist business for about twenty-four 

 years in Winton Place. Two years ago 

 the Cincinnati Chemical Company built 

 a large factory on the west side of my 

 place. Last winter they bought 200 

 feet more ground on the east side. They 

 want to build a switch track from the 

 Baltimore & Ohio railway to their fac- 

 tory, and to do this they have to get 

 the right of way through my place. 

 They offered but a trifle and I refused 

 to let them go through. Now, to spite 

 me, they put up a tight board fence 

 eight feet high, a distance of 235 feet 

 along my place. My greenhouses are 

 built low, each 160 feet long, and are 

 one foot from the line of the fence. It 

 shades the first greenhouse so badly in 

 the winter season that I cannot grow 

 anything in it. I told my lawyer of 

 this and wanted to get an injunction 

 against the Cincinnati Chemical Com- 

 pany to prevent them from building the 

 fence, but he said he could not do any- 

 thing for me, because he says people 

 can build fences as high as they want 

 and there is no law that can stop them. 

 This fence was put up the latter part 

 of May. 



Will some brother florist tell me what 

 to do to get this fence down, so as not 

 to shade my glass? Would like to hear 

 from one who has had experience in this 

 line.
