 ltel4 at West ?aden, Ind., June, 1906. 



• The sale- for fruit trees, while already 

 great, is only a fraction of what it may 

 easily become in the west and northwest 

 if developed along right lines. 



Peter Brondyke, of Morrison, 111,, ex- 

 pects to engage in the nursery business 

 at Grand lipids, Iklich. 



W. V. Eberly is now manager of tho 

 California Nursery Co., Niles, Cal., suc- 

 ceeding the late John Kock. 



Saddler Bros., nurserymen. Blooming- 

 ton, 111., are building a large storage and 

 packing house to cost $5,000. 



At Flintville, Tenn., H. L. Brown, F. 

 M. Copeland and W. lA. England are pre- 

 paring to start in the nursery business. 



The sale for hybrid perpetual roses is 

 increasing annually and each year one 

 or mpre desirable varieties is short of 

 the demand. 



The planting season for nursery stock 

 is practically at an end and in general 

 it has been a good fall business. Stor- 

 age houses are well filled for spring. 



Wm. a. Peterson, Chicago, and his 

 family started December 12 for Los An- 

 geles, where Mrs. Peterson and the chil- 

 dren will spend the winter. Mr. Peter- 

 son will remain a month. 



The Iowa State Horticultural Society 

 is in session at Des Moines this week. 

 Among the nurserymen on the program 

 are Silas Wilson, C. L. Watrous, C. R. 

 Bechtle, M. J. W^ragg, H. A. Terry and 

 C. F. Gardner. 



An economy of space is secured by 

 planting trees by the triangular or equi- 

 lateral rather than the square method. 

 To determine the number of trees re- 

 quired per acre, divide the number re- 

 quired by the square method by the deci- 

 mal fraction .866. 



The Kansas State Horticultural So- 

 ciety will meet at Topeka, December 27 

 to 29. Many western nurserymen will 

 be present, also J. H. Hale, of South 

 Glastonbury, Conn., who is on the pro- 

 gram for an address on peach growing, 

 also for one on the work of the Ameri- 

 can Pomological Society.

' A constantly increasing number , of

 seryman who takes good care, of . their 

 orders will find tjiem increasingly valua-

The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has been experimenting ever since the big 

 freeze of 1898, with a view to securing 

 an orange which would be hardy enouglv 

 to stand the coldest weather that is like- 

 ly to come to the south. Prof. Galloway 

 says the success has been remarkable, that 

 several valuable varieties, other than one 

 particularly hardy sort have resulted and 

 will be given a thorough trying out. 



THE WESTERN TREND. 



Thus far the nearest approach which 

 the west has had to the splendid estate* 

 which center in a number of localities in 

 the east is the summer colony at Lake 

 Geneva, Wis., where a number of Chicago 

 families maintain small but pretty places. 

 But as wealth passes to the second gen- 

 eration and leisure increases there is sure 

 to be a rapid development of fine country 

 estates on a par with those in older sec- 

 tions of the United States. This ten- 

 dency is already being manifested by the 

 purchase of farms in the vicinity of 

 Lake Forest, 111., only about twenty 

 miles from Chicago. The several wealthy 

 men are individually buying adjoining 

 farms with the purpose of combining 

 several properties into a splendid estate. 

 When this movement gathers force, as it 

 is sure to do soon, it will mean a great 

 opportunity for the landscape architects, 

 the nurserymen and the gardeners.

THE FIRE RISK. 



The insurance men are taking an in- 

 terest in the holiday decorating this 

 year. Last Saturday the Chicago un- 

 derwriters sent out a notice cautioning 

 against the use of inflammable decora- 

 tions, mentioning in particular such 

 things as wild smilax, bouquet green 

 wreathing, etc. Similar notices have been 

 cent out in many other cities. The cau- 

 tion was directed particularly toward de- 

 partment stores, but they are not ex- 

 tensive users of green, having too many 

 goods to show at this season to give space 

 to decorations not salable.
