 yesirs head of the Iowa State Agricul- 

 tural College, died at San Antonio, Tex., 

 December 20. He was widely known 

 among nurserymen. 



B. T. HOYT, the Minnesota nursery-

 turers of preserves.

 mand for the past season and prospects 

 for big business in 1905, with stock short 

 in many varieties. Foreign growers are 

 advancing their prices, pushing them in 

 some instances higher than the same sorts

WESTERN NURSERYMEN MEET. 



The Western Association of Wholesale 

 Nurserymen held its annual convention 

 at Kansas City, December 20 and 21, 

 with a large number of nurserymen from 

 Missouri, Kansas, Iowa and the south- 

 west in attendance. An amendment to 

 the constitution of the association was 

 offered by A. L. Brooke, of Topeka, 

 providing for the dropping of the word 

 "wholesale" from the title of the organ- 

 ization. It wouiu then be known sim- 

 ply as the Western Association of Nur- 

 serymen, and would not, as now, be re- 

 stricted to the large nurseries which do 

 a wholesale business. The amendment 

 will not be voted upon until next year's 

 meeting, but the sentiment ox the asso- 

 ciation seems to be favorable to its adop- 

 tion. 



The annual election resulted in the 

 choice of these officers for the ensuing 

 year: President, Peter Youngers, 

 Greneva, Neb.: vice-president, A. Wil- 

 lis, Ottawa, Kan.; secretary and treas- 

 urer, E. J. Holman, Leavenworth, Kan.; 



executive committee, F. H. Stannard, 

 Ottawa, E[an.; W. P. Stark, Louisiana, 

 Mo.; K. J. Bagby, New Haven, Mo.; 

 D. S. Lake, Shenandoah, la., and K P. 

 Bamardin, Parsons, Kan. 



The association endorsed the work of 

 the Postal Progress League. W. P. 

 Stark discussed the increased production 

 and narrowing margin of profit in the 

 business. Other taUts were by B. J. 

 Bagby, E. S. Welch, J. A. Lopeman, E. 

 M. Sherman and J. W. Schutte. Prof. 

 G. G. Hedgecock, of the Missouri Botanic 

 Garden, delivered an address on diseases 

 of nursery stock. 



There was also a meeting of retail 

 nurserymen December 20, presided' over 

 by J. W. Hill, of Des Moines. 



ELMIRA.N.Y. 



Holiday trade here has been very grat- 

 ifying, both to the grower and retailer, 

 trade being good, prices fair and a really 

 good demand. The various stores in the 

 city were tastefully decorated for the oc- 

 casion and attracted considerable atten- 

 tion. They showed an assortment of pot 

 plants and cut flowers that would have 

 done credit to a much larger city. 



Among the growers there is a feeling 

 of satisfaction that this is one of their 

 best, both in volume of business done and 

 in regard to prices, which, while satis- 

 factory to themselves, were also consid- 

 ered fair by their customers. The supply 

 of roses was smaller than was anticipated, 

 owing to continued dull weather, which 

 also affected the output of carnations to 

 a considerable extent, but the quality of 

 both was excellent and the demand such 

 that many orders had to be refused. Vio- 

 lets also were a short crop and prices 

 ruled high. Of greens, such as smilax, 

 Asparagus plumosus and Sprengeri, there 

 was an abundance and a fair demand. 

 Lilies were scarce and in little demand, 

 while callas sold readily at $15 per hun- 

 dred. Bulbous stock, with the exception 

 of Paper Whites and Romans, was scarce, 

 the price for these being $3 to $4, with a 

 fair demand during the latter part of the 

 week. 



In potted plants, such as azaleas, cyc- 

 lamens, primroses, etc., the demand was 

 much heavier than last year and the retail 

 stores did a big business in this line. 



Mr. Durand, who succeeded the late 

 Grove P. Kawson, made an excellent show- 

 ing, his poinsettiaa and violets being ex- 

 ceptionally fine. 



H. N. Hoffman had a very fine cut of 

 ' carnations, which he disposed of at good 

 prices. Mr. LaFrance also did a big 

 business in carnations and potted plants. 

 Mr. Leyden, who started in business about 

 two months ago, reports a fine trade and 

 expresses himself as being satisfied with 

 his venture. 



From the throngs which crowded Mr. 

 Leavitts ' store it was evident ,that he was 

 doing a rushing business. He is satisfied 

 that his trade is fifty per cent larger than 

 last year. 



This being the first year of the United 

 States Cut Flower Co., it was watched by 

 the other growers and the stockholders 

 with a good deal of interest. Their cut of
