HDBSERY NEWS, 



AMERICAN ASSOCIATION Of NURSERYMEN. 



Pres.. B. "W. Klrkpatrlcb, McElnney, Tex.; 

 vlce-Pre«., C. L. WatrouB, Des Moines; Sec'y, 

 Geo. O. Searer, Rochester; Treas., O. L. Tates. 

 Rochester. The 29th annual convenUon will be 

 held at West Baden, Ind., June, 1905. 



W. W. Hammond, nurseryman for 

 thirty-five years at Bement, 111., died of 

 apoplexy January 15. 



Large importations of roses from Hol- 

 land are in a measure supplying the 

 shortage on many kinds. 



It looks as though the wholesale grow- 

 ers of fruit trees would clean up next 

 spring better than for several years. 



A Mr. Gilbert has bought 200 acres 

 of land near Mason City, la., and an- 

 nounces his intention of starting a nur- 

 sery. 



E. F. Stephens, the well-known nur- 

 seryman of Crete, savs western Nebraska 

 is on the verge of a horticultural awak- 

 ening. 



T. V. MuNSON, Denison, Tex., will dis- 

 cuss "Breeding Grapes" and F. E. 

 Beatty, Three Rivers, Mich,, will tell of 

 "Improvement of the Strawberry by Se- 

 lection" at the meeting of the American 

 Breeders' Association at Champaign, 111., 

 February 1 to 3. 



The newly elected officers of the Ne- 

 braska State Horticultural Society are: 

 President, G. S. Christy, Johnson; first 

 vice-president, C. S. Harrison, York; 

 second vice-president, E. M. Pollard, 

 Nehawka; secretary, L. M. Bussel, Lin- 

 coln; treasurer, Peter Youngers, Geneva. 



Thomas Knight, in commenting on 

 the recent note on propagating Kalmia 

 latifolia says that at Antwerp, Belgium, 

 he has seen very fine stock propagated 

 from layers. He says that there this is 

 undoubtedly the best way of propagating 

 this shrub but that the sandy soil which 

 covers the northwestern part of Belgium 

 is particularly suited for the purpose. 



PARK SUPERINTENDENTS. 



The executive committee of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Park Superintend- 

 ents met in Springfield, Mass., January 

 18. It was decided that the next con- 

 vention of the association shall be held 

 in Buffalo June 28 to 30, and Messrs. 

 J. F, Cowell, Buffalo; J. W. Duncan, 

 Boston, and W. S. Egerton, Albany, 

 were appointed a committee of arrange- 

 ments. It is probable that arrange- 

 ments will be made to visit Niagara 

 Falls and Rochester at the same time. 

 It was to be regretted that owing to 

 sickness some of the active members of 

 the committee were unable to be present. 

 These included Robert Cameron, W. F. 

 Gale and J. H. Hemingway. Several 

 recommendations' for changes in the by- 

 laws were made and a committee was 

 appointed to arrange for the publication 

 of the bulletins of the association. Those 

 attending the meeting were: Gustav 

 Amhryn, New Haven, Conn.; J. W. Ihin- 

 can and J. A. Pettigrew, Boston; Byron 

 Worthen, Manchester, N. H.; J. F. 

 Cowell, Buffalo; C. E. Keith, Bridge- 

 port, Conn.; W. S. Egerton, Albany, 

 N. Y.; Theodore Wirth, and G. A. Par- 

 ker, Hartford, Conn.
