AMERICAN ASSOCUTION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., B. W. Klrkpatrlck, McElnney, Tex.; 

 71ee-Pres., O. L. Watroua, Sea Hoinea; Sec'y, 

 G«o. O. Bearer, Booheater; Treaa., O. L. Tatea, 

 Eooheater. The 29th annual convention will be 

 held at Weat Baden, Ind., June, 1906. 



The "want lists" all come back with 

 no offerings of Teas' weeping mulberry. 



T. E. Steele is now proprietor of 

 Parry's Pomona Nurseries, at Palmyra, 

 N. J. 



Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. 

 Y., say that of clematis they are now 

 the largest growers in the world. 



The South Parks system in Chicago 

 now has a nursery of thirty acres grow- 

 ing stock for park uses, a great deal of 

 material* being required for the new 

 work in hand, 



Mamaroneck, L. I. — Christopher J. 

 Schilling of New York will build an es- 

 tate here, including a range of green- 

 houses and much l^dscape work. C. E. 

 Oelshlager, Philadelphia, is the architect. 



At Brandon, Manitoba, the Sterling 

 Nursery Co. is endeavoring to recover 

 $35,000 from the Canadian Pacific Kail- 

 way for loss inflicted by an extension 

 which it ran through the nursery 

 grounds. 



The quantities of flowering shrubs 

 prepared for this season begin to make 

 apparent the fact that a much larger 

 outlet than usual must be found or there 

 will be a surplus after the spring busi- 

 ness is done. 



St. Louis, Mo.— Frederic W. Taylor, 

 Chief of Horticulture at the World's 

 Fair, started March 15 for Europe, to 

 join his family and remain for some 

 time. IJis address will be care the Dres- 

 den Bank, Berlin. 



Although the past winter has been 

 an unusually severe one, nurserymen feel 

 confident that stock has come through 

 in excellent shape, owing to the thick 

 blanket of snow which has everywhere 

 covered the ground. 



Several nurseries, appreciating that 

 the florists have exceptional opportuni- 

 ties for developing business in hardy or- 

 namental stock, jire establishing agen- 

 cies with greenhouse men who do con- 

 siderable bedding out. 



Albertson & HoBBS say that in their 

 opinion the storage cellars generally do 

 not contain such quantities of stock as 

 in some previous season, and that there 

 will be little need for bonfires after the 

 spring orders are out. 



The Chase Nursery Co., piverside, 

 Cal., is supplying 500 orange trees ^r^ 

 — an exp e r i me n tal ir riga t ed ^OTSEarcTnear 

 Artesia, N. Mi, in the hot desert coun- 

 try. It is hoped to put the crop on the 

 eastern market six weeks ahead of the 

 southern California product. 



Whil^ the weeping mulberry may, be 

 called scarce by one looking for a quan- 

 tity, still there is no exceptional demand 

 for it because mo^t Q;f the retail nur- 

 series, have .enough stock for , spring or- 

 ders, and in a ypar. or. two the mulberry 

 will likely be very plentiful again. 



SHRUBS FOR RAILROAD LAWNS. 



Please give us list of hardy shrubs 

 suitable for small railroad lawns around 

 stations, just the common varieties. When 

 is the best time to transplant, spring or 

 fallt M. A. B. 



The following can be recommended as 

 hardy, reliable and satisfactory shrubs 

 for* the locations named: While nearly 

 all these may be transplanted in fall, 

 spring planting, if carried out as soon 

 as the ground can be worked, will give 

 excellent satisfaction. Good sized holes, 

 plenty of good loam, spreading roots 

 and careful and firm planting are some 

 of the essentials of success. In decidu- 

 ous shrubs some of the best common 

 sorts are Lonicera Morrowi and L. Ta- 

 tarica; Spiraea Van Houttei and S. Bu- 

 malda var. Anthony Waterer; Syringa 

 Persica/ Berberis Thunbergi, Hydrangea 

 paniculata grandiflora, Eosa rugosa and 

 ligustrum Ibota. 



If anything in evergreens is needed, a 

 few reliable and inexpensive sorts are 

 Thuya occidentalis, Eetinospora plumosa, 

 E. squarrosa, E. obtusa and E. filifera. 

 These latter might need a light covering 

 of pine boughs over them in winter to 

 prevent browning of the foliage, but the 

 deciduous sorts named are all ironclad.
