NURSERY NEWS. 



AMCRKAN ASSOCUTHM OT NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., B. W. Kirkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tez : 

 iriee-Pres., C. L. Watrous, Des Moines; Sec'; 

 Geo. O. Sealer, Rochester; Treas.. C. L. Yates 

 Rochester. The 29th annual convention will be

At Meohanicsville, la., H. F. Collver 

 and James Graham will establish a large 

 nursery. 



D. S. Lake, Shenandoah, la., reports 

 an unusually heavy sale on apple seed- 

 lings. They are putting up 35,000 to 

 40,000 apple grafts a day this season. 



Mrs. p. kj. Peterson, Chicago, is a 

 member of the committee of the Illinois 

 Federated Women 's Club which is pushing 

 the forestry bills before the state legis- 

 lature. 



Klehms ' Nursery, Arlington Heights, 

 111., report prospects for a big spring 

 season. They make a specialty of land- 

 scape work and have a number of large 

 jobs of a public or semi-public character. 



Eeports from southern nurserymen in- 

 dicate that early accounts of the damage 

 to peach buds by the cold winter are not 

 greatly overdrawn. In Florida the orange 

 crop was cut, but the trees did not suffer 

 severely. 



An elaborate program is in course of 

 preparation for the meeting of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen ^t| 

 "West Baden, Ind., in June. Among 

 those who have promised addresses are 

 C. J. Maloy, G. L. Taber, Prof. Geo. T. 

 Moore, Howard A. Chase, J. C. Hale, 

 H. L. Bird and others.' ' / • 



The florist who starts out to establish 

 a trade in nursery stock will make no 

 greater mistake than to go to the cheap- 

 est source of supply for the stock to fill 

 his orders. Say that you get a dollar 

 for planting a shrub; you can buy it for 

 10 cents, but you will do better to pay 

 two or three times as much and get 

 three or four times as good a plant. 



Every now and then some nursery- 

 man emits a "wail" because the low 

 price competitors are cutting into his 

 trade. There are "price" houses and 

 "quality" houses in every line and the 

 cheap nursery stock is no more to be 

 feared by the dealer in good stock than 

 is the "price" house to be feared by 

 the dealers in good merchandise in any 

 other branch of business. 



SUE ON EXCHANGE DEAL. 



Suit was filed in the district court at 

 ,Salt Lake City, March 11, by Harness, 

 Dix & Co, against the Stark Bros. 

 Nurseries & Orchards Co., to recover 

 $404.46 alleged to be the balance due on 

 a contract in relation to the sale and ex- 

 change of certain fruit trees between 

 the parties to the action. Plaintiff al- 

 leges that it agreed with defendant to 

 furnish to defendant a car-load of pear 

 trees in exchange for a car-load of ap- 

 ple trees. The pear trees were shipped 

 all right but instead of defendant ship- 

 ping plaintiff a car-load of apple trees 

 it is alleged it only sent a part of a car- 

 load. Out -o4 .ihe total number shipped 

 plaintiff alleges' that 1,202 were diseased 

 and of no value. Defendant has ever 



since refused to make good the balance 

 of the trees, hence judgment is asked 

 for their value. 



AMERICAN APPLES IN ENGLAND. 



Some interesting information relative 

 to American apples in England appears 

 in a report made by United States Consul 

 Albert W. Swalm, of Southampton, 

 England, dated January 25, 1905. He 

 states that the reports from local mar- 

 kets as to the condition of the pack of 

 American apples put on the English 

 market is exceedingly creditable to the 

 packers, and that it is seldom that the 

 standard varieties popular in the English 

 market have turned out so much in favor 

 and to the taste of the buyers, the fruit 

 being of that firm mold and solid condi- 

 tion generally required in the English 

 market. 



In 1903 the enormous amount of 11,- 

 000,000 bushels of American and Cana- 

 dian apples were sold in the English 

 market, and from present appearances 

 that record will be nearly if not quite 

 equaled from the crop of 1904. 



DISTANCE TO PLANT. 



I have a customer who wants me to 

 plant a fruit garden this spring. How 

 far apart should apple, peach, pear and 

 cherry trees be planted, also grapes, 

 currants, raspberries, blackberries and 

 gooseberries? I have planted a good 

 many geraniums in my time but the 

 nursery line is new to me. H. 0. 



Apple trees of standard varieties 

 would best be set thirty feet apart 

 each way. The cherry and pear trees 

 will need twenty feet each way, while 

 peaches and plums may be set sixteen 

 feet. The grapes should have seven 

 or eight feet 'and if more than one 

 row is planted make the rows ten feet 

 apart. Raspberries and blackberries will 

 do at three feet apart, but currants 

 and gooseberries should have a little 

 more space, sfty four feet. If ytfa can 

 spare the space make liberal allowance 

 between the rows, A fruit garden with 

 grass walks is a very attractive spot, 

 but of course a space around the plants 

 must be kept cultivated. T. S.
