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



Work & Smith have succeeded Edgar 

 King, landscape architect, Colorado 

 Springs, Colo. 



There are those who decry the nursery 

 agent but he nevertheless sells the greater 

 part of the stock which is planted each 

 season. 



Pretty steadily the nurserymen are 

 finding out that the advertisement which 

 does not quote a price is the one they 

 never hear from. 



The Fairmont Nursery Co., Fairmont, 

 Minn., has been incorporated with $25,- 

 000 capital stock by Byron E. St. John, 

 Sr., Nina St. John and Victor St. John. 



jAcs. Smits, of Naarden, Holland, is 

 in New York and has made an arrange- 

 ment with Ealph M. Ward & Co. to rep- 

 resent his nursery interests in the United 

 States. 



The board of appraisers at New York 

 has just confirmed the invoice value of a 

 shipment of 1,500 three-year Spiraea An- 

 thony Watcrer from Louis LeEoy, An- 

 gers, France, shipped in February and 

 entered at 31.50 francs. 



Eochester, N. Y.— Vredenburg & Co., 

 horticultural printers, have incorporated 

 with $200,000 capital stock. The incor- 

 porators are Charles W. Vredenburg, 

 Mina M. Vredenburg, Chauncy C. Vreden- 

 burg, John Drechaler, Spencer Arlidge 

 and Howard W. Sneck. 



There is every indication that the at- 

 tendance at the nurserymen's convention 

 this year will break all records. Certainly 

 the association has never had so good a 

 program. It supplies almost an embar- 

 rassment of riches. 



The report is general that the call for 

 hardy perennials is heavier this season 

 than ever. This is true at the older 

 sources of supply notwithstanding that 

 this line of stock can now be had at 

 many nurseries where perennials were 

 not handled a couple of years or so ago. 



Nurserymen are still planting. It 

 has been an unusually long season and 

 has permitted a good clean-up and the 

 putting of things into better shape than 

 for several years. While there are re- 

 ports of surpluses here and there on a 

 number of items, it is a generally very 

 satisfactory season. 



Harlan P. Kelsey, chairman of the 

 committee, announces another change in 

 the program for the West Baden meet- 

 ing of the American Association of Nur- 

 serymen. For the paper entitled 

 "Plants in Department Stores," by 

 Howard A. Chase, of Philadelphia, is to 

 be substituted one entitled "San Jose 

 Scale Again; the Best Spray," by F. C. 

 Hall, of Maryland. 



from Germany to plant upon a partly 

 denuded tract of Adirondack land. It 

 is only one of many recent instances 

 showing an awakened sense of the value 

 of forest preservation and culture among 

 the very men who have been its chief 

 enemies. The German spruce is espe- 

 cially valuable for its rapid growth. 



Some of the more intelligent Adiron- 

 dack lumbermen now follow to advantage 

 the policy of cutting only trees above a 

 certain size, leaving the rest to grow. 

 Great railway companies are planting 

 thousands of acres of forest for the pur- 

 pose of providing ties for the future. In 

 Kansas the commercial cultivation of the 

 catalpa has proved a success. 



Ten years ago the prospect of saving 

 even a portion of the nation's forest 

 wealth and thus preventing millions of 

 acres of land from becoming a semi- 

 desert waste looked rather discouraging. 

 Today it is possible to report progress. 



chot, Forester of the United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture and Chief of 

 the Bureau of Forestry, entitled "A 

 Primer of Forestry," which is published 

 in two parts. Part I was issued in 1899, 

 and has passed through several editions, 

 reaching a circulation of about 225,000 

 copies. It deals with the life of a single 

 tree, with trees as they exist in a forest, 

 with the life of a forest, and with the 

 enemies of the forest. 



Part II of the Primer has just been 

 published. It deals with "Practical 

 Forestry," the purpose of which is de- 

 fined as "to make the forest render its 

 best service to man in such a way as to 

 increase rather than to diminish'''lts use- 

 fulness in the future." In other words, 

 it means "both the use and the preser- 

 vation of the forest." 



THE PRIMER OF FORESTRY. 



As a source of positive information 

 about what forestry really is, and to 

 spread a knowledge of its methods, a 

 book has been prepared by Giflford Pin-
