NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOQATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



PreB., E W Klrkpatrlck, McKlnney, Tex.; 

 Vlce-Pres., C. L. WatrouB, Des Moines; Sec'y, 

 Geo. C. Seager, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, 

 Rochester. The 29th annual convention will be 

 held at West Baden Springs. Ind., June 14-17, 1905. 



The end of the season sees little ma- 

 terial for the annual bonfires. 



Jackson Bros, are starting in the 

 mursery business at Sigourney, la. 



The demand for hardy Japanese nurs- 

 ery stock is steadily on the increase. 



The report is of a very successful 

 season for nurserymen on the Pacific 

 coast. 



Pacific coast nurserymen are send- 

 ing small quantities of stock to 

 Hawaii. 



_ The Jonathan apple is a popular va- 

 riety in Australia and the nurserymen 

 there are offering large blocks of it. 



The United States Nursery Co., now;, 

 has upwards of 200 acres of roses, be-* 

 side shrubs and some herbaceous stock 

 at Rich, Miss. 



The forthcoming Yearbook of the De- 

 partment of Agriculture will contain a 

 paper entitled ' ' Promising New Fruits, ' ' 

 T)y Wm. A. Taylor. 



Of all the conifers there is none more 

 popular than the Colorado blue spruce, 

 and the Koster variety is very generally 

 grown. It has been in large demand this 

 season. 



The consensus of opinion seems to be 

 "that the nurseryman who neglects to 

 subsoil where he has stiff soil is fail- 

 ing to get the best possible root system 

 on his stock. 



Haklan p. Kelsey, for the program 

 committee, announces that Assistant 

 Secretary Willet M. Hays, of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, Washington, 

 D. C, has consented to be at the conven- 

 tion of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen at West Baden Springs, 

 Ind., June 14 to 16, and will talk on 

 plant breeding. Mr. Kelsey feels that 

 iis presence will materially increase 

 the interest of the meeting and trusts 

 the attention of all the nurserymen will 

 be called to the matter and others inter- 

 efsted largely in fruit growing. It is 

 expected Mr. Hays will speak Thurs- 

 day evening, June 15, at 7.45 p. m. 



The Wm. H. Moon Co. reports that 

 this season will probably total the largest 

 sales in the history of the business, 

 without any abnormal features. 



A habdy Japanese evergreen which 

 makes a beautiful specimen on a lawn 

 is Sciadopitys verticillata. It is of com- 

 pact conical form. There is a variegated 

 variety. 



The nurserymen in southern Indiana 

 are getting ready to entertain company 

 next month. Only once before in its 

 twenty-eight years has the national as- 

 sociation met in that state. 



THE SEASONS BUSINESS. 



The following summaries of the sea- 

 son's nursery trade have been received 

 from well known firms: 



T. S. Hubbard Co., Fredonia, N. Y. — 

 Our business has been very satisfactory 

 and in every line we handle we arel 



cleaned up on almost everything. We do 

 not recall any unusual feature in the 

 trade the past season, except pearhaps the 

 fact that it continued later than usual, 

 owing probably to the cool, backward 

 spring. 



P. J. BebckmAiNS Co., Augusta, Qa. 

 — The nursery business for the past sea- 

 son has befen unusually heavy. The de- 

 mand for the commercial varieties of 

 peach trees was extremely heavy. Not- 

 withstanding the immensef area in the 

 south now planted in commercial or- 

 chards, the planting does not seem to 

 be decreasing. Already there is a great 

 demand for peach tree's for fall plant- 

 ing. An unusual and most healthful 

 feature is the growing demand for hardy 

 ornamental trees and plants. The desire 

 for beautiful grounds is becoming very 

 contagious, and we have a large num- 

 ber of landscape contracts on hand. The 

 planting of nursery stock is far in ex- 

 cess of that of previous years.
