AMERICAN ASSOaATION Of NURSlRYMtN. 



PrPB e' W Klrkpatrlek, McKlnney, Tex.; 

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

 Geo C. SeAger, Rochester; Treae., C. L. Yates, 

 w^hPster The 29th annual convention will be 

 hgld at West Badfn Springs. Ind.. June 14-17. 1905. 



EvKRY indication points to the banner 

 meeting of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen at West Baden, Ind,, next 

 week. 



Western nurserymen are well pleased 

 with the financial outlook in their sec- 

 tion. It speaks for even better business 

 than in the past. 



It is pretty hard to see that there 

 is any change in the old, established 

 methods of growing nursery stock, either 

 in the matter of heading or other details. 



A NEWLY discovered species of juni- 

 perus has been named Pinchoti, in honor 

 of Gififord Pinchot, of the U, S, Bureau 

 of Forestry. It is found in the thin soil 

 of certain parts of Texas, 



From east and west the report is that 

 weather conditions to date have been 

 favorable to give the season's plant a 

 good start and that the prospect is for 

 excellent stock for next season. 



Many growers are expected to leave 

 the nurserymen's convention at West 

 Baden next week Friday night and have 

 Saturday at the exhibition of the Ameri- 

 can Peony Society at the Auditorium 

 Hotel, Chicago. 



From all sections of the country comes 

 the report that the call for ornamental 

 stock was greater the past season than 

 ever before. While the business in fruit 

 trees is good it shows no such increase as 

 is noted in the ornamental department. 

 In the older sections of the country large 

 specimens are wanted. 



THE BABY RAMBLER. 



In a recent circular letter Chas. J. 

 Brown, of Brown Bros., Rochester, calls 

 the Baby Eambler "the best rose ever 

 introduced ' ' and says of it : 



"We have never handled anything 

 that sold as this rose does, and fur- 

 thermore we have watched it closely and 

 are confident that it is bound to be in 

 great demand for the next fifteen or 

 twenty years. We are pretty familiar 

 with the stocks both in this country and 

 in Europe. Many representatives of for- 

 eign houses are traveling around and of- 

 fering this rose and I am satisfied that 

 they are booking a great many more or- 

 ders than will ever be filled. In our 

 experience last year, under a very defi- 

 nite agreement with the originators, we 

 received only about one-half the number 

 agreed upon, and two-thirds of the half 

 80 received were very inferior plants." 



FORESTERS WANTED. 



The Bureau of Forestry, U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture, has published 

 a circular giving information regarding 

 employment on the national forest re- 

 serves. This circular explains how ap- 

 pointments to the forest service on the 

 reserves are made, states the salaries of 

 Its members, and indicates the knowl- 

 edge and experience required of rangers 

 and supervisors, and the duties each 

 niust perform. The future organization 

 will include forest supervisors at $1,800 

 '0 $2,500 a year, deputy forest super- 



visors at $1,500 to $1,700, forest rangers 

 at $1,200 to $1,400, deputy forest rang- 

 ers at $1,000 to $1,100, and assistant 

 forest rangers at $800 to $900, The 

 law requires that every applicant for a 

 position in the forest service pass a 

 civil service examination. 



Work upon the forest reserves offers 

 good and increasing opportunity for men 

 of the right sort. Requests for informa- 

 tion about the times and places when 

 and where examinations will be held 

 should be addressed to the Civil Service 

 Commission, Washington, D. C. 



THE NURSERY LANDSCAPIST. 



In the past few years it has become the 

 practice for nearly all large nurseries to 

 prepare planting plans for anyone in need 

 of such and it has invariably been found 

 that the landscape department is a valu- 

 able adjunct to the sales department. 

 There are those who deplore the tendency 



of the nurseries to go into landscape 

 gardening. By some it is professed that 

 the artistic temperament, or at least an 

 artistic training, is necessary in the 

 landscape architect. On the other hand 

 there are those who do not hold the be- 

 lief that long hair and a flowing red 

 necktie are necessary attributes of the 

 landscape architect. They believe that 

 if landscape architects knew less of art 

 and had a more intimate knowledge of 

 plants the work they do would be more 

 uniformly successful. As a matter of 

 fact those nurseries which are known to 

 practice the most careful cultural and 

 the most thorough business methods are 

 to be relied upon to procure the best 

 talent for their landscape departments, 

 and in any event one is as safe in trust- 

 ing to a nursery planting plan as he is 

 in entrusting his work to those of the 

 landscape architects who are without 

 practical gardening experience.
