AMERICAN ASSOaATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., E W Klrkpatrlek, McKlnney, Tex.; 

 Vlce-Prea., C. L. Watrous, Dee 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 European nurserymen say that 

 trade conditions are more active in Amer- 

 ica tlian in any otlier country in which 

 they have connections. 



A LOCAL Massachusetts nurseryman 

 says that this spring pear trees could 

 scarcely be given away, apple trses were 

 in good demand and of peach trees he 

 could not get enough. 



This spring a number of nurseries 

 made their first plantings of hardy 

 herbaceous stock. Growers who under- 

 stand handling this class of material arc 

 jeported in demand. 



Geo. T. Powell contributed a half- 

 page illustrated article on tree-planting 

 to the New York Sun of Sunday, June 

 4, in which he discoursed interestingly on 

 our best native sorts. 



For lawn planting the imported cut- 

 leaved, purple-leaved and weeping 

 beeches make beautiful trees. They 

 should be planted as single specimens 

 and where they have an abundance of 

 room. 



In spite of recent reports of damage 

 by frost, the Georgia T^each growers are 

 preparing to harvest a crop ruany train- 

 loads heavier than that of last year. 

 And still the call for peach trees is un- 

 abated. 



West Baden, Ii;d., June 14. — The 

 annual convention of the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen opened here this 

 morning and long before the call to 

 order it was demonstrated that the ac- 

 tivity of the program committee had 

 borne fruit in an attendance which ex- 

 ceeds previous records. Every section of 

 the country is represented. It has been 

 a successful season for everyone and 

 there is a general feeling of satisfaction 

 and confidence which is refiected in the 

 interchange of orders for stock as well 

 as on the convention floor. The program 

 will be carried out with few changes but 

 it will take a rigid adherence to the time 

 schedule. 



TO GROW ROSES. 



The following is from the Fulton, Ky., 

 Leader of June 10: 



A vast flower garden of 3,000 acres is 

 what Ohio horticulturists propose to es- 

 tablish in the delta section of Missis- 

 sippi. They propose to have a very large 

 rose farm and ship roses and cuttings 

 to every part of the United States. Dur- 

 ing the last week 3,000 acres of land in 

 Tallahatchie county, Mississippi, near 

 Tutwiler, on the Lake Cormorant branch 

 of the Yazoo & Mississippi "Valley rail- 

 road, have been purchased. The promot- 

 ers of the scheme are John M. Good, L. 

 Vemey, C. T. Bidgely, Edwin S. Houck, 

 C. W. Welsh and L. P. Jop, all of them 

 being from Springfield, O. 



Memphis has been decided upon as 

 the distributing center. Arrangements 

 will soon be made for early planting in 

 the spring. The first season's cuttings 

 will be planted for the following season 's 

 marketing. 



H. K. Gotta, the Rockford, 111., nurs- 

 eryman, recently fell down an areaway 

 while doing some planting and tore the 

 muscles of one leg. 



The Pacific coast nurserymen hold 

 their annual convention in June, the 

 Texas men in July, and the southeast- 

 em growers meet at Asheville in Au- 

 gust. 



E. Y. Teas is said to be the oldest 

 nurseryman in Indiana, and he is cer- 

 tainly one of the oldest in the country, 

 for he began in 1847. At present he con- 

 fines himself to perennials and bulbous 

 plants. 



It is feared that the poor results with 

 the southern strawberry crop will have 

 effect on next season's business in 

 strawberry plants, though the growers 

 lay much of the blame for lost ship- 

 ments upon the refrigerator car lines. 



The European horticultural publica- 

 tions have let up on the "ornamental 

 horticulturists" appendage to the S. A. 

 F. to take a few cracks at the American 

 characteristic as they see it shown in the 

 time allowances for the nurserymen's 

 convention this week. This is from the 

 Gardeners ' Magazine : ' * The American 

 Association of Nurserymen appreciates 

 the value of time, and the proceedings at 

 its thirtieth annual convention are ar- 

 ranged to the minute. Reports of various 

 committees are to occupy not more than 

 five minutes, papers vary from fifteen 

 minutes to an hour, and discussion is lim- 

 ited to ten or fifteen minutes. Even the 

 election of state vice-presidents is to be 

 concluded in five minutes. No less than 

 eighteen papers are to be read and dis- 

 cussed. If our own Tuesday meetings 

 could be scheduled and timed on some 

 such lines, some folks we know would 

 possibly find time for lunch. ' '
