NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce- 

 Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo. 

 C. Seager, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



Wm. J. Quick will retire from the firm 

 of Hewett & Quick, Burtonville, N, Y., and 

 the nursery will be continued by Mrs. 

 C. A. Hewett. 



The Buchanan Nursery Co., St. 

 Charles, Man., is endeavoring to add to 

 the interest in growing small fruits by 

 offering a prize for the best collection at 

 the Winnipeg Industrial Exposition. 



Every season there is increased call 

 for American elms in sizes above three 

 inches caliper. The elm makes a rapid 

 and long continued growth in fairly 

 moist soil and the planting should not be 

 too close. 



There will be a large showing of 

 fruits at the twenty-ninth biennial 

 meeting of the American Pomological 

 Society at Kansas City, August 8 to 10. 

 Silver and bronze medals will be 

 awarded to worthy exhibits. 



MARIE LEMOINE. 



There is confusion as to Peony Marie 

 Leraoine, at least two varieties being 

 offered under that name. One variety 

 is an early blush white, not large and 

 of ordinary growth. The other is the 

 latest white, ivory white in color, the 

 flower large and solid. It is of sturdy, 

 upright growth and does not require 

 supports at any stage. The foliage is 

 dark, glossy green and the lowest leaves 

 are within two inches of the ground, so 

 that it may be cut with long stems 

 without injury to the plant. It is 

 stated by those who have visited the 

 principal growers that some of the larg- 

 est stocks correspond to the first de- 

 scription. ' 



ALL IT IS WORTH. 



The following is clipped from our 

 British contemporary, the Horticultural 

 Advertiser: 



Mme. N. Levavasseur seems to be 

 boomed for all it is worth (if not even 

 a little more) in the States, all the prin- 

 cipal growers advertising large stocks 

 of it. It is claimed it may be had in 

 bloom all the year around and coptinu- 

 ously throughout the season, unlike the 

 Crimson Rambler, which makes one 

 great show and is then over for the 

 year. Our busy cousins cannot find 

 time for such a mouthful of a name as 

 that given by the raiser, and have re- 

 christened it as the Baby Rambler. 



NAME OF INSECT. 

 Can you tell me what the enclosed 

 insect is, how to get rid of it and all 

 about it? H. & C. 





The shrub sent we found to be very 

 badly affected with woolly aphis, 

 known in Europe as American blight. 

 It is particularly bad on apple trees, 

 but attacks a number of other trees. 

 Spraying with poisonous substances is 

 of no avail against these sucking in- 

 sects. They require to be hit with a 

 soap or oil mixture. Kerosene emul- 

 sion is probably the best insecticide

to use against this pest. Make it as 

 follows: One-half pound of any hard 

 soap like Ivory or Welcome, one gal- 

 lon hot water, two gallons kerosene. 

 Pour the kerosene into the hot soap 

 mixture and stir vigorously for a few 

 minutes. Keep in a stone receptacle. 

 In spraying use one ounce to each gal- 

 lon of water. Melt thoroughly in hot 

 water before adding to the cold water. 

 This strength, if well directed, should 

 clear out the aphis. If any linger, 

 give a second application. Whale oil 

 soap is another excellent remedy. Use 

 two pounds to fifty gallons of water. 

 Apply with a force pump or barrel 

 sprayer with an agitator. Do not at- 

 tempt to use the soapy solutions with 

 poisons of any sort. They are not 

 effective, as they do not mix readily.
