 ter. The 3lBt annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 190C. 



The cottony scale is very prevalent on 

 trees in the northern section of Chicago. 



Growers are taking increased interest 

 in the plum seedlings of the northwest. 



The Muskegon Nursery Co., Muske- 

 gon, Mich., will "begin budding 75,000 

 peach trees August 1. 



Peterson Nursery, Chicago, reports 

 a remarkable growing season for all 

 stock. B. E. Gage is visiting Boston 

 and New York. 



C. S. Harrison, horticulturist and 

 author, is now at work on a book en- 

 titled The Evergreens, a companion vol- 

 ume for his Peony Manual and The 

 Goldmine in the Front Yard. 



E. Y. Teas has for several years been 

 planting hedges of Spiraea Van Houteii 

 and retommending it as superior to Cali- 

 fornia privet on account of greater har- 

 diness and greater beauty when in 

 bloom. 



John Craig, secretary of the Ameri- 

 can Pomological Society, sends out the 

 following: "In deference to many re- 

 quests and suggestions, coupled with the 

 diflBculty of securing the speakers desired 

 for an August meeting, the convention 

 has been postponed till September 19 

 to 21, 1905. It will occur, therefore, at 

 the Coates House, Kansas City, the place 

 first announced, and under the same aus- 

 pices. This change assures a good at- 

 tendance, a good fruit exhibit, a cool, 

 pleasant temperature, and an excellent 

 program. ' ' 



THE SEASON IN KANSAS. 



A. L. Brooke, North Topeka, Kas., 

 writes of conditions in the seedling- 

 growing district, as follows: 



' ' The present season has been a pecul- 

 iar one throughout. All kinds of predic- 

 tions were made for Kansas in the early 

 spring, none of which hit the mark any- 

 ways closely. 



"Late frosts ruined the fine prospects 

 for fruit of nearly all kinds, except the* 

 small fruits. Cherries produced less 

 than half a crop. Apples will be eveu 

 worse. Early r.pples are selling now lo 

 the retailers for $1 per bushel. "Winter 

 apples are dropping badly and by pick- 

 ing time there will be very few left for 

 the market. 



"The farm prospects were never bet- 

 ter for a large yield of all products. 

 Early corn is shooting now and the later 

 corn is coming on with a rapid pace. 

 Not for years have there been such pros- 

 pects. A few more rains and the corn 

 crop of Kansas will doubtless excel any 

 crop she has ever raised. Wheat is all 

 in the shock or already threshed. The 

 quality is good and the yield is better 

 than for several years here in the Kaw 

 valley. 



"If the other conditions were right 

 the farmer would be in shape to buy 

 largely of nursery stock. He has the 

 money. He has not received any money 

 from his orchard for several years. As 

 a rule he does not look beyond the im-

Queen Beatrice 



mediate into the future. He prefers to 

 plant more wheat and corn and sell more 

 hogs and not depend on the orchard. 

 Kansas has an apple crop due her but It 

 has been due so long that she will soon 

 be known as an uncertain locality for 

 apples. The Arkansas valley around and 

 above Hutchinson had the apple crop last 

 year and we understand they will be 

 favored again this year. 



"As a center for the raising of apple 

 seedlings this is, perhaps, nq^hing diflfer- 

 ent from other years. As usual, Topeka, 

 with her surrounding towns, will have 

 the large part of the apple seedlings of 

 the United States. We are getting on 

 our feet again after the flood of 1903 

 and have nothing to complain about."
