NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



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

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

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

 ter. The 3lBt annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



The indications are that the importa- 

 tions of French nursery stock for next 

 season will be heavier than ever. 



Wherever the improved varieties of 

 lilac were seen m flower last spring there 

 is a call for plants. 



The North Carolina dealers report nat- 

 ural peach pits to be in fair quantity 

 and good quality. 



There is a call from leading private 

 estates for espalier-trained apple-trees, 

 such as are so largely used in France. 



Minnesota nurserymen are pushing 

 northern grown plum seedlings, which are 

 reported to have given good satisfaction 

 to those who have used them. 



Rochester, N. Y. — Brown Bros, Co., 

 of this city, are the introducers of the 

 Baby Eambler rose to the trade of the 

 United States. It was while on a visit 

 to France in the summer of 1902 that 

 Mr. Charles J. Brown first saw it, and 

 readily foreseeing what a good thing it 

 was immediately closed a contract with 

 the originators, Messrs. Levavasseur & 

 Sons, for the control of it in the 

 United States until the fall of 1906. 



CUTTING PEONIES. 



Although too late to be of service for 

 this season it is worth while recording 

 here that in cutting peonies one should 

 invariably leave one or more leaves on 

 the stalk. If cut below the last leaf 

 it usually prevents that eye from mul- 

 tiplying for the next season, and if 

 the practice is continued it is likely 

 to kill the plant in from four to five 

 years. This statement is suggested by 

 the fact that a nurseryman who three 

 years ago sold a lot of Festiva maxima 

 and other good sorts to a cut flower 

 grower who is now clearing his land, 

 bargained to take them back at the 

 price received for the small plants, but 

 refused when he went to see them 

 blooming last month and found how 

 they had been cut. He said they were 

 one-third weaker than when he sold 

 them. 



SEQUOIA SEEDLINGS. 



Contrary to prevalent belief, the fa- 

 mous "big trees" of California do re- 

 produce themselves under certain favor- 

 able conditions. The trees seed freely, 

 but the seed rarely germinate except 

 when they fall where the ground has re- 

 cently been burned over. Once started 

 the young growth only needs a moderate 

 amount of light and protection from 

 fire and stock grazing. With some care 

 this race of forest monarchs need not 

 become extinct, but may be greatly mul- 

 tiplied. The number of mature trees 

 is not great, and healthy young growth 

 is rare, but in some situations there are 

 plenty of seedlings. In order to es- 

 tablish these trees more widely, it is 

 proposed to move some of the seedlings 

 to localities where they will be apt 

 to grow.

Queen Beatrice 



The first extensive transplanting of the 

 "big trees" has recently been finished 

 in the General Grant national park, Cal- 

 ifornia. In the spring of 1904 it was 

 noticed that a large number of tiny 

 sequoias sprang up where debris had 

 been burned. Advantage was taken of 

 the opportunity to place the seedlings 

 which appeared where they would have 

 opportunity to develop. Those in charge 

 have thus far transplanted about 1,400 

 and those set last year have nearly all 

 grown. 



The Southern Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion is holding its annual convention this 

 week, August 16 and 17, at Norfolk, Va.
