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

 O. Searer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The Slat annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



CabK' Sondereogeb, the Nebraska nur- 

 seryman, has returned with his fftmilj 

 from a summer's visit at his old home in 

 Switzerland. 



Cherry prices will hold, apparently, 

 as long as do rates on any other item. 

 Stocks do not increase as rapidly as 

 might be expected. 



"Get all the roots." That is the ad- 

 monition kept constantly before the em- 

 ployees in a certain western nursery. It 

 is worth drilling in. 



J. M. LiNDSAY, Turtle Greek Nursery, 

 near Austin, Minn., is building up a 

 very nice local business through guaran- 

 teeing his stock and replacing any plant 

 that dies or proves not true to name. 



The Clinton Falls Nursery Co., Owa- 

 tonna, Minn., is hastening the comple- 

 tion of a second big storage and padang 

 house. The fall shipments will be much 

 the heaviest on record. The packing 

 houses have been wired for electric light 

 so that overtime may be worked. 



The weather is altogether too sum- 

 mery to suit the nurserymen in many dis- 

 tricts. With summer heat and frequent 

 rains the stock has not yet 'flopped grow- 

 ing and the fear is expressed ^at winter 

 w^ descend so quickly that the usual 

 amount of work cannot be accomplished.

WINTER KILLING OF TREES. 



There is a marked contrast in the 

 extent of the winter injury on bare 

 soils — soils given clean cultivation — 

 and on covered soils. The bare soils 

 freeze deeper and the injury is much 

 greater than on soils covered with a 

 mulch or other material. The greater 

 depth to which bare soils freeze in 

 winter than covered soils was brought 

 out in an experiment made at the Ohio 

 State Experiment Station. A plat of 

 peaches in an exposed situation was 

 selected and a strip of sod ten to twelve 

 feet wide removed from one row, leav- 

 ing the bare surface of the soil fully 

 exposed to the cold. Another row 

 alongside was left in grass which had 

 been clipped and allowed to lie upon 

 the ground. Where the sod was re- 

 moved the ground froze to a depth of 

 eighteen inches, while under the thin 

 sod covering of grass and weeds in the 

 other row the ground froze to a depth 

 of about eight inches. The trees in the 

 bare ground "were very slow in start- 

 ing into growth the following spring of 

 1904. All of the trees in this row were

seriously injured by the cold, many 

 large branches dying, while in one case 

 the entire tree was so badly injured 

 that but few leaves appeared through- 

 out the season, and these upon shoots so 

 feeble and slender that the tree might 

 well be considered dead. Later in the 

 season, however, some of the trees ral- 

 lied slightly, though all showed a seri- 

 ous lack of vitality. The trees in the 

 sod did not suffer in the least degree — 

 all making a healthy, uniform growth
