 ter. The 31st annual convention wUl be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



F. T, Haseltine, Crookstoii, Minn., is 

 closing out his nursery business. 



It is a gratifying sij^n of tlie times 

 that the demand for nursery stock is 

 steadily turning from price to quality. 



TnK Society for Horticultural Science 

 is in session at New Orleans this week. 

 Many nurserymen and plant breeders 

 are in attendance. 



W. F. Heikes sent out a call for the 

 annual meeting of the Alabama State 

 Horticultural Society, of which he is 

 president, at Thosby, Ala., .lanuarv 30 

 and 31. 



J. L. Rreese, Fayetteville, X. C, i.s 

 meeting with con.siderable success in 

 l)reeding new varieties of persimmon, 

 stock of two varieties having already 

 been put on the market. 



A. F. Miller, of Sellwood, Ore., re- 

 ports a recent shipment to Austria of 750 

 pounds of seeds of native conifers. He 

 says the demand for seeds exceeds the 

 amount he is able to supply, especially 

 for the Oregon fir. 



The Western Association of Nursery- 

 men was in session at Kansas City De- 

 comber 20 and 21, discussing trade con- 

 ditions in its field. It was voted to hold 

 the regular summer meeting at Kansas 

 City June 7 and go in a body by special 

 car to the Dallas, Tex., meeting of the 

 American Association of Nurservmen. 



CANADIAN APPLES. 



The Eoyal Horticultural Society of 

 Great Britain recently held an exhibition 

 wholly made up of colonial fruit, the 

 feature of which was a magnificent dis- 

 play of apples from British Columbia, 

 which is thus described by the Horticul- 

 tural Advertiser: "Connoisseurs are 

 agreed that for real flavor nothing can 

 beat a good British apple, but as regards 

 appearances there can be no disputing 

 the fact that we take a back seat. The 

 color of the apples shown was absolutely 

 gorgeous; a painter could not have col- 

 ored anything more rich and brilliant 

 than many of the fruits, and this does 

 not apply to a few selected dishes, as a 

 considerable part of the exhibit consisted 

 of boxes with the lids removed to show 

 the fruit inside, which was all of similar 

 quality to the samples set up in plates. 

 We may add that, owing to the wreck 

 of the vessel carrying this consignment, 

 the fruit had been under water several 

 days, without, however, having appar- 

 ently suffered from the accident. We 

 give the names of a few of the most 

 prominent varieties: Ben Davis, Wage- 

 ner. Northern Spy, Jonathan, ^^i^sopus 

 Spitzenberg (gorgeous), Akin Bed, Can- 

 ada Baldwin, Salome, and King of Tom- 

 kins County (magnificent). All these 

 were remarkable for high color, the most 

 conspicuous of the green varieties being 

 Fall Pippin and Grimes* Golden, the last 

 of fine quality. 



* * The apples from Nova Scotia, though 

 excellent samples, wore not equal in size 



and color to the British Columbian prod- 

 uce, the most noteworthy being some 

 boxes of Blenheim Orange, almost un- 

 recognizable from their brilliant color- 

 ing. Both the above colonies have made 

 a distinct step in advance by packing 

 all fruit in boxes instead of barrels. 

 These are much more convenient to han- 

 <lle, and, what is of great importance, 

 there is no waste space in car or ship, 

 as they fit closely together. The sides are 

 made in two pieces with a space between 

 of about an inch to insure ventilation. 

 All packers use the same size box, of 

 Avhich 500 form a car-load, which can 

 he sent anywhere by rail without tran- 

 sliijtping. ' '
