Prices on apple trees for delivery in 

 spring in a wholesale way are showing 

 a steadily hardening tendency. 



There is increasing interest in the 

 growing of chestnuts for commercial 

 purposes. Some of the new Japans are 

 very productive. 



The Western New York Horticultural 

 Society, of which Wm. C. Barry is presi- 

 dent, is holding its fifty-first annual 

 meeting today at Bochester. 



The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111., 

 will enlarge its acreage and has author- 

 ized an increase in capital stock from 

 $5,000 to $25,000. A down-town office 

 will be opened in the Mercantile block. 

 The concern is > only two years old and 

 its business is much larger than was ex- 

 pected by the management. 



On January 34 fire destroyed a large 

 packing house and storage building be- 

 longing to Kelley Bros., Dansville, N, Y. 

 The building was full of stock, a part 

 the property of Kelley Bros., but most 

 of it belonging to Morey Bros., whose 

 loss was $5,000. The loss on the build- 

 ing was $1,500. Both parties were in- 

 sufficiently insured. 



The Wisconsin State Horticultural 

 Society, through the secretary, Frederic 

 Cranefield, of Madison, has issued a bul- 

 letin of advice to farmers on the pur- 

 chase and planting of nursery stock. 

 It is advised to buy stock held in storage 

 over winter, shipped early, planting 

 quickly; better results are said to be 

 thus obtained than by fall planting. 



The Minnesota State Horticultural 

 Society, in its efforts to encourage the 

 raising of apple seedlings, has decided 

 to offer a premium of $100 each year 

 for five years, beginning in 1912, for 

 the best winter apple keeping until at 

 least March 1 under ordinary storage 

 conditions. Competition is open to con- 

 tiguous states. The seeds are to be 

 planted the coming spring. 



OKLAHOMA NURSERYMEN. 



The Oklahoma Association of Nursery- 

 men closed its session at Guthrie Janu- 

 ary 16 by the election of the following 

 officers : President, J. A. Lopeman, Enid ; 

 vice-president, J. W. Teterick, Blackwell ; 

 secretary and treasurer, C. E. Garee, 

 Noble; executive committee, C. E. Garee, 

 J. W. Teterick, J. T. Pierce, J. B. Tay- 

 lor and Mr. Collins. 



The meetings were held at the office 

 of W. N. Spurloch and were attended by 

 the representatives of some fifteen terri- 

 torial nursery firms. The program was 

 of an informal character, all tending to 

 strengthen the members along lines of 

 better nursery and commercial practice. 

 E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind., president 

 of the American Association, who is an 

 indefatigable traveler, one who does not 

 rest well elsewhere than in a berth in a 

 sleeper, was present and added much of 

 interest from ,the store of his wide ex- 

 perience. He said that the nurserymen 

 of the north and east are just beginning 



to appreciate the importance of the south- 

 west and there will be a large attend- 

 ance at the national society 's meeting in 

 Texas in June. Wm. Bernadine, of Par- 

 sous, Kan., and Mr. Cooper, of Winfleld, 

 Kan., were aiSo present. 



The next meeting will be held the first 

 Tuesday in July. 



RETAIL NURSERYMEN DINE. 



The National Association of Eetail 

 Nurserymen held its third annual dinner 

 at the Whist Club, Rochester, N. Y., 

 January 23. More than 100 were present 

 and Ihe affair was one of the most 

 pleasant in the history of social gath- 

 erings of the craft. Of course most of 

 those present were from the central New 

 York nursery region but a number came 

 considerable distances. J. M. Pitkin, o^ 

 the C. W. Stuart Co., Newark, was 

 toastmaster. The principal speaker was 

 Stanley Watson, the silver-tongued 

 orator from the Lone Star state, the 

 judge of human nature whose portrayal 

 of the charms of fried chicken and cer- 

 tain native beverages caused the Ameri- 

 can Association to vote to meet in Texas 

 next June. Other speakers were John 

 Craig, Judge J. D. Lynn and Eev. Mur- 

 ray Bartlett. 



SOUTHERN ASSOQATION. 



Paul Abele, Jas. Newshorn, Joseph 

 Stockier, C. W. Eichling and H. A. Des- 

 pommier, a committee of the New Or- 

 leans Horticultural Society, have sent 

 out the following: 



TO THE FLORISTS OF THE SOUTH: The 

 New Orleans Horticultural Society, having in 



view to promote the industry of horticulture Ut 

 the southern states, have proposed the organiza- 

 tion of an Inter-statc association, which would 

 naturally bring the horticulturists of the south 

 in touch with each other, and would concen- 

 trate more of our southern trade within oui' 

 midst than has been the case heretofore. Wt'- 

 have gone east for our wants, when perhaps, 

 had we l£nown of the stoclss of our brotlioi 

 florists In the neighboring states, we could have 

 found the goods nearer home. 



We thinly an inter-state association would be 

 the means of supplying Information by whicli 

 our trade that now goes east could be confined 

 among southern florists and nurserymen. 



We contemplate annual conventions, at which 

 papers on southern methods of horticulture are 

 to be read and discussed. Trade exhibits 

 should form an Interesting part of these con- 

 ventions and be the means of becoming per- 

 sonally acquainted with our brother florists or 

 the south. 



The success of this movement depends upon 

 your co-operation, and we should be pleased to 

 hear from you, giving us your opinion on the 

 subject. 



A CANNA DEAL. 



The Southern Floral Nursery Co., 

 Fruitdale, Ala., states that it has sold 

 a new canna, Queen of Beauty, to the 

 Frank Cummings Bulb & Plant Co., of 

 Meridian, Miss., for $1,000, which they 

 say is probably the highest price ever 

 paid for a canna. This new canna is one 

 of six seedlings from Chautauqua grown 

 in 1904 and is, they say, without a doubt, 

 the best scarlet canna in existence. Al- 

 though belonging to the Crozy class, its 

 flowers are nearly equal in size to those 

 of the orchid-flowering type and its tex- 

 ture is so much heavier that the flowers 

 last very much longer. This canna will 

 be placed on the market at once by the 

 Frank Cummings Bulb & Plant Co., to- 

 gether with twelve other new varieties 

 procured from the Southern Floral Nurs- 

 ery Co.
