NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., E. AlbertBon, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce- 

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

 0. Sealer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The 31st annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



C. A. BUTTERFIELD, of Farmingtoii and 

 Lees Summit, Mo., is contemplating es- 

 tablishing another nursery, probably at 

 Dallas, Tex. 



Max C. Meyer, of the Phoenix 

 Nursery Co., Delavan, Wis., an-1 Mrs. 

 Stella A. Ellis, of Barker, N. Y., were 

 married January 31. 



E. W. KiRKPATRiCK, of McKinney, 

 Tex., was elected president of the Na- 

 tional Nut Growers' Association at the 

 recent convention. 



Conrad Appel reports a very limited 

 crop of German forest tree seeds. The 

 varieties of pinus, except strobus, will 

 meet all requirements. 



To the list of shrubs which have been 

 produced so largely that prices are bor- 

 dering on demoralization, including only 

 the commoner sorts, must be added in 

 nearly every instance the California 

 privet, which, though planted in enor- 

 mous numbers is still pressing for a 

 market. 



The big western nurseries, many of 

 which have handled nothing but fruit 

 trees and which are famous for such 

 specialties as apple and plum seedlings, 

 are taking note of the rapidly increas- 

 ing demand for forest and ornamental 

 stock and are preparing to offer seed- 

 lings and cuttings in quantities. 



The nurserymen of Pennsylvania had 

 a delegation at the statehouse at Harris- 

 burg February 6 to discuss the regula- 

 tions covering the re-inspection of all 

 nurseries in the state. The conference 

 resulted in a better understanding be- 

 tween Inspector Engle and the members 

 of the State Nurserymen's Association. 



The National Association of Nursery- 

 men is preparing a circular setting forth 

 the gain in the recent concessions as to 

 freight classification and urging the 

 good work done in this particular as a 

 reason why every nurseryman should sup- 

 port the association by maintaining a 

 membership and attending the conven- 

 tions. 



At Des Moines, la., W. M. Memenga 

 and others are endeavoring to evade the 

 payment of notes given to B. F. Bone- 

 well & Co., nursery agents. The notes 

 were signed in the form of contract 

 orders for the planting of orchards, with 

 the clause pledging the payment of sixty 

 per cent of the price in case or the non- 

 acceptance of the stock. 



Any nurseryman, especially if he deals 

 in evergreen and deciduous ornamental 

 stock, can spend a pleasant and profit- 

 able half hour with the 1906 catalogue 

 of the Wm. H. Moon Co., Morrisville, 

 Pa. It was a good book in 1905, but 

 is a much better one this year, entirely 

 reset, longer pages, new running head, 

 new halftones and many more of them, 

 mostly from special photographs. For 

 its size, eighty pages, it appears to be 

 the most costly nursery catalogue of the 

 year, and to one selling good stock to a 

 good class of people it looks to be worth 

 the money. 



Reports are now coming to hand of 

 damage done to fruit buds by frost 

 after the mild weather of January. 



The plant of apple grafts at E. S. 

 Welch's Mount Arbor Nurseries, Shenan- 

 doah, la., last spring amounted to over a 

 million and about the same num'ber of 

 store fruit stocks were set out. They are 

 going quite extensively into roses, ever- 

 greens and deciduous ornamentals. 



JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION. 



Warren H. Manning, of Boston, was 

 some time ago commissioned to prepare 

 the landscape plan for the Jamestown 

 exposition, which is to open at Norfolk, 

 Va., in April, 1907, to commemorate the 

 event of the first permanent English set- 

 tlement in America in 1607. Mr. Man- 

 ning has recently been appointed chief 

 of the Department of Education and So- 

 cial Economy, and sends out a circular 

 to horticulturists and dealers in horticul- 

 tural supplies, of which the following is 

 a part: 



* ' Eecognizing the importance of the 

 horticultural interest, a place is offered 

 for growing exhibits in the three plant- 

 ing spaces between the two roads and 

 the two walks of the great main avenue 

 of the exposition. These planting spaces 

 are divided into units of 1,000 square feet 



each, which may be subdivided. Ground 

 is thoroughly prepared and well fertil- 

 ized. The Exposition Company will ar- 

 range with a competent gardener to be 

 responsible for the care of the plants 

 during the exposition period. A charge 

 will be made for exhibition space prob- 

 ably not less than 5 cents or more than 

 10 cents per square foot. 



' ' Early decisions are necessary, espec- 

 ially when hardy plants are concerned, as 

 a year's growth before the opening of 

 the exposition is essential to make a 

 creditable display and such planting 

 ought to be in place before April 1. 



' * Applications for growing exhibits 

 should be filled out and returned imme- 

 diately, as this space will be assigned 

 on February 20. You can, of course, 

 withdraw at any time before the con- 

 tract approved by both parties is ac- 

 cepted. ' ' 



Your paper is good company. — United 

 States Nursery Co., Rich, Miss. 



Taking into consideration the general 

 information the Review gives and the 

 usual reliability of the advertisements 

 it prints, I consider it would be poor 

 business policy to do without it when it 

 can be had for the small sum of $1 a 

 year. — W. G. Negle, Beaumont, Tex.
