The Review would be glad to receive 

 from nurserymen photographs s^o-vin^ 

 any of the interesting features of their 

 establishments, or photographs of well- 

 grown specimen trees or shrubs. 



In 1905 the value of nursery stock 

 imported into the United States was, as 

 tabulated by the Department of Agri- 

 culture under the heading plants, trees, 

 shrubs and vines, $1,574,477 as against 

 $1,501,521 in 1904. 



Early reports of the damage to fruit 

 buds in western New York are now said 

 to have been exaggerated. The below 

 zero cold of early February, following 

 the 70-degree temperature of late Janu- 

 ary was naturally looked upon as threat- 

 ening the safety of the buds. 



Canada lias a fruit marks act and the 

 apple growers of western New York be- 

 lieve that export business would be much 

 aided were congress to enact similar leg- 

 islation for the United States, so that 

 buyers might know from the marks the 

 exact grade of the contents ot the pack- 

 age, r 



The diversity of state regulations as 

 to the interstate shipment of uitisory 

 stock is so great that an inspection law 

 expert is almost a necessity at a nursery 

 doing a large interstate business. The 

 etforts of the National Associatif.n of 

 Horticultural Inspectors looking to more 

 uniform regulations have the hearty sym- 

 pathy of everyone in the trade. 



The increased interest in trees led 

 many city officials to seek to make known 

 the names of trees growing in streets 

 and parks. The United States Forest 

 Service has devised plans by which its 

 co-operation may be secured in correctly 

 identifying the public trees of any com- 

 munity which may care to call upon it. 

 There are two ways in which assistance 

 may be given. Where the work is on a 

 large scale a representative of the ser- 

 vice will visit the town and identify the 

 tree by examination on the spot. In most 

 cases, however, identification by corre- 

 spondence will prove entirely adequate. 

 This will require merely that specimens 

 be sent to the forest service. 



Some of the eastern landscape archi- 

 tects, whose business is now so great as 

 to go beyond the possibilities of personal 

 attention, have solicitors in the Mis- 

 sissippi valley this winter seeking orders 

 for plans. 



One of the Holland nurserymen en- 

 closes a card with the catalogues sent to 

 the American trade requesting a visit 

 and advising that at the railway station 

 will be found a cab to convey them free 

 of charge to the nurseries, an hour's 

 drive away. 



ALABAMA NURSERIES. 



W. r. Heikes, of the Huntsville 

 Wholesale Nurseries, is president of the 

 Alabama State Horticultural Society. At 

 its recent meeting he took occasion to 

 say a good word for the Alabama nur- 

 series, as follows: 



"It should not be overlooked that the 

 supply of trees needed for planting in 

 this state can be procured from nurser- 

 ies within its borders. The nurseries of 

 Madison county, Alabama, rank with 

 the best and largest in this country and 

 it is probable that more trees are grown 

 in this county than in any other in the 

 United States, not excepting Monroe 

 <',ounty. New York, of which Rochester 

 is the county seat. These nurseries, near 

 Huntsville, Alabama, ship hundreds of 

 car loads of trees annually, which are 

 distributed to all parts of the United 

 States. 



"The remarkable growth of this in- 

 dustry is largely due to the character 

 of the soil and climate, which are most 

 favorable to the production of vigorous. 



shapely, well-rooted trees and plants. 

 The marked increase in the number of 

 nurseries throughout the state within 

 the past few years is evidence of the rap- 

 idly growing demand for trees and 

 plants, and that the nursery industry is 

 making notable progress, in keeping with 

 the trend of the times."
