OLD FIRM SELLS. 



As reported briefly at the time the 

 deal was first considered, the well known 

 nursery of Nichols & Lorton, Davenport, 

 la., established in 1848, and the leading 

 and largest one in the state, has changed 

 hand,s, the new purchasers being Adolph 

 Arp, superintendent of parks for Daven- 

 port, and H. G. Bryant, an experienced 

 nurseryman. The business of Nicholas 

 & Lorton, which was established fifty- 

 eight years ago, is located on the Middle 

 road, a short distance east of the city 

 limits and is known as the Davenport 

 Nurseries. Mr. Arp has resigned his 



position as superintendent of parks, the 

 resignation to take effect August 1, after 

 which he will devote his entire time with 

 Mr. Bryant to the management of the 

 business. 



BUD AND SCION SUPPLY. 



In discussing "The Importance and 

 Best Methods of the Bud and Scion Sup- 

 ply in Propagating" at the Dallas con- 

 vention, C. C. Mayhew said in part: 



"Of the many important matters for 

 the consideration of every grower of 

 nursery stock, there is none of more vital 

 importance than his bud and scion sup- 

 ply. I know that every member of this 

 association wishes to produce his very 

 best; wishes to deliver to his customers 

 healthy, well-grown stock which is true 

 to name. To do this we can not be too 

 careful as to our buds and scions. 



' ' If we are absolutely certain that our 

 stock is exactly what we wish it, where 

 are our scions and buds to come from? 

 It is not practical to cut great quan- 

 tities of buds and grafts from fruiting 

 orchards for the reason that the buds are 

 inferior, expensive to cut and give poor 

 stands. In addition to this we are de- 

 cidedly more liable to spread disease 

 than where we cut from younger and 

 thriftier stock. It is not safe to cut 

 from the nursery row because every 

 handling adds risk and uncertainty that 

 we all dislike. I believe the most prac- 

 tical and profitable way for securing an 

 abundance of the very best buds and 

 spions is to grow trees strictly for the 

 buds and scions. 



"To do this in the safest and best 

 manner 1 suggest the following method, 

 taking the peach for example : 



' ' Procure the best seed that can be 

 found. Go over them carefully and
