 The 32d annual convention will be lield at De- 

 troit, Mich., June, 1907. 



Eecknt rains have done much to im- 

 prove the condition of stock in western 

 nurseries. 



Prof. Gordon Bentley has been ap- 

 pointed horticultural inspector for the 

 state of Tennessee. 



The new water tower of the Elm City 

 Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn., was 

 badly damaged by lightning July 3. 



T. S. Hubbard, founder of the T. S. 

 Hubbard Co., Fredonia, N. Y., died at 

 his home at Geneva, N. Y., July 5, aged 

 63 years. 



An account of the meeting of the 

 Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen 

 at Tacoma, July 11 to 13, will be found 

 on page 546 of this issue. 



Dry weather in the western apple- 

 seedling district is reported to threaten 

 the quantity and quality of the supply 

 of stocks. Prices are advancing. 



W. & T. Smith Co., Geneva, N. Y., 

 state that reports as to the damage to 

 stock at their nursery, as a result of the 

 hail of June 10, were much exaggerated. 

 Only a few blocks of stock will have to 

 be cut down. 



Emery Albertson, as traffic manager 

 for the American Association of 

 Nurserymen, chairman of its executive 

 committee and its transportation com- 

 mittee, should be in his element for the 

 next eleven months. 



The Georgia peach crop is moving 

 and gives good satisfaction. With few 

 exceptions the crop is as large as the 

 trees could carry for best results, and 

 quality is excellent, which insures satis- 

 factory prices. 



The Bulletin of the American Asso- 

 ciation of Park Superintendents for 

 June makes its appearance in neat 

 pamphlet form. The first of the new 

 series is devoted to the discussion of 

 "Floral Decorations in Parks and City 

 or Village Squares. ' ' 



If there is any one thing more than 

 another which will facilitate interstate 

 nur.sery business it is the establishing 

 of some sort of uniformity in state in- 

 spection laws and their application. The 

 adoption of a uniform tag for interstate 

 shipments will be a long step. 



Clinton Fall.s, Minn.— The second 

 annual picnic of the employees of the 

 Clinton Falls Nursery Co. took place 

 July 9, at Mineral Springs park. There 

 were 134 in the picnic crowd, including 

 the employees and their families, and the 

 <lay was pleasantly spent in sports of 

 various kinds. 



Dropping the word "wholesale" from 

 the title of the Western Association of 

 Nurserymen, and the changes in policy 

 which it implied, have had the desired re- 

 sult of adding considerably to the mem- 

 bership, and a further accretion is ex- 

 pected at the annual meeting at Kansas 

 Citv in December. 



The Prudential Nursery Co., 0. A. 

 Krill, treasurer and manager, is a not 

 widely known but growing concern at 

 Kalamazoo, Mich. 



The season has been a dry one in the 

 western New York district, especially 

 early, but stock is making fair growth, 

 although transplanted stock made a late 

 start. 



PEONY LADY DUFF. 



In reply to the note of E. J. Shaylor 

 in the Keview of June 21, the peony 



Lady Alexandra Duflf, which is, as your 

 readers are aware, one of the very finest 

 peonies that has ever been sent out, was 

 raised, and at the time of writing can be 

 seen flowering in our nurseries, at Lang- 

 port, Somerset, England. If any plants 

 which have been received on your side 

 have not, as your correspondent says, 

 been true to name, it has, of course, been 

 due to a mistake; and in any case where 

 it is shown that the mistake has occurred 

 with us, it is one which we should regret 

 and shall be happy to put right.
