Arthur Bryant & Sox, Princeton, 111., 

 are building a frost-proof packing-house 

 42x120. 



The comparatively new strawberry, 

 Mead, is meeting with a very favorable 

 reception. 



The New England nurserymen have 

 had abundant rains and stock has made 

 rapid growth. 



The invoice value of the trees and 

 plants imported through the port of New 

 York last week was $14,157. 



There is promise of an especially in- 

 teresting session of the Southern Nur- 

 serymen's Association at Lookout Moun- 

 tain, Chattanooga, Tenn.. August 15 and 

 16. 



Nurserymen in Minnesota report col- 

 lections turning out nicely. This spring 

 has been particularly favorable for the 

 growing of nursery 'stock, as complaints 

 are few. 



Those Huntsville Avholesale nursery- 

 men are good fellows and good friends; 

 you can buy a little jag of stuflf from 

 each one and they will make up a car 

 between them. 



The twentieth annual convention of 

 the Association of American Cemetery 

 Superintendents is to be held at Detroit, 

 August 21 to 23, the same week the S. 

 A. F. is in session at Dayton. 



A GRE.\T many nurserymen make it a 

 practice never to sell a "peony until the 

 plant has flowered on their own grounds. 

 Sudi growers are seldom heard to com- 

 plain of mixtures, and one even goes so 

 far as to advertise that he will give 

 three plants for every one he sells that 

 proves not true to name. 



PACIFIC COAST NURSERYMEN. 



In addition to the papers mentioned in 

 last week's Review as read at the recent 

 Tacom.a meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Association of Nurserymen. S. A. Miller, 

 of Milton, Ore., spoke on "Requisites 

 for the Growth and Care of Nursery 

 Stock, True to Name." He was fol- 

 lowed by A. W. McDonald, of Toppenish, 

 AVash., who read a paper on "Notes 

 From the Last Year's Experience in the 

 Nursery." M. J. Henry, of Vancouver, 

 B. C, gave the members a few pointers 

 on "How to Sell Direct." A. Holaday, 

 of Scappoose, Ore., read a carefully pre- 

 pared paper on "The Selection and Care 

 of Scions." 



Among members present were: W. D. 

 Ingalls, North Yakima; F. K. Spalding, 

 Sunnyside; H. A. Lewis. Russellville,

DELPHINIUMS. 



My hybrid delphiniums and those of 

 many places near pie are badly affected 

 with some disease attacking both flow- 

 ers and foliage.'- The blooms are bull- 

 headed, bunching together and often 

 turning black. Sometimes this affects 

 only one part of the flower spike, the 

 remaining part be!ng almost normal. 

 The foliage becomes thickened, curled 

 and inclined to turn brown or black. 

 What causes it and what cures it? 



W. C. E. 



Bordeaux mixture one year, but it did 

 not seem to do any good; I think it was 

 not started early enough. I would ad- 

 vise replanting the clumps in fresh soil, 

 ^and think the disease will not reappear. 

 If this has been tried and has failed, 

 spraying with Bordeaux mixture once a 

 week after the middle of April will be 

 beneficial. The disease is a coomion 

 one; we do not know whether any of the 

 experiment stations have investigated it 

 or not. We have all seen it on clumps 

 which have not been transplanted for 

 several years; seedlings seem almost im- 

 mune from it. W. N. C. I 



The trouble with delphiniums is quite 

 general, jnore especially with the named 

 hybrid rorts which have been propagated 

 by root division. We have had seedlings 

 affected, but to a much less extent. The 

 cause of the disease we are unable to 

 more than guess at. The method of 

 propagation may be one cause; we have 

 found that a change of soil every third 

 year keeps the hybrids free from it. 

 In 1903 our plants were badly affected, 

 but on being replanted the fall of the 

 same year in a new location, where 

 delphiniums had not been grown before, 

 the trouble vanished and has not ap- 

 peared since. 



We tried persistent spraying with
