sion and the work was pushed to a suc- 

 cessful condusion. Mr. Albertson and 

 Mr. Eeed of the transportation commit- 

 tee have devoted a large part of their 

 time to the affairs of the association 

 ^nd have gained for the trade benefits 

 which will be of money value to every 

 shipper. It is estimated that the saving 

 in freight their efforts have produced 

 will amount to not less than $50,000 a 

 year to the trade and probably to much 

 more, as a number of nurserymen are 

 able to figure savings of from $1,000 to 

 $5,000 each. 



Now that this work is well out of the 

 way, Mr. Albertson's energies are trans- 

 ferred to the forthcoming convention at 

 Dallas. He proposed to make it the best 

 convention the society has ever held. The 

 date is June 13. 



FUMIGATING NURSER STOCK. 



Quite elaborate experiments were car- 

 ried out at the New York Experiment 

 Station, to gain information on the effect 

 of hydrocyanic acid gas on fruit buds. In 

 these experiments from 0.18 to 0.3 gram 

 of cyanide was used per cubic foot of 

 space on apple buds. Of the treated 

 buds 80.6 per cent lived, while 84.3 per 

 cent of the untreated buds set success- 

 fully. Similar experiments with cherry, 

 pear, peach, and plum buds indicated a 

 slight advantage in every case in favor 

 of the untreated buds. The difference, 

 however, except in the case of peach 

 buds, was not great enough to indicate 

 any decided injury from the gas. In the 

 case of peaches the use of 0.22 gram of 

 of peaches the use of 0.22 gram of 

 cyanide per cubic foot of space during 

 the fumigation period of one hour did 

 no harm whatever; in fact the per- 

 centage of treated buds which lived was 

 greater than those of the checks. "When, 

 however, 0.3 gram of cyanide per cubic 

 foot was used there was considerable 

 injury, only seventy per cent of the 

 treated buds living, as against 82.8 per 

 cent of the checks. The growth of the 

 treated peach buds, however, was in 

 nearly every instance equal to that of 

 the untreated buds. 



During the past winter Burgess, in 

 Ohio, Symons, in Maryland, and Phil- 

 lips, in Virginia, undertook experiments 

 independently to determine the effect of 

 fumigation upon ordinary nursery stock. 

 The conclusions reached by these inves- 

 tigators were almost identical and the 

 principal conclusion was that fumigation 

 does not injure well-matured nursery 

 stock 



In Maryland, 3,000 nursery trees were 

 fumigated, one-half in the fall and one- 

 half in the spring. These trees were 

 apple and peach. The amount of cyanide 

 used varied from a quantity below the 

 normal to six times the amount usually 

 recommended for fumigating nursery 

 stock. In order to test the effect of time 

 of exposure, one-half of the trees was 

 fumigated for thirty minutes and the 

 other' for one hour. The results obtained 

 from these experiments indicate that no 

 injury was caused dormant apple and 

 peach nursery stock two years or more 

 of age even with a strength of gas and 

 period of exposure considerably greater 

 than that commonly prescribed by in- 

 spectors. These experiments were car- 

 ried on in fumigating houses at the 

 nurseries where the trees were dug. By 

 the use of excessive strengths of cyanide 

 it was shown that there is apparently 

 more danger of injury in fumigating in 

 the fall than in the spring. In the
