 Pres., Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Sec'y, Geo. 

 0. Sealer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Roches- 

 ter. The 3lBt annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June, 1906. 



Wm. Plumb has engaged in business 

 as landscape architect at New York 

 city. 



The park commissioner of Saginaw, 

 Mich., is planning to further beautify 

 the parks of that city by the addition of 

 tall spruce, cedars, etc. The work will 

 be done by I. E. Ilgenfritz Sons' Co., 

 Monroe, Mich. 



B. EuYS, Dedemsvaart, Holland, never 

 has sent an agent to the United States, 

 but says that the constantly increasing 

 demand in America is not to be ignored 

 by one who has stock to sell, and pro- 

 poses to make a trip to the principal 

 nurseries of this country in April and 

 May. 



Charles City, Ia.' — -The Sherman 

 Nursery Co. will make extensive im- 

 provements this summer. Additions to 

 the greenhouses as planned will amount 

 to 20,000 square feet. Adjoining the 

 new office building on the northwest a 

 packing and storehouse, 160x300 feet, 

 is to be built. This will be constructed 

 of stone from their own quarries and 

 enclosed on top with a gravel roof. The 

 company is installing a fifty drop sys- 

 tem of telephones, twenty of which are 

 now in operation. "When completed this 

 will connect all parts of the nursery 

 with the office. They will also put in 

 an electric bell system in all of the 

 buildings. 



The demand for peonies for spring 

 planting is fully up to expectations. 



The two-story frame office building 

 of the Green Nursery Co., Rochester, N. 

 Y., and its contents, were destroyed by 

 fire March 8. The fire started in the 

 basement and it is thought it was caused 

 by an explosion of gasoline. In the of- 

 fices on the first floor were orders for 

 the spring and summer trade amounting 

 to thousands of dollars. These were 

 burned and cannot be duplicated. The 

 money loss is estimated at $10,000. 



Guthrie, 0. T. — As a result of the 

 difficulties which R. M. "White, an Enid 

 nurseryman, has had with tihe territorial 

 board of agriculture regarding the issu- 

 ance to him of a permit to sell nursery 

 stock in the territory, the Santa Pe rail- 

 road has on its hands a car-load of nur- 

 sery stock, shipped to "White from the 

 "Watson nurseries at Topeka, Kan., now 

 on a Denver, Enid & Gulf siding, await- 

 ing final disposition. Charles H. Woods, 

 assistant solicitor of the Santa Fe, who 

 is representing the railroad in the mat- 

 ter, says that the Santa Fe will not 

 deliver the goods until they have been 

 carefully inspected, according to law, by 

 the entomologist of the A. and M. col- 

 lege. As the board of agriculture has 

 refused White a permit, it is not certain 

 that this inspection will be granted, and 

 there the matter stands.
