Hk who has not trie(l the new wliite 

 rose, I "ran Karl Druschki. need not laek 

 for op|)ortnnity. It is ineluded in the 

 novelty list in prat-tieally every spring 

 catalof>ue. 



Skcuktauv Fuedp;i!Ic ("kanekikld, of 

 the Wisconsin State Horticultural So- 

 ciety, his issued a hulletin, .\o. S, which 

 tells how to prune fruit tre<'s and propa- 

 gate l<v grafting. 



The nurseries about West Chester, 

 Pa., have been holding forces of diggers 

 for some weeks, awaiting Aveather which 

 would ])erniit getting out stock for 

 spring shipment. Uj) to March L'S noth- 

 ing could be done. 



Oklaxdo Hakkksox, Berlin, Md., who 

 is a member of the state legislature, jiro- 

 poses a law to c();npel railroads to pay 

 for each day's delay when they do not 

 furnisli cars j)roniptly, just as nursery- 

 men are nupiired to }>ay demurrage for 

 not utdoading. 



'I HE Ciranil Kapids \urs»'ry Co., CJrand 

 Ha)>ids. Mich., has purchased and taken 

 possession of the Kent County ('ommer- 

 eial Xiirseries located near Lowell. They 

 will i)e '-onducted under their present 

 name, but will be nnder the management 

 of the (irand Rapids Nursery Co. 's local 

 ottice. 



M()i;e and more are the iiig wholesale 

 nurseries, Avhich have grown great on the 

 jiroduction of fruit trees, turning their 

 attention to shrubs and ornamental trees. 

 p]specially in the middle west is the de- 

 mand for this class of stock becoming a 

 strong factor in the business of the firms 

 with the long lists of agents. 



A sTKiKiN(i novelty in decorative trees 

 is Prunns Pi.ssardi Moseri tlore pleno. 

 Besides its foliage being of the bright 

 ]uirple color ])eculiar to that of the 

 ty])ical jdant. the newcomer is rendered 

 still more ornamental by the very pleas- 

 ing jiink color of its tlowers, which are 

 <loul)le and a little larger than those of 

 P. Pissardi, somewhat resembling those 

 of P. triloba. Jt was raised by Moser 

 &, Son, of Versailles, France, who state 

 that the results from the trials made 

 show that it will be a valuable addition 

 to the list of plants useful for forcing 

 and decoration. 



The fruit growers and nursQrymeu 

 alike are still "roasting" the sieedless 

 apple. 



PitANK K. (Jkaham, a former nursery- 

 man at Boone, Ja., died at Indianola 

 March lU. 



The Japanese maples are being large- 

 ly used by a luunber of the leading land- 

 scape architects. They have a Avide sale 

 as single specimens for lawn planting. 



The Indiana llorticidtural Society 

 suggi'sts a j)rize of .$1,(J00 for a new 

 apple ''as good as Grimes' Golden and 

 as ])rolific as Ben Davis! " He who fur- 

 nishes such an apple will be well en- 

 titled to the money. 



With mechanical tree diggers, me- 

 chanical balers .and mechanical grafters 

 th( nursery business would be in danger 

 of bcco iiiiijr a nuH'hanical occupation 

 were it not for the individuality retained 

 by the state inspection laws regulating 

 the sliijinient of nursery stock. 



(iiFKOKi) Pixchot, U. S. Forester, is 

 one of J^resident Koosevelt 's most fre- 

 (juent callers; in fact, he drops in when- 

 e\er he passes that Avay. A press dis- 

 patch alleges that the doorkeei)ers at 

 the White Hou.se kept cases on the tree 

 planter and report him as having visited 

 the president seventy-three times in one 

 month. 



Dexvei;, CoU). — An opinion announced 

 by Attorney General \. C. Miller in sub- 

 stance says that owners of trees must 

 kill insects attacking them. The opinion 

 states that ins])ectors have full poAver 

 under the laAv to <*o;npel owners of or- 

 chards, nurseries or trees infected with 

 pests or diseases injurious to horticul- 

 tural interests to take such measures 

 as Avill remedy these conditions, either 

 by spraying or other remedial agencies.
