Imjtely Lardy throughout the United 

 states and Canada. The mountain 

 f«ather fleece is of easy cultivation, 

 amid i± givdn plenty of food, makes a 

 wondexful show, equaled by few plants 

 otf any description." 



Cedar Kapids, Iowa. — Anamosa and 

 Tapton. are both endeavoring to secure 

 the Graham Nursery. Tipton has made 

 arm offer of $2,000, and Anamosa has in- 

 creased that bid $500. 



The railroads are assisting the nur- 

 scK-y agents in the development of the 

 Osark fruit regiou. The 1906 peach 

 crop, i f profitable prices are realized, 

 will give tlie work an appreciable boost. 



Tor the Dallas meeting of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen a round- 

 trij) rate of $15 from St. Louis has been 

 see ured, and it is proposed to consoli- 

 dat^e as many parties as possible and 

 tra"vel by special train. 



The Fred Wellhouse nursery, near 

 Leavenworth, Kan., lost twenty acres of 

 you ng stock April 2, through a fire which 

 swept oA'cr several square miles in that 

 locality and also did much damage to 

 the TVellhouse orchards. 



The demand for conifers is larger 

 this season than in any other spring. 

 Since it has been learned that these 

 trees may be moved with safety, the pub- 

 lic is asking for the better kinds in con- 

 8tani;ly increasing numbers. The lead- 

 ing nurseries now grow seedling coni- 

 fers by t;he million. 



MAKING BORDEAUX MIXTURE. 



Wliere only a small quantity of Bor- 

 deaux mixture is required — from a 

 bucketful to a barrel — a method de- 

 Scribed by B. T. Galloway gives excel- 

 lent K"esult;s. The formula is four pounds 

 bluestone, five poimds lime to fifty gal- 

 lons of -water. Two half-barrel tubs 

 are made by sawing a barrel through 

 the middle. One tub is used for the 

 bluestzoiie .solution and the other for the 

 milk of ILme, .and each tub should con- 

 tain t:wnty-three to twenty-five gallons. 

 One mfin dips the bluestone solution with 

 a bucket and pours it into a whole bar- 

 rel or other vessel, and another man 

 simult aneoTOsly dips up and pours in 

 buckeCfuls of the milk of lime. The 

 lime solution should be kept well stirred. 



In preparing very small quantities of 

 Bordeaux mixture, buckets or similar 

 vessels may be substituted for the half 

 barrel tubs. It is possible for a single 

 operator to dip a bucketful of the blue- 

 stone solution and then a bucketful of 

 milk c^f Urne and pour them together 

 into a vessel. It is usually preferable 

 to have a bucketful or so of water in the 

 recepta cle into which the solutions are 

 to be p ourec3, but this is not essential. 



The better and quicker way of mak- 

 ing up Bordeaux mixture by the barrel 

 consists in placing the two half-barrel 

 tubs ort an elevated platform and then, 

 by mea.ns of hose or spigots, allowing 

 the two solutions to flow together into 

 a barrel. 



No m.atter what quantity of mixture is 

 to be made "up, it is necessary to strain 

 the mafcerials through a wire strainer. 

 The beat tyT)e of strainer is made of 

 brass wire, "with eighteen or twenty 

 meshes -to the inch. If all the copper 

 solution is strained and then the milk of 

 lime is strained into the dilution vessel, 

 it will aiot "be necessary to strain the
