AMERICAN ASSOOATION OF NURSLRYMEN. 



Pres., E. AlbertBon, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce- 

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

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

 ter. The 3l8t annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June 13-16, 1906. 



Planters of peach orchards show a 

 growing tendency toward the closer prun- 

 ing of the tops. 



"The Plum Curculio" is the title of 

 a bulletin of the Bureau of Entomology 

 of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, 

 which will interest the nursery trade. 



L. B. Spencer, C. E., has the contract 

 for platting the town of Croydon, Utah, 

 the name of which will be changed to 

 Portland. A model town will be built. 



The nurserymen throughout Minnesota 

 are possibly the busiest lot in the trade 

 at the present time. Their spring pack- 

 ing is now on. L. L. May & Co. have 

 about 150 men at their nurseries. 



D. G. WiEGAND Bruss, of the firm of 

 Van der Weijden & Co., Boskoop, Hol- 

 land, is in Chicago this week and re- 

 ports bookings of nursery stock heavier 

 than on any of his previous American 

 tours. 



Max C. Meyer has retired from the 

 Phoenix Nursery Co., Delavan, Wis., and 

 is succeeded by A. P. Wilkins as man- 

 ager, secretary and treasurer. H. C. 

 Johnson continues as president, while 

 Will Moore, who has been with the nur- 

 sery for over fifteen years, is now a 

 partner and will have supervision of the 

 stock and grounds. Mr. Wilkins was 

 proprietor prior to Meyer's connection 

 with the business. 



On April 13 E. W. Kirkpatrick and 

 C. C. Mayhew held a conference with 

 Col. John G. Hunter, secretary 'of the 

 Commercial Club of Dallas, Tex., with 

 reference to the accommodations for the 

 visitors to the convention of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, to be 

 held in Dallas in June. The committee 

 stated that it expects between 300 and 

 500 visitors from the northern and east- 

 ern states and a larger trade exhibition 

 than ever before. 



The records of the Department of 

 Agriculture show that the 1906 brood 

 of seventeen-year locust may be expected 

 to be especially numerous in central and 

 southeastern Pennsylvania, southern 

 Ohio, southern Indiana and Kentucky. 

 When it appears in large numbers it 

 naturally causes alarm, but the actual 

 damage is usually confined to newly 

 planted fruit trees, and a subsequent 

 hard pruning will often save these from 

 injury caused by the egg punctures. 



BEST APPLES FOR MISSOURI. 



Under date of April 10 L. A. Good- 

 man, secretary of the Missouri State 

 Horticultural Society, sent out the fol- 

 lowing : 



In some parts of the state we learn that 

 numbers of fruit tree agents are selling 

 whole root and budded apple trees for 

 35 cents each, claiming that root-grafted 

 trees are worthless. They are also sell- 

 ing what they claim are new varieties 

 and little known varieties of apple trees, | 



claiming that the old varieties are no 

 more good. 



We advise that you buy good No. 1 

 two-year-old apple trees, four to six 

 feet high, from your home nursery or 

 some nursery firm which you know is 

 responsible. You can buy such trees for 

 $5 or $6 per hundred. The best varieties 

 for our state are: 



Summer: Early Harvest, Red June, 

 Benoni, Early Pennock, Sops of Wine, 

 Duchess, Sweet Bough. 



Pall: Lowell, Maiden Blush, Jeffries, 

 Wealthy, Grime's Golden, Jonathan, 

 Broadwell Sweet. 



Winter: Gano, Ben Davis, Winesap, 

 Black Twig, York, Huntsman, White 

 Pippin, Ingram, Lradies' Sweet. 



The semi-annual meeting of the so- 

 ciety will be held at Moberly, June 12- 

 14, 1906.
