NURSERY NEWS. 



AMERICAN ASSOQATION OF NURSERYMEN. 



Pres., B. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind.; Vlce- 

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

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

 ter. The 31st annual convention will be held at 

 Dallas, Texas, June 13-15, 1906. 



The imports of trees and plants 

 through the port of Ncav York last week 

 were valued at $19,321. 



The season is over in the southwest 

 and nurserymen are preparing for fall 

 and the spring of 1907 with much larger 

 acreages than usual. 



In the Boston district the Bay State 

 Nurseries, Blue Hill Nurseries, J. W. 

 Manning and other local nurserymen are 

 experiencing the most remarkable call 

 for trees and shrubs in their history. 

 The call for evergreens is unprecedented. 



The Texas Spencer Seedless Apple 

 Co., of El Paso, was incorporated May 1 

 with authorized capital stock of $100,- 

 000; purpose, to grow, propagate and 

 sell Spencer seedless apples. The incor- 

 porators are Albert Jeffries, John W. 

 Fisher, Oliver M. Fairchild and Samuel 

 H. Fairchild. 



A DEAL was closed at Davenport, la., 

 April 30, whereby the old Nichols & Lor- 

 ton nursery, probably the oldest in Scott 

 county, was sold to Harry Bryant and 

 Adolph Arp, and the farm whereon it is 

 located leased to Messrs. Bryant and 

 Arp for fifteen years. Mr. Arp is super- 

 intendent of the Davenport park system. 



P. M. KosTER, of Koster & Co., Bos- 

 koop, Holland, has been in Chicago sev- 

 eral days the past week. He reports 

 good business, in fact among the best 

 he has ever enjoyed. When Mr. Koster 

 began his annual trips to America there 

 were only two others coming, but this 

 year there were fifteen nurserymen from 

 Boskoop alone. 



Death was the alternative for Charles 

 S. Greening, president of the Greening 

 Bros. Nursery Co., Monroe, Mich., if he 

 did not deposit $1,000 in a certain hid- 

 ing place for plotters who wrote him the 

 threatening letters. Twice Mr. Green- 

 ing notified the oflScers of the game and 

 went through all the maneuvers laid 

 down by the blackmailers, but both times 

 the fellows slipped away unseen. 



L. A. Goodman, president of the 

 American Pomological Society and secre- 

 tary of the Missouri State Horticultural 

 Society, asserts that the survival of 

 twenty per cent of the peach buds is 

 sufficient for a full crop of peaches, and 

 says that in all parts of Missouri a 

 greater proportion of buds escaped the 

 rigors of winter, the damage being 

 greatest in the southwestern part of the 

 state. 



THE DALLAS MEETING. 



Further addresses have been arranged 

 on part of the meeting of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen at Dallas, 

 Texas, June 13 to 15, as follows: 



"A Uniform Standard of Grading 

 Nursery Stock, and Its Adoption," by 

 C. J. Brown, Kochester, N. Y. ; "Orna- 

 mentals, Their Increasing Importance, 

 Propagation, etc.," by J. Wilkinson El- 

 liott, Pittsburg; "Commercial Fertiliz- 

 ers for Trees," by W. F. Heikes, Hunts- 



ville, Ala. ; ' ' Storing Nursery Stock, 

 Dampness, Temperature, Packing, etc.," 

 by Wm. Pitkin, Eochester. 



A fruit banquet, similar to the one so 

 successful last year, is i)lanned. 



TENNESSEE NURSERYMEN MEET 



The Tennessee State Nurserymen's 

 Association was organized at Nashville 

 May 2. Three sessions of the members, 

 who numbered about fifty, were held. It 

 was made one of the by-laws that the 

 annual convention be held in Nashville 

 each year on the day following the con- 

 vention of the State Horticultural So- 

 ciety. Leading nurserymen were elected 

 officers, as follows: J. C. Hale, of Win- 

 chester, president; Thomas Brazelton, of 

 Winchester, vice-presideiit ; A. J. Smith, 

 of Knoxville; Sam Byrns, of Silvia, and 

 H. L. Nicholson, of Winchester, vice- 

 presidents for east, west and middle 

 Tennessee, respectively, and J. M. Bent- 

 ley, of Knoxville, secretary and treas- 

 urer. 



The grading of nursery stock was the 

 principal subject discussed at the first 

 session, several addresses being made, 

 with a general discussion following. W. 

 F. Heikes, of Huntsville, Ala., was pres- 

 ent and participated. Other addresses 

 were : ' ' Tennessee Nursery Interests, ' ' 

 by J. C. Hale, of Winchester ; ' * Needs of 

 Tennessee Nurseries," by Sam Fowler, 

 of Clinton, and by Thomas Brazelton, 

 of Winchester, and ' * History of the Nur- 

 sery Business in Tennessee," by John 

 Shadow, of Winchester. 



The principal feature of the after- 

 noon session was the address of Prof. H. 



A. Morgan, of the State University, on 

 the injury of fruits by insects, illus- 

 trated with stereopticon views. 



Another important feature was a gen- 

 eral discussion as to the grafting of fruit 

 trees by the whole root and half root 

 processes. The ubiquitous agent also came 

 in for discussion, along with the other 

 troubles. 



* ' Our Relation to the National Nur- 

 serymen 's Association" was the subject 

 of an address by A. I. Smith, of Knox- 

 ville; G. M. Bentley, of Knoxville, spoke 

 of "Nursery Inspection in Tennessee." 

 The session was concluded with an ad- 

 dress by James Morton, of Clarksville, 

 on the subject, "Greenhouse Interests." 



MISTAKEN IDENTITY. 



In the case of D. T. McCarthy & Sons 

 against the H. S. Taylor Nursery Co., 

 of Eochester, Justice Lambert, at Lock- 

 port, N. Y., directed a verdict for the 

 defendant. This is one of the peculiar 

 cases arising under our incorporation 

 law. Two Taylor brothers had for years 

 conducted a nursery near Eochester un- 

 der the name of H. S. Taylor & Co. In 

 1893 they, with one J. Frank Norris, 

 organized a corporation by name the 

 H. S. Taylor Nursery Co. It was un- 

 disputed that one of the Taylors came 

 to the plaintiffs and bought trees. Fail- 

 ing to get their pay they sued the cor- 

 poration, and it defended on the ground 

 that the sale was made to the Taylor 

 brothers as a firm and not to the incor- 

 porated company. The court upheld the 

 contention that the action had been 

 brought against the wrong concern.
