 The 82d annual convention will be held at De- 

 troit, Mich., June, 1907. 



The American Civic Association will 

 hold its annual meeting at Milwaukee, 

 Wis., the last week in October. 



D. Hill, of the Dundee Nurseries, 

 Dundee, 111., will at once proceed to put 

 up a new office building and large pack- 

 ing shed and a greenhouse for propa- 

 gating purposes. 



Saddler Bros., Bloomington, 111., own 

 a patented stock food and have estab- 

 lished a factory for its manufacture, 

 which they will conduct in conjunction 

 with their nursery business. 



J. H. Brown, of the Missoula Nursery 

 Co., Missoula, Mont., is preparing exhib- 

 its for the horticultural section of the 

 Western Montana fair, which is each 

 year growing in importance. 



The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111., 

 has been successful with its plan for 

 landscaping at the county courthouse of 

 DeKalb county, Sycamore, 111., and also 

 has secured the contract to do the work. 



C. D. Mills, Jacksonville, Fla., planted 

 fifty palmetto trees, each twenty feet 

 high, at Pablo Beach, Ga., last May and 

 all are thriving. He planted 131 at 

 Pensacola and thirty-eight at Mobile, 

 some of which were victims of the recent 

 severe storm. 



The growing of nut bearing trees for 

 profit is gaining ground and to southern 

 nurserymen nut trees are an important 

 item. The National Fruit Growers' As- 

 sociation, of which a nurseryman, E. W. 

 Kirkpatrick, is president, holds its an- 

 nual convention October 31 at Scranton, 

 Miss. 



The Department of Agriculture has 

 issued as Bulletin No. 264 "The Brown- 

 tail Moth and How to Control It," by 

 L. O. Howard. Dr. Howard says the 

 thing to do is to secure the active and 

 intelligent cooperation of property own- 

 ers "thruout" the infested district. 

 We read his account of the battle 

 against the pest to where, in 1899, the 

 early work "stopt, " and there we 

 stopped. 



Evidently Mexican nurserymen have 

 their own troubles, for we find the fol- 

 lowing as part of an advertisement in 

 the Herald, published in the city of 

 Mexico: "The Whitney nurseries at 

 Maltrata have been established for 

 nearly twenty years. The most expert 

 horticulturists have been constantly em- 

 ployed during that time in perfecting 

 the very best varieties of all kinds of 

 American trees and shrubs to the Mex- 

 ican climate. Complete stocks of thor- 

 oughly acclimated fruit trees are now 

 always on hand. These goods are care- 

 fully packed and also reach the cus- 

 tomer in a fraction of the time required 

 from American nurseries, and the mo- 

 ment they are in the ground they are 

 ready to go on growing under conditions 

 with which they are already accustomed. 

 Don 't overlook the importance of these 

 points and let us figure with you." 



The many nurserymen who had deal- 

 ings with Kudolph Ulrich during his 

 service as landscape gardener at the 

 Chicago, Trans-Mississippi and Pan- 

 American expositions will regret to hear 

 of his death, which occurred at Fresno, 

 Cal., October 15, where he engaged in 

 creating new pods. He was 65 years of 

 age.

PERENNIALS. ' 

 I have noticed in your valuable paper 

 an article on desirable hardy perennials, 

 such as Physostegia Virginiana, Bol- 

 tonia asteroides and B. latisquama, 

 Oimicifuga racemosa, C. simplex and C. 

 Japonica. I would like to have seeds of 

 those named, but as none of these seeds 

 is mentioned in any catalogue I have, I 

 do not know where to buy. I would be 

 pleased if you can tell me of any firm 

 where I can obtain seeds and the price.
