NURSERY NEWS. 



AHEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTHEN. 



Pres.. Orlando Harrison, Berlin, Md.; Vlce- 

 Pres., J. W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Sec'y, Geo. C. 

 Seacer, Rochester; Treaa. C. L. Yates, Rochester. 

 The 82d annual convention will be held at De- 

 troit, Mich., June, 1»07. 



Evergreens are steadily gaining in 

 favor. 



Nurserymen will be interested in 

 the notes on the demand for nursery 

 stock on the Pacific coast, to be found 

 on another page of this issue. 



The movers of big trees are having 

 plenty of work this winter and are 

 getting good prices, more in keeping 

 with the facilities required for this line 

 of business. 



The Western Association of Nursery- 

 men hopes to do something toward se- 

 curing the adoption of some standard 

 grades for nursery stock. A. L. Brooke, 

 of Topeka, is chairman of a committee to 

 make recommendations. 



The program and arrangement com- 

 mittees already are at work on plans 

 for the Detroit convention of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Nurserymen. A good 

 attendance is assured and interest will 

 not be permitted to flag. 



If there is an agricultural publication 

 which is not publishing a ' * spraying num- 

 ber ' ' in February it should overcome its 

 modesty and do something to attract our 

 attention. But the more spraying the 

 better for the nurserymen. 



J. Horace McFarland says this will 

 be a lively year in the nursery trade, one 

 in which the careless and slipshod man 

 will come nearer making a living and in 

 which the good, lively hustler, who grows 

 good stock and offers it honestly and at- 

 tractively, will make a good profit. 



Congressman N. W. Hale, of Knox- 

 ville, Tenn., is a member of the legis- 

 lative committee of the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen. He says he sees 

 no prospect of securing at this session 

 of Congress a moment for the consider- 

 ation of a national law for the inspec- 

 tion of nursery stock. 



As an example of what happens when 

 a man does a good job it is worth record- 

 ing that a certain nurseryman land- 

 scapist received a commission from one 

 of a colony of well-to-do suburbanites. 

 The work fitted the situation so well 

 that nine of the neighbors had work done 

 last fall and the remainder are indicat- 

 ing a desire to flbt up their surroundings 

 in the spring. 



INSPECTION IN UTAH. 



John P. Sorensen, horticultural in- 

 spector for Salt Lake county, Utah, in- 

 spected in 1906 seven carloads and sixty 

 parcels of trees from outside the state, 

 and fumigated most of them. He also 

 inspected and fumigated the stock grown 

 by home nurseries as required by law, 

 eight carloads and 160 boxes and bundles 

 of which have been shipped out of the 

 county and three-fourths of them out of 

 the state. Two thousand of imported 

 trees were condemned and burned in one 

 lot. 



"Five hundred thousand trees were 

 budded this summer in Salt Lake coun- 

 ty," says Inspector Sorensen, "about 

 one-third from fine bearing trees, the 



balance from young stock. Nurseries 

 should be compelled to bud and graft 

 from bearing stock true to name, and 

 agents from nurseries outside the state 

 should be under bond to sell stock true 

 to name, as some other states have al- 

 ready incorporated in their laws. 



* ' All nurseries have been inspected 

 twice and some three times during the 

 growing season. Some 10,000 trees have 

 been dug, fumigated and inspected for 

 root diseases for fall delivery, but 250,- 

 000 have been dug and put in houses and 

 frost-proof cellars and part of them 

 fumigated, sorted and inspected, the bal- 

 ance to be sorted and inspected through 

 the winter. ' ' 



OKLAHOMA NURSERYMEN. 



The eleventh annual meeting of the 

 Oklahoma Nurserymen's Association was 

 held in Oklahoma City, January 8. There 

 was a good attendance and a spirited 

 discussion of trade conditions and trade 

 tendencies, but the only action of im- 

 portance, outside of election of officers, 

 was the decision of the association to 

 support a movement looking to a na- 

 tional inspection law. The officers 

 elected are: President, J. A. Lopman, 

 Enid; vice-president, J. W. Tetrick, 

 Blackwell ; secretary-treasurer, C. E. 

 Garee, Noble. 



COTONEASTERS. 



The cotoneasters are among tlie 

 brightest of our hardy berry-bearing 

 plants. C. frigida is one of the best 

 the large bunches of scarlet berries be- 

 ing of much beauty during late autumn 

 and early winter. It is full early to 

 write much about the newer C. angusti- 

 folia, says a correspondent of thr- 

 Gardeners' Magazine, yet this much 

 might bo said, that it appears quilc 

 hardy. C. Simonsii, C. microphylla aii.i 

 C. buxifolia are old inhabitants of om 

 gardens, and are well known to tin 

 planters, especially the former, whos.- 

 upright branches clothed with brigl.r 

 red berries form a conspicuous plaiii, 

 during winter. 



Nicholson, in his Dictionary of Gat 

 dening, says cotoneasters are easilv 

 raised from seed, but I have not fouiil 

 this to be so, with the exception of ( . 

 angustifolia and C. bacillaris. It is a 

 great pity the seeds do not germinate 

 quicker. Several species I sowed more 

 than a. year ago show no sign of germi 

 nation as yet. I was speaking to oui' 

 forester here a few days since on the 

 subject, and he said he ^ound the best 

 plan was to put the seeds in a box 

 with plenty of sand, allowing them h> 

 remain there a year, and then sow them 

 in the ordinary way. This is how lio 

 serves many of the hollies, and finds
