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

 Pres., J. W. Hill, Dea Moines, la. ; Sec'y, Oeo. O. 

 Seatrer, RochcBter; Treas. C. L. Yates, Rochester. 

 The 82d annual convention will be held at De- 

 troit, Mich., June, 1907. 



A CONTEST is being made against the 

 will of the late George Ellwanger, of 

 Rochester. 



J. H. Hadkinson, now located at Ben- 

 son, Neb., is doing a job of landscape 

 work at the courthouse at Norfolk, Neb. 



At Geneva, N. Y., the nurserymen re- 

 port the coldest weather, January 24, 

 since 1897. It was 18 degrees below 

 zero and some injury to stock is feared. 



W. H. Wyman, of the Bay State Nur- 

 series, North Abbington, Mass., sailed for 

 Europe January 23 to superintend the 

 packing and shipping of large quantities 

 of specimen evergreens, rhododendrons 

 and other stock he is importing this sea- 

 son. 



John S. Kerr, chairman of the legis- 

 lative committee in charge of the Texas 

 horticultural interests, has called a meet- 

 ing of the full committee at Austin Feb- 

 ruary 5, preceding the meetings of the 

 state nut growers' organization and the 

 State Horticultural Society. F. T. Ram- 

 sey, E. W. KirEpatrick and F. W. 

 Mally are among the nurserymen on the 

 committee. 



The Xenia Star Nursery Co. will not 

 move away from Xenia, O., as has been 

 the intention for some time, arrange- 

 ments having been made by Messrs. 

 Gaines and McNary for the purchase 

 of the M. C. Bailey farm, on the Dayton 

 pike, which the company has had leased 

 for ten years. The ten-year lease ex- 

 pires in a few months and as a satisfac- 

 tory arrangement could not be reached 

 for a renewal of the lease the company 

 had decided to move. As that would 

 be a very expensive proposition, nego- 

 tiations were begun for the purchase of 

 the farm, which consists of more than a 

 hundred acres of the best land in that 

 section of the country. 



WANTS PUBLICATION. 



"I, as one of the executive committee 

 of the Oklahoma Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion, will say that we shall immediately 

 ask the board of agriculture to adopt a 

 new plan in the way of giving out its 

 financial statements, especially those 

 that apply to the inspection of nursery- 

 men," said J. T. Pierce, of Oklahoma 

 City. Continuing, Mr. Pierce said: 

 "There are a certain number of nursery- 

 men alleged who have been inspected, ac- 

 cording to the financial report as made. 

 The nurserymen pay for this inspection, 

 which is promised to them at absolute 

 cost. Why would it not be just and 

 right that each one of these nursery- 

 men's names be given in the report, his 

 residence, the number of his inspection, 

 and the amount he had to pay? There 

 were only eighty-seven inspected. The 

 matter is of enough importance to be 

 entitled to an itemized statement of the 

 whole thing. The law requires that the 

 entomologist from the experiment station 

 at Stillwater must make the inspection, 

 for which he shall receive $5 per day and 

 his expenses. This expense is prorated 

 to the nurserymen inspected. If every 



inspection is contained in an itemized 

 statement and made a part of the secre- 

 tary 's annual report, then the whole 

 matter would be plain. As it is, there is 

 so much apportioned for ' nursery in- 

 spection,' and that is all there is to show 

 for it." 



RETAILERS MEET. 



A meeting of the National Association 

 of Retail Nurserymen was held at Roch- 

 ester January 22. Trade conditions were 

 discussed. Wm. Pitkin is president. In 

 the evening the fourth annual banquet 

 took place at the Eureka Club, 100 being 

 present. C. J. Malloy was one of those 

 who responded to toasts, his subject 

 being "The Square Deal." 



Among the members present from out- 

 side of Rochester were: Orlando Harri- 

 son, of Berlin, Md., president of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen ; 

 E. Albertson, Bridgeport, Ind., chairman 

 of the executive committee and official

NEW YORK HORTICULTURISTS. 



The annual meeting of the Western 

 New York Horticultural Society always 



attracts a large body of fruit growers 

 to Rochester, and consequently a large 

 following of nurserymen. The fifty- 

 second meeting was held January 23 and 

 24. The membership is 900. The re- 

 markable midwinter exhibit of fruit was 

 greatly enjoyed. The exhibit of the 

 New York Agricultural Experiment Sta- 

 tion was one of the finest and most prac- 

 tical ever shown in connection with thesA 

 annual meetings, while the exhibits by 

 firms and individual members have never 

 been equaled. The total number of plates 

 was over 600, and George T. Powell, an 

 expert in fruit culture and in judging 

 of fruit, and who acted on the eommir 

 tee to report on this exhibit, declare. 1 

 that the perfection in form and eoloi 

 was equal if not superior to anything 

 produced on the Pacific coast or in the 

 great northwest fruit-growing region. 



The display of spraying devices anii 

 outfits, with engines in action, was by 

 far the largest and most successful ever 

 assembled in this section, and the dem- 

 onstration that was given won many 

 customers for the various exhibitors. 



The first business to come before \hc 

 •meeting was the election of officers. W. 



C. Barry was reelected president and S. 



D. Willard, of Geneva; J. S. Woodward, 

 of Lockport ; F. B. Wilson, of Halls Cor- 

 ners, and B. J. Case, of Sodus, were
