 The 82d annual convention will be held at De- 

 troit, Mich., June 12 to 14, 1907. 



One of the great difficulties with the 

 nursery business this spring has been the 

 difficulty in securing capable labor. All 

 labor is higher in price. 



W. A. England, Flintville, Tenn., re- 

 ports the loss of 30,000 cherry and sev- 

 eral thousands of peach trees as a result 

 of the cold weather of early spring. 



The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, is ex- 

 ecuting a contract for landscape work 

 amounting to $10,000, at St. Xavier's 

 Academy, Fiftieth street and Cottage 

 Grove avenue, Chicago. 



The magnolias on Oxford street, Roch- 

 ester, N. Y., always are one of the sights 

 of the city in May. This year the dis- 

 play, an eighth of a mile on each side 

 of the street, has made an even finer 

 show than usual. 



With the annual convention of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 less than two weeks away, it looks as 

 though the meeting will find the mem- 

 bers much busier than usual when the 

 hour for departure arrives. It is ex- 

 pected, however, that the attendance will 

 be the largest on record. 



Careful investigation in the six large 

 nurseries near Monroe, Mich., shows that 

 the severe frosts in late May killed half 

 a million trees. All night May 20 the 

 nurserymen kept huge bonfires going in 

 the fields surrounding the trees, in the 

 hope that the warm air floating over the 

 trenches would offset the effects of the 

 frost, and in this they were partly suc- 

 cessful. There was heavy snow in parts 

 of the lower peninsula of Michigan 

 May 27. 



Word comes from Jackson, the capital 

 of Mississippi, that "the United States 

 Nursery Co., of Eich, Coahoma county, 

 a corporation formed at that center for 

 the purpose of improving the horticul- 

 tural and pomological industry, has be- 

 come so enthused over the prospects as 

 to lead to the adoption of a resolution 

 to amend the original charter in order 

 to increase the capital stock from $25,- 

 000 to $75,000. This company was 

 formed some two years ago, and the 

 result of that organization was such as 

 to insure its permanency from the start 

 and the enlargement of its powers and 

 increase of capital stock by $50,000 are 

 the logical outcome of natural condi- 

 tions. ' ' 



SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



It must be exasperating in the extreme 

 to nurserymen and other practical men 

 to see flowering shrubs mutilated in the 

 way they very often are on public 

 grounds and private estates. This muti- 

 lation is carried on systematically every 

 spring or in late winter, under the term 

 of pruning, and pruning it is, too, when 

 all or nearly all of the wood, which, if 

 left as it should be, would produce bloom 

 in abundance, is cut right out. It might 

 help matters if nurserymen would give 

 a few explicit directions for pruning

with all shrubs sent out. This, I think, 

 could be done without a very great ex- 

 pense by having the directions printed 

 on tags and using these as labels also. 



All the weigelias are useful for plant- 

 ing on grounds of limited extent and W. 

 nana variegata is especially desirable 

 because of its variegated foliage; it is 

 also a very good bloomer. 



Late flowering shrubs are by no means 

 abundant; it is a realization of that 

 fact, perhaps, that is the cause of an 

 increasing demand for some varieties of 

 hibiscus (Rose of Sharon or altheas). 

 These shrubs do remarkably well in al- 

 most every situation and are suitable 

 for planting in borders or singly, or in 

 groups on lawns, as well as for hedges. 



Hydrangea Otaksa in tubs may to some 

 persons appear all right when placed 

 on the grass, but it would seem that it 

 would be more pleasing to look at, as 

 well as better for the plants, if they 

 were planted in the soil. They are 

 easily taken up in the fall and tubbed if 

 necessary. 



The necessity may arise occasionally 

 for the planting of evergreen trees close- 

 ly in groups — so closely that at the time 

 of planting one touches the other, the 

 apparent object in doing so being im- 

 mediate effect, but there is no reason 

 why the trees should remain as planted 

 after a few years or when they get es- 

 tablished. In the event of the trees 

 remaining close together, they will either 

 require clipping, which detracts immeas- 

 urably from their beauty, or they will
