 The 33d annual convention will be held at Mil- 

 waukee, June, 19UT. 



Changes in classification and minimum 

 carloads are effecting a steady increase 

 in freight rates. 



Western nurseries are finding shrubs 

 to be rapidly increasing in importance 

 as compared to other classes of stock. 



The florists who handle nursery stock 

 as a side line ara learning that it is not 

 alw-ays the lowest price which determines 

 which is the cheapest offer of shrubs. 



At the A. A. N. convention the fact 

 was made apparent that the stocks of or- 

 namental trees are not increasing as fast 

 as is the demand, especially for the larger 

 sizes. 



W. F. Scheli., of the Wichita Nur- 

 sery, Wichita, Kan., reports a steadily 

 increasing call for evergreens, in response 

 to which he is increasing his acreage and 

 list of broadleaved and coniferous ever- 

 greens. 



G. M. Bentley, who has charge of 

 the nursery inspection in Tennessee, 

 warns nurserymen to keep their prom- 

 ises free of weeds, as " it is a protection 

 from insects and lessens the spread of 

 scale. ' ' 



A number of the nurseries at Ouden- 

 bosch, Holland, have pooled their inter- 

 ests in the American trade, combining 

 to conduct the rapidly increasing Ameri- 

 can trade together under the title of the 

 Union Nurseries. II. W. Van der Bonl, 

 of the Alma Nursery, is director. 



The rains throughout the west have 

 brightened the farmers' prospects the 

 last few weeks. The nursery agents 

 everywhere report trade conditions won- 

 derfully improved. Eeports of $300 or 

 $400 in sales a week per man are fre- 

 quent, according to the Sherman Nursery 

 Co., Charles City, la. 



Nurserymen have been doing their 

 part to flood the city cut flower markets 

 with blooms from the peony fields.| Much 

 of the stock has brought little, largely 

 because the nurserymen do not cut, 

 bunch and pack the flowers as carefully 

 and understandingly as do those who 

 grow peonies expressly for cutting. 



The Jackson, Tenn., Sun has discov- 

 ered that the nursery business in Ten- 

 nessee began in the early seventies, and 

 it now comprises 225 nurseries, embrac- 

 ing about 6,000 acres. The Knorville 

 Sentinel adds that the nurseries in East 

 Tennessee produce congressmen as well 

 as apple trees, referring to N. W. Hale, 

 of that town. 



Judge Littlefield has sold his estate 

 in Lexington, Mass., to Alfred E. Robin- 

 son, treasurer and manager of the New 

 England Nurseries, who came in one 

 afternoon, saw the property, bought and 

 took his deed, and paid cash. The es- 

 tate is the former home of his father on 

 I'arker street, consisting of a large house 

 of twelve rooms, quite modern, together 

 with 15,000 square feet of land. It is 

 said to be the quickest real estate deal 

 on record in the town.

EVERGREEN CUTTINGS. 



How and when are evergreen cuttings 

 made? J. L. J. 



Many evergreens are raised entirely 

 from seed, but thuyas, retinosporas, 

 thuyopsis and taxus may be rooted from 

 cuttings, which may be taken off, pref- 

 erably with a heel, four to six inches 

 long, or even longer in the case of 

 retinosporas, if desired, and planted in 

 boxes or benches of sandy loam in a 

 cool greenhouse from the beginning to the 

 end of July — not later than the middle 

 of August, or the wood will be a little 

 too hard. If a greenhouse is not at serv- 

 ice, utilize a coklframe, which will 

 answer fully as well and in some ways 

 better. Sandy loam, well firmed, is 

 needed. Soak well with water before 

 putting in the cuttings. Be sure to firm 

 the latter thoroughly and water again 

 after they are put in. Keep the frame 

 shaded either with shading on the glass 

 or with plant cloths, which are best taken
