 Bearer, RocheBter; Treas., C. L.Yates. Rochester. 

 The 33d annual conyentlon will be held at Mil- 

 waukee, June, 1908. 



O. H. KoEHLER has bought an inter- 

 est in the Fostoria Nursery, Milford, la. 



William A. Peterson, Chicago, is 

 with his family at Lake Geneva, Wis., 

 for a stay of three weeks. 



Good growing weather affords much 

 encouragement to the nurserymen, after 

 their delayed season of replanting. 



Glen Bros., Rochester, N. Y., have in- 

 corporated with $50,000 authorized capi- 

 tal stock. The officers and directors for 

 the first year are Emerson S. Mayo, Ray 

 A. Mayo and George M. Pappert. 



The convention of the American As- 

 sociation of Park Superintendents will 

 be held at Toronto August 15 to 17 in- 

 stead of on the dates previously an- 

 nounced by the secretary, F. L. Mulford, 

 Harrisburg, Pa. 



The Nurserymen's Association of Ok- 

 lahoma and Indian Territory has been in 

 session at Oklahoma City, but the at- 

 tendance was small, because of pressure 

 of other matters, and little was accom- 

 plished. Officers were re-elected. 



SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



Now is the time to push ahead the 

 work of propagating all kinds of ever- 

 greens that can be rooted now from 

 cuttings outdoors or in. Frames covered 

 with anything that will shade the cut- 

 tings until they are nearlv rooted will 

 answer the purpose admirably, but most 

 things can be rooted in the open ground 

 in a shady location. Shade of some 

 kind, however, is absolutely necessary. 

 A little sand and leaf-mold worked into 

 the soil will be very helpful in the root- 

 ing process. A thorough watering after 

 each batch of cuttings is put in is essen- 

 tial to their well-doing; so, also, is a 

 frequent sprinkling overhead. The soil 

 should never be allowed to become dry. 



Last winter was extremely severe on 

 plum and peach trees in some sections 

 of the country. There is very little fruit 

 set on pears. Both these conditions will 

 tend to advance the price of fruit, while 

 the former condition will create a de- 

 mand for young stock. 



Privet grown into specimen plants of 

 pyramid or standard form is in consider- 

 able demand now for the same purposes 

 as bays were formerly used, chiefly be- 

 cause the privet can be used in large 

 numbers at a much smaller cost than 

 bay trees and produces an effect very 

 little inferior to the latter, with a de- 

 cided advantage in favor of the privet 

 in the assurance of its standing outdoors 

 all winter with but little danger of be- 

 ing killed by frost. E. B.
