The prairie farmers are buying shrubs 

 as well as fruit trees. 



The nursery business in the south- 

 west is going forward at an amazingly 

 rapid rate. 



NoRTHEUP, King & Co., Minneapolis, 

 Minn., are in the market for a list of 

 peonies for starting a plantation for 

 stock.

D. W. Babcock is foreman for J. C. 

 Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md., and is now 

 running a budding gang of over sixty 

 men. They already have in over half a 

 million peach buds. , 



In closing his address to the American 

 Association of Nurserymen at the De- 

 troit meeting President Orlando Harri- 

 son said : "My last and most important 

 recommendation to you is, that we as 

 nurserymen should increase the price of 

 our trees and plants in proportion to 

 the increased price in labor and other 

 necessities for growing high-grade nur- 

 sery stock." It is worth remembering. 



The new inspection law in Wisconsin 

 is now in operation and all nurseries 

 must be inspected before the next plant- 

 ing season, or sale will be proscribed by 

 the absence of a certificate. Nurserymen 

 are required to make application for in- 

 spection to J. G. Moore, Madison, Wis. 

 Cost of inspection is to be defrayed by 

 the nurserymen and is less if done on the 

 regular rounds than if the inspector make 

 a special trip. 



PLANTING EVERGREENS. 



August and September planting of 

 evergreens ought to be encouraged, for 

 at this season of the year planters are 

 not so busy with other work. Evergreens, 

 especially the spruce family, make a 

 new root growth during the latter part 

 of August or the early part of Septem- 

 ber. They establish themselves in the 

 ground when the weather is favorable, 

 and make new roots within four to six 

 days after planting, and they make a 

 much better growth the following spring, 

 than do spring planted trees. 



"In August, 1903," says D. Hill, of 

 Dundee, 111., "I planted out in nursery 

 rows 200,000 Norway spruce seedlings 

 six to ten inches in height. The follow- 

 ing spring I %valked over the patch for 

 over an hour, and failed to find a single 

 dead tree. In August, 1905, I planted 

 out a large amount of white pine, Nor- 

 way spruce and white spruce seedlings, 

 with a loss of eighty-five per cent. The 

 weather has much to do with early fall 

 planting. With mild weather and a little 

 rain success is assured. If I had watered 

 the 1905 planting, I could have saved 

 every tree. ' '

his experience with the rather heavy 

 clay soils of Indiana. He said that they 

 rely mainly on the two-horse tongueless 

 walking cultivator, which, with a high 

 arch, enables them to cultivate two and 

 three-year stock. In dry weather they 

 follow the cultivator with a drag well 

 weighted, thoroughly pulverizing the sur- 

 face. This process is kept up about 

 every ten days through the season. The 

 best method for keeping stock clean in 

 the rows, is either with the disc plow 

 set to throw the earth from the row, or 

 mould-boards attached to the inside feet 

 of the two-horse cultivator, or in larger 

 stock to use the pony bar plow, running 

 the bar as close to the row as possible, 

 leaving as narrow a ridge as can be ob- 

 tained between the plants. This plow- 

 ing is immediately followed by a gang 

 of boys with sharp, triangular steel 

 scratchers with convenient handles. These 

 boys are paid from 50 to 75 cents per 

 day, and will do more work in a day 

 than men with hoes at double the wages. 



NEWPORT, R. I. 



Current G>mment. 



Newport is just entering upon tlie 

 gayeties of the season, with the promise 

 of one of the busiest and most profitable 

 seasons on record for florists. There is 

 an unusually large demand for decora- 

 tive plants for the decoi^tion of dwell- 

 ings; perhaps the general scarcity of 

 large plants may make the demand more 

 pronounced and consequently more felt 

 in the local market than if it was caused 

 solely by an increase of local uses for 

 such plants. There are a great many 

 people here now and the number in- 

 cludes everyone of that exclusive set in 

 whose circle the most lavish entertain- 

 ments are always given. Although the 

 florist who is fortunate enough to secure 

 during the season an extra share of the
