 The 33d annual convention will be held at Mil- 

 waukee, June, 1908. 



H. W. Van der Bom & Co., Ouden- 

 bosch, Holland, state that H. W. Van 

 der Bom has no longer any connection 

 ■with that firm or with the Alma Nur- 

 series, which the firm conducts; nor has 

 that firm any connection with the Union 

 Nurseries, a combination said to embrace 

 three nurseries which have pooled their 

 interests in the American trade, under 

 the direction of Mr. Van der Bom. 



NURSERY EQUIPMENT. 



All wideawake nurserymen realize that 

 they cannot keep up with the times if 

 their equipments are radically different 

 from those of their successful competi- 

 tors. There is perhaps no part of a 

 nursery equipment more indispensable 

 than a plant storehouse. It not only 

 saves many things that would either- per- 

 ish if left outdoors or at best would 

 necessitate laborious outdoor protection, 

 but it also facilitates the shipping and 

 marketing of stock in early spring and 

 late in summer. Such a house is useful 

 in protecting as well as retarding when 

 such is deemed necessary;., for business 

 purposes. 



It is perhaps hard to determine which 

 could be omitted with the least resulting 

 loss, a storehouse or a greenhouse, but 

 there are few engaged in the business 

 nowadays who would think of doing with- 

 out either. At no time of the year need 

 a nursery greenhouse be empty or even 

 partly empty.' The demands for the 

 products of the nursery are becoming so 

 varied as well as extensive in certain 

 lines that only by utilizing greenhouses 

 to the fullest extent possible can these 

 demands be met and progress be made, 

 as progress is made by others. R. R. 



THE ALBAUGH CASE. 



Ralph H. Gibson, sheriff of 'Miami 

 county, Ohio, has been appointed receiver 

 for the Albaugh Nursery and Orchard 

 Co., of Phoneton. His bond was fixed 

 at $10,000. The appointment of a re- 

 ceiver was made on application of the 

 Fourth National Bank, of Dayton, which 

 represented in its petition that the de- 

 fendant concern had liabilities of $40,- 

 000. Noah H. Albaugh alone is surety 

 on $37,000 of the amount. According 

 to the decree of the court in naming a 

 receiver, the assets of the company will 

 be appraised and sold, the proceeds be- 

 ing applied to the liabilities. The bal- 

 ance remaining unpaid, if any, will be 

 liquidated by the sale of Mr. Albaugh 's 

 personal property interests. 



HYDRANGEA OTAKSA. 



Now is the time to think about in- 

 creasing the stock of Hydrangea Otaksa 

 from cuttings; they may be rooted in 

 nmall pots, in flats or in frames, if pro- 

 vision is made for their thorough protec- 

 tion in winter. The young plants rooted 

 in frames may be allowed to remain 

 there until spring. This protection is 

 easily afforded if the bottom of the

SMALL FRUITS. 



The twenty white tables in the Mary- 

 land space in the States Exhibit Palace 

 at the Jamestown Exposition last week 

 were covered with magnificent Lucretia 

 dewberries and HoUoway and Hough- 

 ton gooseberries. The dewberries, which 

 were exceptionally fine, were exhibited 

 by J. A. Davis and J. Spencer Lapham, 

 of Goldsboro, Caroline county, Mary- 

 land. The gooseberries were exhibited 

 by Roland H. Phelps, of Brooklyn, Md. 

 All three of these gentlemen are exten- 

 sive growers of small fruits and they 

 are to be commended for advertising 

 their respective counties by showing some 

 of their best fruit to the public at the 

 exposition. 



THE OSAGE ORANGE. 



The osage orange is a tree of medium 

 size, with a short trunk, ridged scaly 

 bark, and wide-spreading branches. 

 Within its natural range, the tree occa- 

 sionally reaches a height of sixty or 

 seventy feet and a diameter of two feet. 

 This size, however, is not attained else- 

 where. It produces a compound glob- 

 ular fruit that looks somewhat like an 

 orange, is yellow when ripe, and con- 

 tains a large number of seeds. 



The natural range of the osage orange 

 is from the Arkansas river south through 

 southeastern Indian Territory to south- 

 ern Texas. In the forest its principal 

 associates are the oaks, elms and hick- 

 ories. It grows on rich bottom lands 

 and fertile slopes and appears to be 

 most abundant and to attain its great- 

 est size in the valley of the Red river 

 in Indian Territory. Cultivation has

given it an artificial distribution of much 

 greater extent. 



The range of the osage orange for 

 economic planting includes the middle 

 western states from central Illinois 

 southward and westward to eastern Colo- 

 rado and New Mexico. It is hardy as 

 far north as Massachusetts, but is likely 

 to be winterkilled during severe seasons 

 in the northern part of Iowa, Nebraska 

 and Illinois. 



The osage orange adapts itself to a 

 great variety of soil and climatic con- 

 ditions and within its planted range is 

 surpassed in hardiness only by the red 

 cedar. It will endure a great amount of 

 neglect and rarely succumbs to drought.
