 The 88d annual conventlou will be helu at Mil- 

 waukee, June, IU08. 



Work for better stock and better 

 prices, not for increased production, low 

 quality and cheap sales. 



The dry weather in tlie east has not 

 helped the nurserymen to get a good 

 season's growth. Western New York 

 has had a summer of drought. 



The Apple Shippers' Association finds 

 that the apple crop east of the Missis- 

 sippi will be considerably larger this year 

 than last, but in the west it will be 

 much lighter. Missouri, the home of the 

 Ben Davis, has but fifteen per cent of 

 last year's crop. 



The American Pomological Society 

 will meet at the Jamestown exposition 

 September 24 to 26. C. L. Watrous, J. 

 W. Kerr, P. J. Berckmans and one or 

 two other nurserymen have places on the 

 program, but most of the papers are by 

 the pomological experts of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture and the state ex- 

 periment stations. 



William A. Peterson, proprietor of 

 the Peterson Nursery, Chicago, says that 

 Mme. de Verneville is, in his opinion, 

 one of the most wonderful of peonies 

 and that it is not yet recognized at any- 

 where its true wortl^ by the trade in this 

 country, although in Europe it is held 

 at good prices and only small quantities 

 are to be obtained. It is white, full 

 petaled and incurved. It is one of the 

 best keepers as a cut flower and ex- 

 tremely fragrant. 



BERBERIS THUNBERGII. 



Hedges of California privet were so 

 badly injured — in fact, frozen to the 

 ground in many sections — last winter, 

 that it is desirable to know what will 

 take its place as an ornamental hedge 

 plant. Berberis Thunbergii stood the 

 winter just alongside hedges of privet 

 and was not injured. Can Berberis Thun- 

 bergii be planted successfully in the fall, 

 and if so, about what time! 



W. H. H. R. 



In answer to the above query, I would 

 say that I have seen hundreds of Berberis 

 Tliunbergii planted in the middle of June 

 to replace the same number of plants 

 which for some mysterious reason failed 

 to survive the previous winter. There 

 were few deaths among those planted 

 at the time mentioned. Berberis Thun- 

 bergii can be successfully transplanted in 

 the fall and the work of planting may be 

 done any time from the latter part of 

 September till frost sets in. Spring is, 

 however, the best time of the year for 

 the transplanting of Berberis Thunbergii, 

 because there is less likelihood of the loss 

 of the plants than from fall trans- 

 planting. R. R. 



LITTLE THINGS WORTH KNOWING

 that has been thoroughly trenched suc-

 holes when the ground in the immediate 

 vicinity of these holes is hard. •

 spongioles can easily push wheu spring

Wiien the soil is very wet at the time 

 of transplanting, severe pountling or 

 treading over the roots should be avoided. 

 If, however, the soil is dry, moderate 

 pressing by treading or careful pounding 

 will be needed.
