The Weekly Florists* Review, 



OCTOBBU 10, 1007. 



NURSERY NEWS. 



AHBBICAN A880CIATIQN OF NDBSEBTMEN. 



PresM J- W. Hill, Des Moines, la.; Vlce-pres., 

 O. M. BobbB, Brldfoport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. O. 

 Sewer, Roobester; Treas., C. L. Yates, Rochester. 

 The 88d annual conTentlon will be hela at Mil- 

 waukee, June, 1908. 



It is worth while keeping an eye on 

 the pages of European advertising in 

 the Review. There are many offers 

 there that will mean money to you to 

 know about. 



S. C. Clapp, for the last six years con- 

 nected with the John A. Young nursery 

 at Greensboro, N. C, has been appointed 

 state inspector of nurseries and orchards, 

 to succeed S. L, Smith, who hns gone 

 to Illinois to take up similar work. 



The San Benito Nursery Co., of San 

 Benito, Cameron county, Texas, has been 

 incorporated, with a capital stock of 

 $5,000. The incorporators are H. G. 

 Stilwell, Alba Heywood, W. H. Steiger, 

 F. P. Foley and R. L. Watts. 



W. B. Sands, the florist of Baltimore, 

 Md., has joined with his sons, W. B. 

 Sands, Jr., Geo. M. Sands, Frank N. 

 Sands and Hugh K. Sands, in the char- 

 tering of a company at Towson, in Bal- 

 timore. The new corporation, which will 

 be known as the W. B. Sands & Sons 

 Co., has a capital stock of $5,000, and 

 will engage in a general nursery and 

 landscape gardening business. 



The East Highlands Nurseries, Co- 

 lumbus, Ga,, of which Mrs. Adele L. 

 Foley is proprietor, suffered a loss of 

 about $1,000, September 25, by the fall- 

 ing of a large water-tank. The tank 

 fell to the ground, a distance of eighty 

 feet, and was broken into fragments. 

 The flood of water, suddenly released, 

 swept everything before it, even break- 

 ing down a brick wall and carrying some 

 of the bricks fifty or sixty yards. No 

 one was injured. 



SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



English ivy can be protected in winter 

 by i>lacing a coat of loose stable manure 

 over the roots and spruce or hemlock 

 branches over all the vines. This will 

 afford just the amount of protection in 

 the way of shade that the leaves of ivy 

 require. 



It is not yet too late to put in quan- 

 tities of ivy cuttings. In many parts 

 of tho country it is only quite recently 

 that English ivy started to make such 

 headway that cuttings in considerable 

 numbers were available. 



Hydrangea cuttings may also be put 

 in now, either in flats or pots, or in 

 sand in the bench. It will have to be 

 t-arefully seen to that the cuttings are 

 not allowed to wilt during the first few 

 days. 



All the planting that can be done now, 

 before cold and hard freezing weather 

 makes such work impossible, should be 

 rushed to a finish. And then there will 

 be time for the covering of things that 

 require such protection. 



It will be well to bear in mind that 

 maples may be seriously injured by prun- 

 ing or cutting back during the winter 

 and early spring. That work, if nec- 

 essary, can be done yet for a little 

 while. 



Although Ampelopsis Veitchii is quite 

 hardy, or nearly so, in most parts of the 

 country, sometimes it gets killed right 

 down from some unknown cause. To

make sure that it will not get killed by 

 frost for want of protection, it will bo 

 well to throw some manure or litter over 

 the ground covering the roots. 



It will be well now to pick up all the 

 acorns that may be required, before 

 they become useless by remaining on the 

 damp ground. 



All newly planted trees, shrubs or 

 vines should have a coat of manure or 

 some other substance, like litter, over the 

 roots and well up to the trunks or stems. 

 This will not only prevent injury by 

 heading with frost, but will also modify 

 the evil effect of a cavity between the
