AIIBICAN AHROCIATION OF NURSEBTMEN.

 Searer. Ro<-hester; Treaa . C. L. Yatea. Rocbea- 

 ter. The 8Jd annual convention will be held at 

 Milwaukee, June, 1908. 



K. F. Spurlin has purchased all the 

 interest in the Home Nursery Co., at 

 Ussery, Ark. 



O. H. TiNDELL, who about four years 

 ago established the O. H. Tindell Nur- 

 sery Co., at Corryton, Tenn., has moved 

 to a new location at Fountain City, Tenn. 



Since the retirement of E. Albertson 

 from the firm of Albertson & Hobbs, 

 wholesale nurserymen at Bridgeport, 

 Ind., the firm has been conducted as C. 

 M. Hobbs & Son. 



F. G. Keys, a nurseryman of Monroe, 

 La., has been arrested at Memphis, 

 Tenn., on a charge of obtaining money 

 under false pretenses. After standing 

 trial at Memphis he will be taken to 

 Covington, Tenn., to face a similar 

 charge. 



No honest nurseryman will oppose leg- 

 islation for the protection of the farm- 

 ers, but when the laws are framed by 

 the score in haste, by those who know 

 nothing of the business of growing and 

 selling of nursery stock, the result is 

 restrictive to conditions almost impos- 

 sible to be conformed to. 



FRENCH NURSERY FEDERATION. 



Though the movement in favor of or- 

 ganization in the French nursery trade is 

 comparatively recent, it has been taken 

 up with enthusiasm, and is already pro- 

 ducing important results, some of which 

 will, without doubt, have an effect upon 

 the trade in other countries. 



English nurserymen are pleased to see 

 that one matter has received attention 

 which has been the cause of much ill- 

 feeling, and that is the practice of cer- 

 tain French firms sending wholesale lists 

 to retail buyers in England. According 

 to the Horticultural Advertiser and in 

 consequence of representations made 6n 

 this subject, M. Bene Barbier, secretary 

 of the Orleans association, announces 

 that it has been agreed by every nursery- 

 man in that district publishing a cata- 

 logue that for the future there shall be 

 a difference of at least twenty-five per 

 cent between wholesale and retail lists. 

 This decision has been communicated to 

 the Angers and Ussy districts and 

 adopted by them. 



The Lyons branch has taken similar 

 action, with the rule that no trade lists 

 shall for the future be sent to landed 

 proprietors and other private buyers. 

 "It is very pleasant to us," says the 

 Horticultural Advertiser, "having stren- 

 uously advocated the advantages of 

 organization and co-operation in the 

 nursery and seed trades for many years, 

 to see that at last the movement has not 

 only taken firm root here, but is now 

 being warmly taken up in France, Ger- 

 many, and other continental countries. 

 Our American cousins, with their well- 

 known business acumen, are, of course, 

 years ahead of us in this important 

 question. ' ' 



Our French confreres have already 

 tackled the thorny question of prices, and 

 the Paris district has decided on a gen- 

 eral rise of ten per cent upon previous

SEASONABLE SUGGESTIONS. 



Where circumstances or conditions 

 have not been favorable for the thorough 

 preparation of the soil when rhododen- 

 drons were at first planted, it will be a 

 good plan now to cover the ground over 

 the roots of the plants with a good coat 

 of leaf soil, which will be so much the 

 better if there is some well rotted two- 

 year-old manure added to it. All winter 

 this covering may remain on top, but in 

 spring it may be lightly forked in. This 

 will have a wonderfully beneficial effect 

 on the plants, even during the season 

 immediately succeeding the time of ap- 

 plication. 



Ampelopsis Veitchii makes a glorious 

 and intensely brilliant display wherever 

 it is growing, at this time of the year. 

 The only drawback to this vine is that it 

 remains so short a time in leaf when the
