NURSERY NEWS. 



AMBBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBYHEN. 



Pres., J. W. Hill, DeB Moines, la.; Vice-pres., 

 C. M. Hobbs, firldgreport, Ind.; Sec'y, Oao. C. 

 Searer, Rochester; Treas., C. L. Tales, Roches- 

 ter. The 83(1 annual convention will he held at 

 Milwaukee, June, 1908. 



Thk court proceedings in the effort to 

 break the will of the late George Ell- 

 wanger are occupying a great deal of 

 space in the Eochester papers. 



The Saturday half -holiday is becom- 

 ing quite general in English nursery 

 establishments, where it is found to in 

 no way lessen the amount of the week's 

 work. 



Stanley Walker has bought the 

 nursery of the Grand Junction Seed 

 and Nursery Co., Grand Junction, Colo., 

 and is building a greenhouse this fall, 

 with the intention of building more in 

 the spring. 



The Division of Foreign Markets, U. 

 S. Department of Agriculture, Washing- 

 ton, D. C, will in a few days issue a 

 bulletin entitled "Ocean Freight Kates 

 and the Conditions Affecting Them," 

 which will be of interest to importers. 



Just as soon as the young wood on 

 privet is ripe enough, cuttings should be 

 taken and, immediately after they are 

 cut, tied up in bundles and then buried 

 in soil or sand in a cellar or some other 

 cool place. It will do to bury the cut- 

 tings in soil outdoors, but it may be 

 more convenient to haul them somewhere 

 under cover. 



In moving, and planting trees of any 

 kind, it should be seen to that when the 

 roots are broken or mutilated, those 

 so mutilated or broken are cut with a 

 saw or sharp knife (preferably a knife), 

 to where they are unharmed. By doing 

 this, conditions are made right for new 

 and serviceable roots emitting from those 

 operated upon. On the other hand, if 

 the damaged roots were left unattended 

 to they would most likely decay and han- 

 dicap the tree in its effort to accommo- 

 date itself to changed conditions. 



VEIR'S CUT-LEAVED MAPLE. 



Weir's cut-leaved maple is in many 

 respects a most desirable tree. When 

 wanted for use as single specimens it 

 requires little pruning beyond keeping 

 to the desired shape, but when they 

 are planted as street trees they will 

 require to be kept cut back from the 

 start. It stands cutting well. The 

 foliage of this tree is ornamental and 

 pleasing, while the branches, which are 

 of a weeping character, are decidedly 

 graceful. Weir's cut-leaved maple is 

 nearly as rapid a grower as any of the 

 maples. 



The Norway maple is now, as it has 

 been for a number of years, in greater 

 demand than any other deciduous tree. 

 It, is doubtful if on the whole there 

 is any tree so well adapted for plant- 

 ing in so many locations, varying in 

 climate and other conditions. M.

Pedestrians in Ninth street witnessed 

 an odd accident November 8, says a 

 correspondent from Richmond, Va., 

 when a heavily laden truck, drawn by 

 a span of mules, rumbled down the

hill from Grace to Main street with one 

 huge hind wheel wreathed in flames and 

 smoke. 



The truck was loaded with half a 

 dozen heavy cases of shrubs, trees and 

 plants from the W. T. Hood Nurseries. 

 The cases were consigned to several sta- 

 tions on the line of the Norfolk & West- 

 ern. On account of the weight of the 

 load the negro driver chained the rear 

 wheels of the truck before descending 

 the hill, fearing that the heavy bur- 

 den would gather momentum on the 

 steep incline and sweep the mules be- 

 fore it. 



The friction of the steel rims against 

 the granite spalls ignited the woodwork 

 of one wheel before the truck had gone
