E. M. McMiCKEN, of Woodville, Tex., 

 is endeavoring to organize a stock com- 

 pany to establish a nursery at Beaumont, 

 Tex. 



The Sneed Nursery and Orchard Co., 

 of Tyler, Tex., has been incorporated, 

 with $43,000 authorized capital stock, by 

 C. W. Wood, J. F. Sneed and Frank

At the J. G. Harrison & Sons nursery 

 at Berlin, Md., there has been an out- 

 break of spinal meningitis among the 

 herd of mules, five having died and four- 

 teen being very sick at the date of this 

 report. 



A SHIPMENT of 1,086 plum trees re- 

 cently received in Butte county, Cal., 

 from a Connecticut nursery company, 

 was consigned to the flames by the com- 

 missioner of horticulture, T. F. Stile, 

 because he found that the roots were 

 alive with borers. 



PiCEA ORiENTALis, or eastern spruce, 

 resembles the Norway spruce, but the 

 needles are of a darker and richer green 

 than those of the latter. It Js symmetrical 

 and compact in habit, forming a shapely, 

 pyramidal tree. It is a desirable variety 

 for single specimen planting. 



The bankrupt estate of Howard A, 

 Chase, Philadelphia, late treasurer of the 

 R. G. Chase Nursery Co., Geneva, N. Y., 

 offers for sale 130 shares of stock in 

 that company, the shares being now in 

 the hands of Chester N. Farr, Jr., trus- 

 tee, 415 Real Estate Trust building, 

 Philadelphia. 



JUNIPERUS COMMUNIS HiBERNICA is, as 



the last word of the name implies, the 

 Irish juniper. It forms a slender speci- 

 men of columnar shape. The foliage is 

 (lark green. It is extensively used in 

 formal planting and for contrast among 

 other evergreens. It is also much in de- 

 .mand for cemetery work. 



The report has been received from 

 Hollister, Cal., that several hundred young 

 peach trees, recently purchased from a 

 Fresno nursery by William Kelly, were 

 condemned by the newly appointed hor- 

 ticultural inspector, Leonard Day, as they 

 were infected with peach blight. The 

 oflBcials of the state university confirmed 

 Mr. Day's statement.

 corporation was reported in the Review

 sey and Long Island nurseries. These 

 different concerns will hereafter be con- 

 ducted as branches of the company, un- 

 der the same local management as here-

MAPLE AND PEACH CUTTINGS. 



Can hard-wood cuttings of Norway ma- 

 ple and peach trees be rooted? When 

 and how! H. B. M. 



In answer to the above query, I would 

 say that most of the maples will grow 

 from cuttings of either soft or ripe wood. 

 They can also be layered, budded or 

 grafted. Hard-wood cuttings of Norway 

 should be made at once; earlier would 

 have been better. Cut to lengths of six 

 inches and plant in frames, l have never 

 thought this the best way to propagate 

 the common sorts of maples and much 

 prefer to grow them from seed, this 

 being the cheapest, most practical and
