NURSERY NEWS. 



AMBRICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEB¥MEN. 



Pres.. J. W. HIU, Des Moines, la.; Vice-Pres., 

 C. M. Hobbs, Bridgeport, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C. 

 SeRger, Rochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Tates, 

 Rocoeater, N. Y. The 33d annual convention will 

 be held at Milwaukee, June, 1908. 



J. W. Meek, nurseryman at Columbus, 

 O., was thrown February 17, while break- 

 ing a colt, and suffered severe cuts and 

 bruises. 



The constantly increasing demand for 

 the Norway maple is so evident to some 

 that they think the fact can hardly be 

 announced too often. 



The flowering cherries are planted in 

 large numbers nowadays.' They are cer- 

 tainly beautiful when in full bloom, and 

 many of them are useful also as shade 

 trees. 



The ailanthus, or tree of heaven, is a 

 quick grower, with graceful tropical-look- 

 ing foliage. It makes a good shade tree, 

 especially in so far as it stands the smoke 

 and other atmospheric impurities of large 

 cities better than any other tree. 



OHIO NURSERYMEN DINE. 



The Miami Valley Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation met February 25 at the Phillips 

 House, in Dayton, O. Theodore Dens- 

 more, of Tippecanoe City, was chosen 

 president and William M. Scarff, of Yel- 

 low Springs, secretary. J. W. McNary, 

 of Dayton, Charles Peters, of Troy, M. 

 F. Barnes, of Hamilton, were chosen 

 as the executive committee. A ban- 

 quet was served in the evening. 



PRUNUS PISSARDL 



Prunus Pissardi is not, perhaps, as 

 brilliant in coloring as some of the 

 Japanese maples are for a few months 

 of the year, but it is in many respects 

 fully as worthy of consideration when 

 intending planters are in need of shrubs 

 or trees of dark red foliage. Prunus 

 Pissardi succeeds well in almost every 

 kind of soil and situation, although it 

 will not thrive well in a too shady place. 

 The foliage is almost purple from the 

 time it unfolds in early summer until 

 winter. 



When planted in groups and pruned 

 annually, handsome effects are easily pro- 

 duced with these trees, and likewise, if 

 planted singly they make beautiful and 

 uniqu6 lawn specimens. And still again, 

 they are equally well adapted for plant- 

 ing in shrubberies and closely together 

 in hedge form. M. 



PRIVET HEDGES. 



For sections of the country where 

 California privet will stand the winters, 

 there is nothing to compare with it for 

 quick and satisfactory results in the 

 making of a hedge. Although it may 

 be thought desirable to cut back privet 

 when it is newly planted as a hedge in 

 spring, if the plants are thrifty and 

 thoroughly well furnished with roots 

 and wood buds, there is really no neces- 

 sity for cutting them back. If quick 

 effect is no object, the hedge will be 

 made stronger if cut ba«k. 



When one object of a hedge is to fur- 

 nish resistance to intruders, it will be 

 well to plant a double row in the trench, 

 but if there is no such object in view, 

 and the only aim is to grow a handsome I 



hedge, one row_ will answer as well as 

 two. Success with hedges, like success 

 with almost everything else, depends 

 to a great extent on a good beginning, 

 both as to material and preparation. 

 If the hedge is to form a straight line, 

 a trench should he dug to a line with 

 accuracy. M. 



NEW ORLEANS. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety met February 20. Owing to the 

 necessity of a large attendance to dis- 

 cuss the plans for the chrysanthemum 

 exhibition, this matter went over to be 

 taken up at a special meeting to be 

 held the first Thursday in March. 



J. A. Newsham stated that he pur- 



poses to leave for Central America in 

 a few days to collect orchids. 



Kichard Eichling, grower for Uriah 

 Virgin, exhibited Roman and Italian 

 hyacinths and narcissi, lilies of the val- 

 ley and calla lilies. 



J. A. Newsham also showed fine and 

 extra large calla lilies. Paul Abele, for 

 Abele Bros., exhibited sweet peas grown 

 in the open in winter. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



Current Comment. 



The weather conditions last week were 

 unfavorable. There was low tempera- 

 ture, with snow or rain, and consequently 

 the cut was below the average. Business
