NURSERY NEWS.

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

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

 Seager, Rochester, N. Y.; Treas., C. L. Yates, 

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

 be held at Milwaukee, June, 1908. 



S. G. Nelson, of Swain Nelson & 

 Sons, Chicago, has taken the order for 

 landscape plans in connection with the 

 proposed park work at Waterloo, la. 



A HORTICULTURAL congress is to be 

 held at Council Bluffs, la., December 

 19 and 20. A national apple exhibition 

 is planned and the cooperation of nurs- 

 erymen is sought. 



The Devils Lake Nursery has been in- 

 corporated at Devils Lake, N. D., with a 

 capital stock of $5,000. The incorpo- 

 rators are John W. Maher, Henry Hale 

 and J. E. Maher. all of Devils Lake. 



More than 200 named varieties of the 

 common lilac have been produced by 

 hybridists, the new varieties far sur- 

 passing the parent kind in range of bril- 

 liant colors, double flowers, size of the 

 clusters and other characteristics. 



The nurseries which have landscape 

 departments report good business this 

 season— if anything, better than in pre- 

 vious years. This part of the business 

 is sure of large development in capable 

 hands, especially in the middle west. 



The Storrs & Harrison Co., Paines- 

 ville, O., is making preparations for 

 added water supply. There are several 

 large storage tanks about the nursery 

 and a four horse-power pumping engine 

 has just been purchased of the Standard 

 Pump & Engine Co., Cleveland, to pump 

 water from the river for the system. It 

 replaces a two horse-power machine pre- 

 viously used. 



The National Council of Horticulture 

 says in its press service that the Amoor 

 lilac is one of the showy varieties which 

 should have more general favor. It is 

 a tall, slender shrub, ten to twelve feet 

 in height, which unfolds its leaves early 

 in the spring and produces large clus- 

 ters of yellowish white flowers early in 

 June. It retains its deep green foliage 

 well through the season. 



John J. Duncan, the nurseryman of 

 Minneapolis, Minn., recently spent three 

 weeks in Texas, looking for a suitable 

 location for the establishment of a nurs- 

 ery there, and it is reported that he has 

 now secured an option on a large tract 

 of land at Beaumont, Jefferson county, 

 on the coast of the Gulf. It is said that 

 he will return to Beaumont in June and 

 will then decide whether to remove to 

 the southern state. Mr. Duncan thinks 

 that the greatest market for tiie nursery- 

 man will be on the Gulf coast for nmny 

 years to come. 



THE SEEDLESS APPLE FAILURE. 



Under order of common pleas court, 

 Keceiver (Jeorge W. Welles, of the .\Iicii- 

 igan Spencer Seedless Apple Co., ofi'ered

 organized by L. H. Hamilton about three 

 years ago, following the experiments of 

 the western horticulturist named Spencer. 

 At that time companies were organized in 

 various states. The Toledo concern pur- 

 chased land in Pcrrysburg and West To- 

 ledo and opened large nurseries.
