 Seasrer, Kocbester, N. T.; Trears., 0. L. Tates, 

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

 be beld at Milwaulcee, June 10 to 12, 1908. 



Otis G. Bassage, formerly with Brown 

 Bros. Co., Rochester, N. Y., is now with 

 the landscape department of C. E. Burr's 

 nursery at Manchester, Conn. 



Buyers of Pacific coast products will 

 find it worth while to keep watch of the 

 Pacific Coast Department, which is a 

 regular feature of the Review. 



The Greening Nursery Co., Monroe, 

 Mich., advertises "steam dug trees" in 

 local papers, as though the method of 

 digging were one to give added value to 

 the stock. 



Charles Klehm, of Klehm's Nurs- 

 ery, Arlington Heights, 111., says that 

 the spring business, both wholesale, re- 

 tail and landscaping, has been the heav- 

 iest they ever have had. 



The Beeville Nursery Co., Beeville, 

 Tex., is just starting in business, mak- 

 ing a specialty of Satsuma and Dugat 

 oranges, but also growing roses, ever- 

 greens and greenhouse stock. 



The protest of Maltus & Ware, New 

 York, on assessment of duty on ever- 

 green seedlings, has been sustained by 

 the general appraisers, following the de- 

 cision in the Ouwerkerk case. 



The interest of Frank H. Wild in 

 the Wild Bros. Nursery Co. has been 

 sold to his brother, Henry N. Wild, who, 

 with his two sons, Charles and Arthur, 

 will continue the business without mak- 

 ing any change in the name of the firm. 



The reports of a good season in the 

 nursery business are general. Almost 

 without exception the results are satis- 

 factory and in many cases the volume of 

 business was heavier than ever before, 

 but many report that orders averaged 

 smaller than last year. 



The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, re- 

 ports steady progress in its landscape 

 department. The experience has been 

 that it is only necessary to secure a 

 foothold — to show what can be done — 

 to secure considerable business in neigh- 

 borhoods where no landscaping has been 

 done. In one community of fifteen 

 country homes the execution of the first 

 order led to work on eleven other places. 



The holders of large stocks of peonies 

 appear to be of two minds as to the sea- 

 son's demand for plants for fall delivery. 

 Some are so sure that the peony has been 

 overdone that they are sacrificing their 

 stock, while others are equally confi- 

 dent that there will be a steadily increas- 

 ing demand for the best sorts, true to 

 name, and are bending their energies 

 toward roguing their rows during the 

 blooming season. 



STOP AT CHICAGO. 



The committee arranging for the com- 

 fort of the members of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen en route to 

 the Milwaukee convention have arranged 

 for accommodations at the Great North- 

 em hotel, corner Jackson boulevard and 

 Dearborn street, for those who may wish 

 to stop off in Chicago en route to Mil-
