OtBcerB f or 1908- 9: Pres., Charles J. Brown, Ro- 

 chester, N. Y.: Vioe-PreB.,0 M. Hobbs, Bridge-

 The 84th annual nonventioD will De held at Ro- 

 chester, June, 1909. 



C. W. Stuart, Newark, N. Y., met 

 with a bad fall June 25, when a runaway 

 horse collided with the buggy in which 

 Mr. Stuart was riding. His collar bone 

 and two ribs on the left side were broken. 



Thkre are in the United States about 

 twenty-five kinds of nut-bearing trees 

 which are notable for their beauty as 

 well as their valuable products, not only 

 of food, but of the high priced timber 

 thev furnish as well. 



A NURSERY firm at Nice, France, re- 

 cently organized a grafting competition 

 for workmen in the district. Each com- 

 petitor was allotted so many rows of 

 stocks and bundles of scions to corre- 

 spond, the prize8j.g9ipg to the operator 

 who put on the largest number of grafts 

 successfully in a given time. Sufficient 

 interval was allowed between the compe- 

 tition and the awarding of prizes to en- 

 able the judges to see which grafts were 

 alive, no allowance being made for the 

 unsuccessful ones. 



During a heavy thunder shower on the 

 night of June 27 the immense barn of 

 the Sherman Nursery Co., Charles City, 

 la., was fired by a bolt of lightning. 

 About twenty head of stock was in the 

 bam at the time, besides the harness, 

 etc. Five horses and three mules were 

 burned and all other property. The 

 building was totally destroyed. Loss on 

 barn is $4,000, and $1,600 insurance was 

 carried on the barn, grain, implements, 

 etc. None of the horses was insured, 

 and the total loss will be about $8,000. 

 The building was of the most mod- 

 em style and will be replaced at once. 



J. M. Buchanan, manager of the 

 Whitesboro Fruit Co., Whitesboro, Tex., 

 of which E. W. Kirkpatrick is president, 

 says that they sprayed peach trees with a 

 mixture of arsenate of lead in the pro- 

 portion of three pounds of the lead to 

 fifty gallons of Bordeaux mixture. It 

 simply cooked the young peaches on the 

 trees and did much injury to the trees. 

 All of the leaves fell off and many of the 

 smaller twigs died. Explaining it, he 

 says : ' ' We had a flattering prospect 

 for a large crop of peaches, but only had 

 retained on the trees a few peaches. The 

 trees that were left for experiment, to see 

 what the effect was, had lost few of the 

 fruits and matured well, considering the 

 season. I doubt if the trees so treated 

 will produce any fruit buds for next sea- 

 son 's crop. We have had a wet season 

 this year and the acting state entomolo- 

 gist thinks thai this is somewhat the 

 cause of the disaster. ' ' 



LATE FLOWERING LILACS. 



Can you give me the names of three or 

 four varieties of lilacs which are late 

 bloomers, so much so that in our Colo- 

 rado climate the flower buds would not 

 start development until May 1 ?

As the various named sorts of Syringa 

 vulgaris will probably bloom too early 

 for you, it will be better to plant such

varieties as S. Josiksea, or Hungarian 

 lilac ; S. Chinensis, or Rouen lilac ; S. 

 Persica, or Persian lilac ; and S. villosa, 

 or Himalayan lilac. The last named 

 sort blooms about two weeks later than 

 the forms of S. vulgaris. The tree lilacs, 

 S. Pekinensia and S. Japonica, which 

 carry immense panicles of creamy white 

 flowers, attain a height of fifteen to 

 twenty-five feet and bloom profusely 

 after being planted a few years. Their 

 season is a month later than S. vulgaris. 

 Of the numerous forms of this latter 

 lilac, we find Mme. Lemoine, double, pure 

 white, lasts longer than any other we 

 have grown. W. N. Craig.
