AHBBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTHEN. 



Officers for 1908- 9; Pres., Charles J. Brown, Ro- 

 chester, N. Y.: Vice-Pres.,C. M. Hobbs, Bridge-

 The 34th annual convention Mrill be held at Ro- 

 chester, June, 1909. 



A NEW nursery firm has begun busi- 

 ness in Monroe, Mich., with Cormac J. 

 McCormiek as the general manager. It 

 is said that the organization is backed 

 by ample capital and is sure to succeed. 

 Mr. McCormiek was with the Greening 

 Nursery Co., of Monroe, for ten years, 

 and was also editor of the Horticulturist. 



C. E. Snydee, of Preston, Minn., is not 

 exactly building a five-story office, but it 

 stands nearly as high as most of the 

 city skyscrapers, owing to its location 

 opposite his residence on Summit avenue 

 overlooking his nursery grounds and with 

 a fine view of the surrounding country. 

 His growing business makes an office im- 

 perative and it is thought that the time 

 is not far distant when he will erect some 

 extensive greenhouses as well.

ELLW ANGER WILL SUIT. 



After a litigation extending over a 

 year and a half and involving the larg- 

 est estate which has ever figured in a 

 contest in Surrogate Court in Monroe 

 County, New York, Helen C. and Mar- 

 garet EUwanger have won their title to 

 a large share in the estate of their 

 grandfather, George EUwanger, the well- 

 known pioneer nurseryman, of Rochester, 

 who left an estate of several million dol- 

 lars. 



Surrogate Selden S. Brown has denied 

 probate to the second codicil of the EU- 

 wanger will, which cut the two grand- 

 children off with a small portion of the 

 estate and gave the greater part of it to 

 the two sons of the testator. He sus- 

 tains the original will and the first 

 codicil. "i- 



As the result of Surrogate Brown's 

 decision, Helen and Margaret EUwanger 

 will each receive about $250,000, in- 

 stead of about $30,000, which would 

 have been theirs had the codicil been 

 admitted to probate. The shares of 

 George H. EUwanger and William D. 

 EUwanger wUl be correspondingly re- 

 duced. 



Surrogate Brown sustains both the 

 contentions of the contestants, that 

 George EUwanger was of unsound mind 

 when he added the second codicil to the 

 wiU and that he was influenced in cut-
