 The 34th annual convention will oe taeld at Ro- 

 chester, June, 1909. 



Th'ebe will be none too many two-year- I 

 old cherry trees on the market noxt i 

 spring. j 



Dry weather is affecting the fruit i 

 crops and the buying power of the «>r- j 

 chardists. 



There is a first rate call for the better , 

 peonies for September delivery, almost 

 none at all for the now common sorts. 



The growth of nursery stock has not 

 been all that the average nurseryman 

 would like, on account of continued dry 

 weather. 



XuBSERYMEN as a rule are looking for- 

 ward to next spring as the banner year 

 for the business, especially in the west 

 and in ornamentals. 



The wholesale nurseries report that the 

 fall season will not fail to be a good one 

 — since storage houses have become a 

 part of the equipment of every up-to-date 

 nursery the fall deliveries by the whole- 

 salers have increased rapidly. 



Florists will do more fall planting of 

 nursery stock this year than they ever 

 did before, for they are gradually find- 

 ing out that ornamentals, and shrubbery 

 especially, make a fine side line for the 

 florist who has space for good specimens 

 on his home grounds. 



Those who do a large mailing trade 

 in plants shoiild be interested in a new 

 mailing tube recently put on the market 

 by the Standard Mfg. Co., Second and 

 Vino streets, Philadelphia. The tube is 

 split and of light but strong pasteboard; 

 strong enough to resist the pressure of 

 the mail bags. The tubes come in nests 

 of five sizes.
