 The 84th annual convention will be held at Ro- 

 chester, June, 1909. 



The prices of nursery stock on the 

 Pacific coast are in many instances lower 

 than last season. 



The sale for phlox increases every 

 fall and will this season again break all 

 records, for the finer varieties are now 

 reasonable in price. 



C. G. NiEMAN, of Port Clinton, O., who 

 has heretofore purchased his stock from 

 nurseries, has made arrangements to start 

 a nursery of his own. 



Irises are selling better this fall than 

 at any previous time, the public having 

 come to appreciate the merits of the 

 plant for beds and especially for bor- 

 ders. 



HoYT Bros., nurserymen at Scotch 

 Grove, la., put up a winter scene with 

 evergreens and imitation snow at the re- 

 cent fair at Monticello. The exhibit 

 made a hit. 



It is reported that the nursery busi- 

 ness of Kichard Smith & Co., Ltd., of 

 Worcester, England, is to be wound up, 

 in consequence of its having been carried 

 on at a loss the last few years. The 

 concern ranks among the historic busi- 

 nesses in the trade, and has a wide con- 

 nection, not only in its own country but 

 abroad, especially in the United States. 



BORERS IN MAPLES. 



One of my customers has a maple tree 

 that has a borer in it. They did not dis- 

 cover it until the leaves began to turn 

 yellow. Now they ask me what to do. 

 Is it best to cut the bark and follow him 

 around the tree until found? He seems 

 to be eating just under the bark and 

 around the tree. What treatment should 

 be given the tree and what prospects 

 of saving it! B. P. 



The best way to kill borers in shade 

 trees is to pour a few drops of carbon 

 bisulphide in the hole where they have 

 entered and immediately plug up the cav- 

 ity with putty to keep the fumes in. 

 The carbon will soon suffocate the borers. 

 This is a better and decidedly more sim- 

 ple plan than digging for the pest, which 

 takes up considerable time and is not 

 always successful. W. N. Craig. 



POINTS AT PETERSON'S. 



At the Peterson Nursery, Chicago, at- 

 tention is divided between the peonies, 

 just now being shipped in large quanti- 

 ties, and the condemnation proceedings 

 started by the Chicago Drainage Board, 

 which is taking forty-seven acres out of 

 the nursery for the north branch of the 

 great drainage canal. Instead of going to 

 court, William A. Peterson and the board 

 agreed that three arbitrators should set- 

 tle the damages and value of the land 

 taken, and that judgment against the 

 drainage board should be entered for the 

 amount the arbitrators determined upon. 

 The board contends that the nursery is to 

 be valued as farm lands at about $700 

 to $800 per acre, while Mr. Peterson as- 

 serts that it is city property, on which

he has paid city taxes for police, fire, 

 school and library purposes for twenty 

 years or more, and values the property at 

 $1,500 per acre. The arbitrators have 

 spent three weeks trying to decide on a 

 value, but their lack of success may be 

 in part due to the fact that they are 

 being paid $50 a day for their labors. 

 If the salary was not so good they might 

 get together quicker. 



Mr. Peterson says the sales of peony 

 roots this year beat all records except 

 those of three years ago, but that the 

 sales are almost all to dealers, or through 

 the landscape department. Few orders
