 Tbe 84tb annual convention will be beld at Ro- 

 cbeater, Juse, 1909. 



The Hutchinson Nursery, at Hutchin- 

 son, Minn., is erecting a new storage 

 house. 



The more white pine is planted the 

 more favorably it will be known as a re- 

 liable hardy evergreen, and a beautiful 

 one as well. 



In October magazines Peters' Nursery, 

 Knoxville, Tenn., is advertising field- 

 grown roses for fall planting. Fall 

 planting deserves every encouragement. 



The Hurricane Nursery Co. has been 

 incorporated at Hurricane, Utah, with a 

 capital stock of $5,000. Amos Work- 

 man, J. W. Imley, Charles A. Workman, 

 Jacob L. Workman and T. H. Hinton are 

 the directors. 



There appears to be again a growing 

 demand for Hydrangea paniculata. There 

 is a great deal of it used for decorative 

 work, especially at such resorts of the 

 wealthy as Newport, R. I., where it is, 

 they say, a common sight to see a grower 

 driving into the city with a wagon-load, 

 the whole to be used up in one decora- 

 tion. Standard specimen plants of this 

 hydrangea are gaining favor. 



The choice varieties of pecans, which 

 are now being propagated by budding 

 and grafting and are being planted so 

 largely in up-to-date orchards, are rarely 

 seen in the general market Many peo- 

 ple have never seen them and fewer still 

 have tested ^lem in comparison with the 

 nut from the common seedling. They 

 need to be seen, cracked and eaten in 

 order to appreciate their superiority. 



Buyers of fruit trees are sometimes 

 apt to blame nurserymen for the failure 

 of the trees to grow, when the cause is 

 plainly visible in their own neglect to 

 take reasonable care of the trees in keep- 

 ing the soil cultivated and free from 

 weeds and grass, at least during the first 

 season. It is idle to expect young fruit 

 trees to thrive when the ground is over- 

 run with a rank growth of grass or 

 weeds. 



If heavy rains are not forthcoming 

 before frost sets in, it will go hard with 

 young evergreens in many parts of the 

 country. Wherever it is possible to give 

 these water by artificial means, no time 

 should be lost in doing so, because there- 

 by many valuable young trees may be 

 saved. In several places hardy rhodo- 

 dendrons are already suffering severely 

 because of so long a spell of dry weather. 

 It may be well to go to the trouble and 

 expense of watering these also, especially 

 if there is grave danger of their not 

 surviving the coming winter. 



Forest experiment stations will soon 

 be established in a number of the states 

 of the west, according to plans which 

 h^ve just been completed by the United 

 States Forest Service. These new sta- 

 tions are expected to do the same for 

 the development of American forests as 

 a^jricultural experiment stations have 

 dpne for tbe improvement of the coun- 

 try's farms. As a first step in this 

 work an experiment station has already

EVERGREEN SEEDLINGS. 



The subject of duty on evergreen seed- 

 lings, which was gone into on the Ouwer- 

 kerk case, has been up again before the 

 United States General Appraisers. On 

 the protest of F. H. Shallus, Baltimore, 

 General Appraiser Waite made the fol- 

 lowing ruling: 



"On the authority of G. A. 6169 (the 

 Ouwerkerk case), certain rhododendrons, 

 evergreen seedlings, hollies, etc., were 

 held dutiable as evergreen seedlings 

 under paragraph 252, tariff act of 1897, 

 as claimed by the importers. An item 

 of azaleas was held to have been prop- 

 erly classified as such under paragraph 

 251." 



In a protest filed by Jackson & Per- 

 kins Co., Newark, N. Y., it was claimed 

 that holly plants, classified as evergreen
