 Tbe 84tb annual convention will be beld at Ro- 

 obeiter, June, 1909. 



The farmers still are buying fruit 

 trees, but the orders almost all include 

 »ome ornamentals. 



C. J. Brown, of Brown Bros. Co., 

 Rochester, and president of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, has re- 

 turned from a European trip. 



The tree business in the west this fall 

 is reported as more active than in the 

 east, where the large landscape jobs are 

 slow in developing into orders. 



The nurseries now nearly all, if they 

 handle anything besides fruit trees, have 

 a line of hardy herbaceous stock and 

 find good profit in it. Phlox is one of 

 the best selling items. 



Benjamin Chase, Derry, N. H., has 

 been called to southern California, where 

 Mrs. Chase, who is visiting a married 

 daughter, has been taken , ill and must 

 undergo an immediate surgical opera- 

 tion. 



The tariff committee of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen is pre- 

 paring to put in its oar when the vic- 

 torious political party undertakes the 

 revision of the tariff in the next con- 

 gress. Irving Rouse, of Rochester, is 

 chairman. 



There are now 160,000 acres of 

 planted trees in central Kansas, where 

 at one time it was thought that trees 

 could not be grown. As the area in 

 which agricultural crops can be profita- 

 bly grown is steadily extending, so the 

 limit of forest planting and tree cul- 

 ture is widening always. 



In the municipal court of Rochester, 

 N. Y., recently, there was called before 

 Judge Murphy the case of the Charlton 

 Nursery Co. against Levi C. Weir, as 

 president of the Adams Express Co. 

 The nursery people had asked $25 dam- 

 ages for goods alleged to have been 

 damaged during shipment. Judgment 

 for $30.69 was taken by default. The 

 case will probably be appealed. 



Corporations and private citizens 

 throughout New England are beginning 

 to realize the opportunities which this 

 region offers for profitable forest plant- 

 ing. This year about 2,500 acres have 

 been planted in the six New England 

 states by private citizens. In addition, 

 a number of water companies have 

 adopted a forest policy. The largest 

 plantation of this character, which com- 



£ rises over 1,000 acres, belongs to the 

 [etropolitan Water and Sewerage Board 

 of Clinton, Mass. 



OLMSTED'S WAY. 



Fred L. Olmsted, the landscape archi- 

 tect, has been down at New Haven re- 

 modeling or relaying the main college 

 campus, and as a result Yale men say 

 that one can actually get lost on it. An- 

 cient paths have been ruthlessly ploughed 

 up and sown with grass seed and new 

 paths have been laid out which look 

 strange to the sons of Eli. The" 'Yale 

 authorities have for a long time sighed

for greenswards on the campus and have 

 spent large sums of money urging Yale 

 men "to keep off the grass." Olmsted 

 was sent for this summer, and he said: 

 "One way to preserve grass is to lay 

 paths where people want to go. You can 

 ascertain this by studying the paths worn 

 on the sod that was. Make these paths 

 official and dig up the ones laid out." 

 That has been done. The theory will 

 now receive demonstration.
