AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NCRSEBTMEN. 



Officers for 1908-9: Pres., Oharles J. Brown. Ro- 

 chester, N. Y.; Vlce-Pres., C. M. Hobbs, Bridge- 

 Sort, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seager, Rochester, 

 [. Y.; Treas.. C. L. Yates. Rochester, N. Y. The 

 34th annual convention will be held at Roches- 

 ter, June, 1909. 



W. P. Gibson, a Calif ornian, will start 

 a nursery at Phoenix, Ariz. 



B. F. Blount has been in the nursery 

 business at Eagle Lake, Fla., for twenty- 

 five years, growing citrus stock. 



Growers of ornamentals express every 

 confidence that 1909 will prove a better 

 year than any heretofore experienced 

 in that department of the nursery busi- 

 ness. 



The Globe Nursery Co., of Bristol, 

 Tenn., which conducts a nursery at Wyn- 

 dale, Washington county, Va., has pur- 

 chased a farm near Blountville, Tenn., 

 paying for it $25,000. The farm con- 

 tains 500 acres and will be used for nur- 

 sery purposes. 



The apple growers complain of un- 

 satisfactory market conditions, but when 

 the city housewife finds a peck of 

 Northern Spy or Baldwin, costing 50 

 cents to 60 cents at the corner grocery, 

 contains not one perfect fruit, can you 

 blame her for thinking the consumer is 

 the one who has a kick coming? 



INSECTS ATTACKING CONIFERS. 



Some species of conifers are liable to 

 attack from different insect pests. Dur- 

 ing the last two or three years, the arbor- 

 vitae has been infested by a small cater- 

 pillar which bores into the tips of the 

 young twigs and turns them yellow and 

 rusty, and soon gives the whole tree a 

 very sickly appearance. It is said to be 

 a serious pest in some parts of Canada. 

 Dr. James Fletcher, entomologist of the 

 Experimental Farms in Canada, gave a 

 brief account of it in the annual report 

 of the Experimental Farms for 1906. 

 Dr. Fletcher states that large numbers 

 of parasites a,re found active in connec- 

 tion with the insect and there is every 

 reason to believe the outbreak will soon 

 come to an end. John Dunbar, of Boch- 

 ester, in an address before the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society, said he 

 had seen its ravages in natural arbor- 

 vita plantations in western New York. 

 "I do not know to what extent it prevails 

 in this country," he said, "as the account 

 in the Canadian report is the first pub- 

 lished description I have seen of it. 

 From the nature of its operations it can 

 be seen that it is difficult to deal with 

 by any spraying methods." 



The mite known to gardeners as red 

 spider is a serious pest of some spruces 

 and junipers in many parts of this coun- 

 try. It is always worse in a dry season. 

 It can be readily controlled where there 

 is a strong pressure of water under com- 

 mand, applied with a hose, but that is 

 rarely available. Water applied with a 

 hose from a powerful spray pump will 

 dislodge it. John F. Johnston, superin- 

 tendent of Paul Dana's estate in Long 

 Island, who is an expert cultivator of 

 conifers, has lately been using sulphur 

 to destroy it on spruces and junipers. He 

 blows it on with a bellows in the morn- 

 ing when the dew is on the branches, fol- 

 lowed at intervals throughout the sum-

^rOR FORCING 



I'he right time to buy Roses is when they are fre'sb and well-ripened. Roses potted up 

 in the Fall or late Winter become better established and force better, and are far more 

 satisfactory in every way, and you can retard or force at your leisure. We recommend the 

 American-grown "Ramblers." Don't attempt to force imported Ramblers; the general 

 experience is that they are failures.
