NURSERY NEWS. 



AMEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBYMEN. 



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

 chester. N. Y.; Vice-Pres., CM. Hobbs. Bridge- 

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

 N Y.: Treas.. C. L. Yates. Rochester, N. Y. The 

 34th annual convention will be held at Roches- 

 ter, June. 1909. 



W. F. SCHELL, of the Wichita Nursery 

 Co., Wichita, Kan., states that the com- 

 pany is starting a nursery near Floral, in 

 Cowley county, Kansas, where conditions 

 all are thought to be favorable. 



W. C. Beed, of Vincennes, Ind., has 

 been at Mobile, Ala., attending a meet- 

 ing of the classification committee of the 

 railroad lines west of the Mississippi to 

 oppose any changes in classification which 

 will effect an advance in freight rates on 

 nursery stock. Mr. Keed will remain in 

 the south for several weeks. 



The second annual convention of Ohio 

 nurserymen was held in Columbus, Jan- 

 uary 13, at which President J. W. Mc- 

 Nary, of Dayton, was reelected for the 

 ensuing year. The convention was con-> 

 eluded with an elaborate banquet at the 

 Northern hotel. A full representation 

 of the nurserymen of the state was 

 present. 



J. H. Hale says Vermont is the ideal 

 state for growing winter apples, because 

 of cheap lands, favorable climate and 

 nearness to the consumers. "There are 

 great apple possibilities all over New 

 England," says Mr. Hale, "but Ver- 

 mont can be the great apple state of the 

 Union if she will." Mr. Hale has in 

 the last few years planted to apples 

 several hundred acres of New England 

 hills. 



STRAWBERRY CULTURE. 



Are the ProKts Decreasing: ? 



Forty or fifty years ago the Wilson 

 strawberry was the leader in the straw- 

 berry field and about the only sure 

 cropper. A few other varieties were on 

 trial, but some bore sparingly and some 

 were barren. 



After a while the growers began to 

 talk a little botany, and to speak about 

 staminate and pistillate blossoms. It 

 came about in this way, as the story 

 goes: A man by the name of Longfel- 

 low, a grower in Cincinnati, 0., was 

 hoeing out his strawberry patch, and a 

 part of his work was to pull out a cer- 

 tain kind of blossoms, plant and all. 

 He threw some of the plants over the 

 fence into the street. An old French- 

 woman came along and asked permis- 

 sion to take some of the rejected plants.

Hardy Roses and Ramblers 



FOR FORCING= 



The right time to buy Roses is when they are fresh 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.

"Certainly," responded Mr. Longfel- 

 low, "but they are of no account, 

 madam." The old woman said they 

 were the male plants, and she planted 

 them among her plants, which needed a 

 fertilizer, and grew a large crop of fine 

 strawberries. 



About that time some growers went 

 into the business of producing new 

 varieties of staminate and pistillate 

 plants, or what they called male and 

 female plants. The female plant is 

 absolutely barren if planted alone, out 

 of reach of a fertilizer. The old Cres- 

 cent, the Bubach No. 5, the Enormous 

 and many other fine varieties are in this 

 class. Among the male plants, or the 

 fertilizers, as we call them, are the old 

 Wilson, the Captain Jack, the Charles 

 Downing and the Brandywine, and some 

 others are fair croppers if planted alone. 

 The old Wilson, now out of date in 

 flavor, was a good cropper. The Brandy- 

 wine, in California, is a world-beater, 

 with proper irrigation giving a fair crop 

 for eleven months in the year. Forty 

 years ago the harvest lasted from 

 twenty-four to twenty-eight days. Thirty

years ago the period of harvest began to 

 shorten. In five years the harvest lasted 

 only from eight to twelve days, and to- 

 day the strawberry grower is working at 

 his job with little profit. 



Is there any cure for this degenera- 

 tion! John G. Bubach, the originator 

 of Bubach 's No. 5, said it was lack of 

 fertilizing, as the honey bee was a fail-
