Officers for 1909-10: Pres.. P. H. Stannard. 

 Ottawa, Kan.; Vice-Pres., W. P. Stark, Louisiana, 

 Mo.; Secy., Geo. C. Seager, Roohester. N. Y.: 

 Treas.. O. L. Yates. Rochester, N.Y. Thirty-fifth 

 annual meeting, Denver, June, 1910. 



The Kentucky Nursery Co., of Louis- 

 ville, Ky., is increasing its capital stock 

 from $30,000 to $40,000. 



AuBEEY Frink, formerly of Mac- 

 clenny, Fla., has become manager of the 

 Tennessee Wholesale Nurseries, at Win- 

 chester. 



The Wooster Nursery Co., Wooster, 

 O., has leased the building now occupied 

 by the Wooster Brush Works, and will 

 occupy it in a short time. 



Henry Field has about decided that 

 he will not undertake to wholesale the 

 recently purchased H. A. Terry peonies, 

 believing he has a retaU outlet for them 

 at much better prices. 



Wholesale nurserymen are counting 

 that the approaching autumn will give 

 them the best fall season ever expe- 

 rienced, while everyone is looking for a 

 record-breaker in the spring of 1910. 



From Lafayette, Colo., comes word that 

 Peter Schroeder and A. M. Schroeder 

 no longer have oflScial connection with 

 the Schroeder-Son Nursery Co. They ex- 

 pect to open an office in Denver in a few 

 weeks. 



Quite a few eastern nurserymen and 

 florists have visited the Alaska-Yukon- 

 Pacific Exposition at Seattle this sum- 

 mer, and all speak highly of the land- 

 scape plan and the horticultural features 

 it embraced. 



William A. Peterson, proprietor of 

 Peterson Nursery, Chicago, states that 

 on the whole the season has been a favor- 

 able one for peonies, good growth having 

 been made. The digging and shipping 

 of peony roots will begin next week. 



The Southern Nurserymen's Associ- 

 ation was in session at Huntsville, Ala., 

 last week. H. B. Chase was the pre- 

 siding officer. Besides the usual pro- 

 gram of talks on business topics, the 

 principal events were visits to the big 

 nurseries of the neighborhood. 



Augustine & Co., of Normal, 111., say 

 that they expect an unusually large de- 

 mand for their nursery stock this year. 

 It is probable, they think, that growers 

 and shippers will do a heavier business 

 than for several years. There is a great 

 demand for fruit trees, and the stock in 

 many localities is scarce. 



A NEW concern has been started at 

 New Haven, Conn., to be known as the 

 New Haven Nurseries. Besides growing 

 and selling hardy nursery stock, it will 

 do general and landscape gardening. Al- 

 fred T. Ostermann is president and Louis 

 A. Soldan is manager and treasurer. The 

 latter was formerly with the Elm City 

 Nursery. 



The appointment of W. P. Stark, 

 Louisiana, Mo., as chairman of the 

 transportation committee of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, was a 

 wise move on the part of President Stan- 

 nard. The Stark concern has probably a 

 more elaborately organized and thor- 

 oughly equipped traffic department than 

 any other nursery in the United States.

F. A. Balleb says the only trouble 

 with the peony business is that the plants 

 multiply too rapidly. 



The eastern nurseries all deplore the 

 drought. It has been almost without 

 precedent, and it has retarded growth.

best white varieties in its large collection 

 of peonies. It is one of the French sorts, 

 originating with Calot and introduced in 

 1872. It is a midseason bloomer, with 

 large, ivory white flowers on long, strong 

 stems, and many peony authorities in- 

 dorse Mr. Wild's statement that it is an 

 extra good sort for florists' use for cut 

 flowers. 



VORMS ON SHADE TREES. 



I am sending you a specimen of a 

 worm which is giving us a lot of trouble. 

 The worm in this part of Missouri works 

 mostly on box elder, soft maple and dif- 

 ferent kinds of evergreens. I should

like to know the name of the worm, 

 where it originates and what is the best 

 way to get rid of it. It seems to stay 

 in its shell and keep eating. Sometimes 

 it will hang down from the tree by a 

 web and then draw itself up again. 

 When there are many on a tree they 

 completely strip it. S. C. C. 



I could not tell from the dried speci- 

 men received what the pest troubling 

 your tree is. There are four stages in 

 the life history of all these pests: First, 

 the eggs, usually deposited on the foliage 

 or bark of trees; second, the worms or 

 caterpillars, which do the real damage; 

 third, the chrysalis or pupa, in wMch 

 stage the majority of them pass the win- 

 ter, and lastly the moth, butterfly or 

 beetle stage. In some cases the worms 

 are hatched in late summer and pass the 

 winter in nests on the trees. We have 

 one case of this in Massachusetts in the 

 destructive brown tail moth. 



The most effective remedy for cater- 

 pillars on trees is spraying the foliage 

 as soon as it is unfolded. The attacks 

 usually commence with the expanding of 

 the leaves, and to save trees from b«ing 

 stripped the trees must be sprayed with 

 a poisonous substance, taking special care 

 to cover the under surface of the leaves. 

 In this state, Massachusetts, the poison
