 in circumference and thirty-eight inches 

 high. It was grown on the estate of 

 Arthur Whitin, Whitiusville, Mass., where

 Howden follows with his evergreens is

 before the ground freezes and later put 

 on a mulch of old leaves. It is well

known that dryness at the root causes 

 the death of thousands of evergreens 

 every year; far more die from this cause 

 than from the severity of the frost. For 

 fertilizer, bone and wood ashes are used. 

 This tends to make the growths firm and 

 they are thereby the better able to with- 

 stand the severe New England winters.

MEXICANS INVADE TEXAS. 



Mexican nurseries are now making an 

 effort to invade Texas. From the De- 

 partment of Agriculture it is learned that 

 there are quite a number of Mexican nur- 

 series, or gardens as they are termed in 

 Mexico, that want to do business in Texas. 

 Mexico has no nursery inspection law, 

 consequently it has become necessary for

the Texas department to send over a rep- 

 resentative to make an investigation of 

 the nursery that wants to come into Texas, 

 l)efore a permit is issued. Eecently the 

 Department has received a number of 

 inquiries from Mexican nurserymen that 

 want to sell their product in Texas. In 

 order that they may come in, the Depart- 

 ment has appointed Harvey C. Stiles, of 

 Raymondville, to proceed to Mexico and 

 make the necessary inspection. 



INSPECTOR ASKS HELP. 



Commissioner of Agriculture Kone has 

 addressed to the nurserymen, florists and 

 dealers of Texas a letter asking them 

 to cooperate with the department in try- 

 ing to get efficient nursery inspection and 

 to report promptly any diseases found by 

 them among the nursery stock which are 

 harmful. The letter follows: 



To the Nurserymen, Florists and Dealers of 

 Texas: Greetings — This department solicits the 

 cooperation of our Texas nurserymen, florists 

 and dealers in the control and elimination of 

 Insect pests and fungous diseases of nursery 

 stock, and especially of propagation of stocks. 



It is tbe purpose of this Department to make 

 our nursery Inspection law mean something. 

 For that reason I am making this appeal, per- 

 sonally, to each one receiving this letter, that 

 they carefully Inspect all nursery stock received
