NURSERY NEWS. 



AMEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTMSN. 

 Offlcen for 1909-10: Pres., F. H. Btannard, 

 Ottawa, Kan.; Vlce-Prea., W. P. Stark, Lonial- 

 aaa, Mo.j Sec'j, John Hall, Bocbaater, N. T.;

It is estimated that the orders for 

 spring delivery, booked by the retail 

 nurseries, are twenty-five per cent ahead 

 of last year at this date. 



The Richland Nursery Co., of Rich- 

 land, Wash., has been incorporated, with 

 a capital of $25,000. by C. F. Breithaupt, 

 J. H. James, J. C. Breithaupt and W. J. 

 Breithaupt. 



Staek Bros. Nurseries and Orchards 

 Co., Louisiana, Mo., made a display of 

 apples at the recent meeting of the Illi- 

 nois State Horticultural Society at Cham- 

 paign, attracting much attention. 



Growers of apple trees are looking 

 forward to a demand at least equal to 

 the supply for several years to come. 

 The supply of apple seedlings of the 

 better grades is decidedly short of the 

 needs of the trade this season. 



The wholesale nurseries are feeling 

 quite cheerful as a result of the strong 

 demand and better prices — the best prices 

 in some years. But good prices are nec- 

 essary; the cost of producing nursery 

 stock has advanced, along with the ad- 

 vance in costs in other lines. 



VESTERN NURSERYMEN MEET. 



The Western Association of Nursery- 

 men held a two days' convention at the 

 Coates House, Kansas City, December 

 21 and 22. Ofiicers were elected as fol- 

 lows: President, J. H. Skinner, Topeka; 

 vice-president, E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, 

 la.; secretary and treasurer, E. J. Hol- 

 man, Leavenworth, Kan. 



The principal business in addition to 

 the election was the making of arrange- 

 ments for the annual meeting of the Na- 

 tional Association of Nurserymen in Den- 

 ver in June of next year. The western 

 nurserymen will entertain the national 

 body. 



RHODODENDRONS. 



Parasitic Plants on the Roots. 



' ' Do not apply manure to rhododen- 

 dron.s, as there is a plant parasite that 

 grows on the roots, which plant is killed 

 by the manure, eventually causing the 

 death of the rhododendrons." 



This information, imparted to me a 

 few days ago by a practical nurseryman, 

 was so entirely antagonistic to my ob- 

 servations and practical experience of 

 over twenty years in propagating and 

 growing one of the largest stocks of rho- 

 dodendrons in Europe, that it caused me 

 to wonder if environment had any influ- 

 ence in changing the character and na- 

 ture of plants so much as to demand an 

 entire change of treatment. So far as I 

 have heretofore been informed, the only 

 plant supported by the root of the rhodo- 

 dendron is the rhododendron itself, and 

 the following case, which came under my 

 notice a few years ago, will go to prove 

 that they are benefited by the application 

 of manure. There was an avenue of over 

 1,500 plants which were turning yellow 

 and dropping their leaves to an alarming 

 extent. Being called to examine these

plants and to prescribe for their recovery, 

 and having ascertained that the drainage 

 was all right, I had them mulched six 

 inches deep with moss litter manure. This 

 was taken from stables where moss litter 

 was used for bedding horses, and, as you 

 will know from the absorbent nature of 

 the moss, it contained nearly all the urine 

 as well as the excretion of the animals, 

 making it one of the strongest natural 

 manures. This lay as a surface mulch 

 throughout the winter, and was forked 

 lightly into the soil in the spring, and I 

 can conscientiously say, from close and 

 careful observation, that the effects of 

 the above application were everything 

 that could be desired. These plants, for
