W. B. Otwell, Carlinvillc, 111., says he 

 is going to quit the nursery business be- 

 cause his time is fully occupied with 

 other things. 



The Washington Street Nursery Co., 

 of Geneva, N. Y., has certified to the 

 Secretary of State that it has changed 

 its name to the Ontario Nursery Co., Inc. 



The nurseries that have established 

 landscaping departments find it more 

 difficult to get competent help than to 

 get orders. The number of small con- 

 tracts is multiplying \Yith great rapidity. 



The American Horticultural Co., Chi- 

 cago, has been incorporated with $5,000 

 authorized capital stock to do land- 

 scape gardening and to deal in horti- 

 cultural products. The incorporators are 

 John C. Abbott, William H. O'Brien and 

 J. W. Butler. 



The parking commission of New 

 Orleans, La., has accepted the city's 

 tender of eight acres of ground near the 

 Melpomene pumping station, to be used 

 as a municipal tree nursery. Edward 

 Baker, ex-superintendent of Audubon 

 park, has been appointed superintendent 

 of the nursery, with a salary of $150 per 

 month. 



They call D. S. Lake the Phil Armour 

 of Shenandoah, out in Iowa. The Lake 

 Nurseries, which are now the largest in- 

 dustry of the town, were established in 

 1870, on what was then prairie land, 

 located on the hillsides south of the 

 famous Nishnabotna valley. Starting 

 with only a few acres of land and no 

 improvements to speak of, the business 

 lias grown under the same management 

 to a plant of over 600 acres, with every 

 modern equipment. Business was very 

 heavy last fall, although muddy weather 

 at times forced all the hands from the 

 fields to the indoor Avork. The pay roll 

 last week was ninety-nine. )They are 

 shipping stock right along. Immense 

 quantities of apple seedlings go to the 

 great apple growing valleys of Oregon, 

 Washington and Idaho. 



GERMANS SET MINIMUM PRICE. 



The Confederation of German Nursery- 

 men sets a minimum price on fruit trees, 

 and the plan works so well that it is pur- 

 posed to extend the list. 



At a meeting at Dresden it was stated 

 that the circle of the branch societies is 

 now complete for the whole of Germany. 

 In Baden the union of the traders had 

 become loosened, but under the direction 

 of a more energetic president, a fresh 

 start has been made, and forty-five mem- 

 bers announced their adhesion at once. 

 The Alsatians joined the Confederation, 

 but the Lorrainers refused to join it. The 

 business done at the central station with 

 the single branches is steadily on the up- 

 grade. Difficulties are examined, disputes 

 adjusted, -differences of opinion made 

 clear; questions concerning every branch 

 of nursery work and management come 

 constantly under its purview.

 prices for nursery articles, H. Stern-

Brockhau stated that the minimum price 

 arrangements had withstood the test 

 during the last two years, and proved its 

 value. A book furnishes price lists of 

 articles hitherto in force, and likewise a 

 proposed lowest price list for fruit trees, 

 fruit bushes, shrubs and avenue trees, in 

 three classes; also a list of Union prices 

 for sale to retailers. 



MANURE FOR RHODODENDRONS. 



I have read J. W. B. 's interesting ar- 

 ticle on rhododendrons and, like him, 

 would be glad to know more about the 

 parasitic plant that grows on the roots 

 and is killed by any manure applied.

The finest lot of rhododendrons it was 

 ever my privilege to see in England, that 

 country where rhododendrons revel, were 

 planted in loam to which was added a 

 little peat and plenty of moss litter 

 manure. The growth made by these 

 plants- was simply marvelous, and they 

 were and are the envy of all who behold 

 them while in bloom. 



The old theory about the indispen- 

 sability of peat for these plants is long 

 ago shattered, and it has been proven 

 time and time again that thoy will grow 

 fully as well in good loam, especially if
