Cherry isn't as scarce as it has been 

 some seasons. 



W. A. Peterson is the only landscape 

 man of the campus commission of the 

 Northwestern University. 



Orlando Harrison, of Berlin, Md., 

 says the nurseryman is the hardest 

 worked man you will find; hardest 

 worked both physically and mentally. 



Not a few nurserymen, for one reason 

 or another, have become orchardists as 

 well, usually to their advantage finan- 

 cially as well as educationally. 



Charles F. Scott, of Kansas, is chair- 

 ' man of the congressional committee on 

 agriculture that has before it the bill 

 for the inspection of foreign-grown nur- 

 sery stock. 



Any florist who will plant some of the 

 best modern lilacs in his home grounds 

 will find that the plants in bloom will 

 bring a most gratifying number of 

 orders. 



The Illinois Outdoor Improvement As- 

 sociation has issued a pamphlet by Jens 

 Jensen, Chicago, entitled "Improving a 

 Small Country Place," reprinted from 

 one of the general magazines. 



All the wholesale nurserymen are an- 

 ticipating a first-class clean-up this 

 spring, and are asking good prices for 

 many items, but there appears to be an 

 excellent supply of stock in the storage 

 houses. 



Apple orcharding in the west and 

 northwest promises to increase rapidly 

 for years. Until the supply of fruit re- 

 duces the price to much less than it now 

 is in the city markets, hundreds of thou- 

 sands of trees will be called for each 

 season. 



J. B. Mayheav, the well known nur- 

 seryman at Waxahachie, Tex,, thinks that 

 guaranteeing nursery stock to live is 

 wrong, both in principle and practice; he 

 says the custom is responsible for a large 

 part of the troubles that beset the trade 

 and become a serious matter after such 

 an extremely dry spring as that of last 

 year.

MINNEAPOLIS. 



There has not been much doing in the 

 line of receptions, etc., since Lent began. 

 Small sales are the vogue, including sim- 

 ple flowers for the home or a bunch of 

 violets to wear, with an occasional small 

 dinner decoration. These, with funeral 

 work, occasion but little demand. The 

 bright weather has brought out a fine lot 

 of stock and helped along the Easter 

 stock, so that there cannot be much draw- 

 back between now and the time the sales 

 will begin.
