The Graham Nursery Co., at Mechanics- 

 ville, la., is erecting an up-to-date store- 

 house with a large cellar, to replace the 

 buildings lost in the fire of July 10. 



S. Imura, president of the Alvin Japa- 

 nese Nursery Co., at Alvin, Tex., has been 

 spending his vacation in Japan. He and 

 Mrs. Imura are expected to return this 

 week. 



August 12 was the wedding day of 

 Albert W. Lief green, manager of the El 

 Paso Nursery Co., at El Paso, Tex. Miss 

 Catherine A. Burns, of Denver, was the 

 bride. 



! Beport of the petition in bankruptcy 

 filed by M. W. Needham, proprietor of the 

 Waco Nurseries, at Waco, Tex., will be 

 found under the heading "Business Em- 

 barrassments" in this issue. 



The extensiott-- of the line of the To- 

 ledo, Ottawa Beach & Northern railway 

 to the Greening Nursery Co., just soxit^ 

 of the t;ity limits* Of Monroe, Mich., is 

 expected to be a business bringer for the 

 nursery concern. 



The prediction is made by some of 

 those who hope it will not prove true that 

 the prices of Holland nursery stock will 

 go down under the weight of heavy fall 

 shipments, whatever French and English 

 stock may do. 



A greenhouse, 25 X 100 feet, has just 

 been erected at Yule 's Landscape Nursery, 

 145 North Thirty-third street, Lincoln, 

 Neb. The John C. Moninger Co., Chi- 

 cago, furnished the material. At this 

 nursery hardy flowers, shrubbery and orna- 

 mentals are grown. 



From recent business experiences W. 

 E. Fryer, proprietor of the Dodge Coun- 

 ty Nursery, Mantorville, Minn., has 

 come to the opinion that the fall and 

 spring trade will suffer from the Eu- 

 ropean war if it continues long, from 

 the financial stringency if from nothing 

 else. 



The nursery business is evidently 

 looked upon by those outside the trade 

 as a more profitable one than some of 

 those who are inside will admit it to be. 

 As evidence, one might cite, the names 

 of wealthy men who have invested their 

 money in this line. The latest is Wil- 

 liam J. Moxley, the man whom butterine 

 made a congressman, who paid $9,000 for 

 the Phoenix Nursery Co., at Delavan, 

 Wis. The nursery is well stocked and 

 has an established business. Ex-con- 

 gressman Moxley has a summer home on 

 Delavan lake and naturally has an in- 

 terest in the town.

Walnut trees are the specialty of S. 

 Maingueneau, proprietor of the Sunset 

 Nurseries, near San Jose, Cal., and his 

 success with grafting this stock has come 

 from long experimentation. It is said 

 that 11,000 trees in his nursery represent 

 ninety-six per cent of the scions that were 

 set. Mr. Maingueneau looks forward to a 

 good season. 



MONTANA U\.W A DEAD LETTER. 



Supreme Court Decision Voids Act. 



In knocking the bottom out of the 

 Montana inspection law, which forbids 

 any person to engage in the business 

 of importing nursery stock, etc., into 

 the state without first obtaining a li- 

 cense, for which a $25 fee is to be 

 charged, the Montana Supreme Court 

 decided several interesting points af- 

 fecting such laws. The decision was 

 handed down in the case of Welch vs. 

 Dean, 141 Pacific Eeporter 548. The 

 first point decided in the case is that 

 although power to regulate interstate 



commerce is vested in Congress, "the 

 several states have reserved to them- 

 selves the police power, and any rea- 

 sonable regulation exercised i-nder 

 that power may be enforced a^^iingt 

 one engaged in interstate commerce 

 whenever he transacts his busino s in 

 this state, even though it might inter- 

 fere indirectly with such commerce. 

 But, under the guise of enforcing 

 police regulations, the state may not 

 exact impossible conditions to the 

 right to engage in such Tausiness, or 

 impose burdens which amount directly 

 to a regulation of it. " The main point 

 decided in the case is that defemlant, 

 the state horticulturist, was not justi- 

 fied in refusing to issue certificates of 

 inspection covering a shipment of 

 nursery stock which was made by 

 plaintiff from Shenandoah, la., to Chil- 

 cott, Mont., although plaintiff had not 

 taken out a license as required by the 

 law above mentioned. This decision 

 proceeds upon two distinct grounds: 

 (1) There is nothing in the law which 

 justifies refusal of a certificate of in- 

 spection because applicant may not 

 have taken out a license. (2) No li- 

 cense is necessary because the law 

 fails to provide where the same shall 

 be obtained. The Montana Supreme 

 Court says on these two points: 



Inspector's Authority Limited. 



"In the present instance, the in- 

 spector was in error in refusing the 



Headquarters for 



Piivel HeM 



A full balf-million plants for the comioff autnmli and 

 next spring's shipments. The grades I have to offer are:

3- year 3to4 feet

All are well branched, bright and clean. The 2 and 3-year grades have 

 been cut back one or more times.
