With the permission of the court, 

 James H. Fraser, receiver for the Mon- 

 tana Nursery Co., of Billings, Mont., has 

 sold the nursery packing j)lant at j)ri- 

 vate sale for $3,500. 



0. S. Harbison, head of the C. S. Har- 

 rison Select Nursery Co., of York, Neb., 

 has issued the third edition of his peony 

 manual, which treats of the propagation, 

 cultivation, etc., of this flower. 



The wholesale catalogue of the Cali- 

 fornia Kose Co., of Pomona, is unique 

 in that it gives the originator's name 

 and the date of dissemination of each 

 of the approximately 250 varieties listed. 



Possibly as a reaction against the 

 high cost of living, the Pomona Ten-Cent 

 Nurseries have been incorporated at 

 Dansville, N. Y., with a capital stock of 

 $5,000. The incorporators are H. A. 

 Burdick, C. E. and P. W. Wells. 



After a three months' sojourn in Eu- 

 lope and an exciting last mouth, Julius 

 Heurlin, proprietor of the Blue Hill 

 Nursery, at Braintree, Mass., has re- 

 turned. The greater part of the last two 

 months of his stay abroad was spent in 

 Switzerland. 



NUKSERTHUN will learn with great re- 

 gret of the death of Peter Bohlender, 

 head of the firm of Peter Bohlender & 

 Sons, proprietors of the Spring Hill 

 Nurseries, at Tippecanoe City, O. The 

 report of his death and an account of his 

 life appears in this week's obituary 

 <>o]umn. 



A VOLUMS of 128 pages, well bound in 

 a green paper cover, carries the proceed- 

 ings of the thirty-ninth annual conven- 

 tion of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen, held at Cleveland June 24 

 to 26. The book is neatly got up and 

 shows the care of Secretary .Tohn Hall 

 throughout. 



Complaint has been filed in the con- 

 troller's oflBce of the city of New York 

 by Swain Nelson & Sons Co., of Chicago, 

 in regard to nearly 150 elm trees, which, 

 it is asserted, were received by the park 

 department of New York in 1911 but 

 never paid for. The park department 

 disclaims responsibility and is prepared 

 to fight any litigation. 



Articles of incorporation have been 

 filed by the Greysolon Nursery Co., of 

 Duluth, Minn., organized to do a nursery 

 and seed business in that city. The oflS- 

 cers of the company are: President, C. 

 E, Roe; vice-president, Louis Christen- 

 sen; treasurer, E. R. Cobb, and secretary, 

 J. A. P. Neal. They, with T. W. Walker, 

 are the incorporators and form the first 

 board of directors. The capital stock 

 is $50,000. 



PRICES ON THE JX7MP. 



A catalogue just to hand from a west- 

 ern nursery contains a slip which reads 

 as follows: 



"Quotations are not guaranteed un- 

 less order is placed at once. Practically 

 every item we buy, including domestic 

 supplies, has jumped in price during the 

 last ten days, and the end is not yet 



if the European war continues. The 

 nurseryman can hope to make a living 

 only by increasing the selling prices in 

 proportion to the cost of production. 

 Importations of al,l kinds have prac- 

 tically stopped and the indications are 

 that we shall all shortly be paying an 

 internal revenue taxr" 



NEW YORKERS IN SESSION. 



Annual Meeting at Rochester. 



Laws of the state formed the basis 

 of the greater part of the discussion at 

 the annual meeting of the New York 

 State Nurserymen's Association, which 

 was held September 10, at the Chamber 

 of Commerce, Rochester. About forty 

 members were in attendance. 



The workmen 's compensation law 

 came up for much consideration, as it 

 has not yet been made clear whether 

 nursery workers are in the same class 

 with farm laborers, although the nature 

 of their work is much the same. The 

 association will therefore submit to the 

 workmen's compensation commission a 

 request for a definite ruling. 



The discussion in connection with the 

 law in regard to the sale of trees hinged 

 mainly on the clause which places upon 

 the seller the burden of proof if the 

 purchaser claims that an unwritten con- 

 tract is violated. It is urged upon mem- 

 bers and upon New York nurserymen in 

 general that they make as fpw verbal 

 agreements as possible. 



The Officers. 



All the officers of the association were

THE PHOENIX RECEIVERSHIP. 



Although the consensus of opinion 

 among the out-of-town creditors of the 

 Phoenix Nursery Co., of Bloomington. 

 111., according to the replies received by 

 John Y. Chisholm, receiver of the cod 

 cern, in response to his query ac- 

 companying his report for the year, 

 seems to be that the business should be 

 continued as at present, local creditors, 

 who met with Mr. Chisholm September 

 4, feel that it is' not advisable to ton 

 tinue the business under the direction 

 of a receiver. If, however, some or 

 ganization could be perfected whereby 

 the business could be continued at a
