T. C. Thuelow's Sons, of the Cherry

The roses at the EUwanger & Barry 

 nursery, Rochester, made a grand showing 

 last week and attracted many hundreds 

 of visitors. William C. Barry did the 

 honors and saw to it that every inquirer 

 found the blue roses. The Rochester pa- 

 pers gave the showing much publicity. 



The nursery interests are unalterably 

 opposed to any bill that, becoming law, 

 will give one man power to shut off the 

 European supply of raw material. One 

 man power always is exercised in one of 

 two ways: either so laxly as to amount to 

 non-enforcement or so arbitrarily as to 

 do injustice. 



A FORWARD step in the conservation of 

 Missouri's resources has been taken by 

 the University of Missouri in the appoint- 

 ment of Prof. J. A. Ferguson, of State 

 College, Pennsylvania, to the position of 

 Professor of Forfestry in the College of 

 . Agriculture. Professor Ferguson is a 

 graduate of Yale Forestry School, and 

 has for nearly two years been head of the 

 Department of Forestry at State Col- 

 lege, Pennsylvania. 



The Rhode Island Nursery Co. is a 

 new organization, formed June 1, with

 and auditor, J. Frank Parker; secretary 

 and treasurer, T. S. Ware. All these men

 many years. He was formerly with C. 

 R. Fish & Co., of Worcester, Mass. Re-

 ago and engaging in business for him- 

 self, he soon built up a large trade.

of Agriculture discretionary power to 

 prohibit the importation of nursery 

 stock from "infested" districts (em- 

 bodied in the Simmons bill), has re- 

 sulted in more ill feeling than has come 

 from any other agitation of recent 

 years. The legislative committee of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 charges bad faith and misrepresentation 

 against those who seek the enactment 

 of this restrictive legislation, as, for in- 

 stance, in such official utterances as that 

 of F. L. Washburn, the Minnesota state
