California Privet 



Grown as a Specialty 



You go to a specialist in other lines of buei- 

 ness becaupe you know you will get the best 

 service. This applies to growers of nursery 

 stock as well. Give me a tiial and be convinced. 



I have a large block to move this Fall, and 



will quote you pi ices that will enable you to 



^t California Privet business. The stock will 



be as fine as can be grown. Send your list at 



once. 



I am growing California Privet to sell, 

 and I sell it. There must be a reason

 meeting, Boston, June. 1912. 



Of the peonies, Mme. Forel, clear rose 

 pink, is in special demand. 



The Texas Nurserymen 's Association 

 will hold its annual meeting in Sep- 

 tember at Waco, Tex. The exact date 

 is to be announced later. 



The peony specialists are hoping for 

 some good rain«, to put the soil in condi- 

 tion for digging early in September. 

 Most of them have had a dry season. 



W. P. Stark, ex-president of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Nurserymen, says 

 that apples this year will be more plenti- 

 ful, of better quality and lower price 

 than they have been for several years. 



The peony experts are dropping Rich- 

 ardson 's Eubra Superba from their lists 

 of varieties. In spite of its splendid 

 bloom and its lateness, it is too shy and 

 unreliable to be recommended. 



PABK SUPEKINTENDENTS MEET. 



The thirteenth annual convention of 

 the American Association of Park Su- 

 perintendents was held at Kansas City, 

 Mo., August 8 to 10, and was pronounced 

 one of the most successful meetings the 

 association has yet held. The opening 

 session was held at the offices of the 

 Kansas City Board of Park Commis- 

 sioners, where Mayor Darius A. Brown 

 and Henry D. Ashley, member of the 

 Board of Park Commissioners, extended 

 the visitors a cordial welcome to the 

 city. Vice-president Charles E. Keith, 

 of Bridgeport, Conn., presided, in the 

 'absence of President Wm. J. Zartmann, 

 Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Keith referred 

 sympathetically to the absence of W. 

 H. Dunn, general superintendent of the 

 Kansas City parks, and a vice-president 

 of the organization, who was detained 

 at home by sickness. President Zart- 

 mann 's annual address was read by 

 J. B. Shea, of Boston, Mass. 



Secretary-treasurer F. L. Mulford re- 

 ported that the membership, including 

 active, honorary, associate and special 

 members, was 134, to which a number 

 were added during the Kansas City 

 meeting. 



Boston was chosen for the 1912 meet- 

 ing, with several invitations already en-
