 returned from a month's trip to Yellow- 

 stone park. 



Some of the largest peony people are 

 advancing their prices on Feetiva Max- 

 ima, being as closely sold out as they 

 care to be. 



The long-continued drought is begin- 

 ning to affect the composure of some of 

 the nurserymen, who find stock making 

 much slower growth than they would like.

It is reported that the Wolverine Nur- 

 sery Co., of Paw Paw, Mich., is favorably 

 considering the project of establishing a 

 branch nursery at Traverse City, Mich., in 

 the center of the fruit section. 



The annual report of the Tennessee 

 State Board of Entomology shows that 

 242 nursery and greenhouse establish- 

 ments have been inspected and certifi- 

 cated for the current year. 



The season having been earlier than 

 usual with the peony growers in the 

 middle west, the stock has made about 

 the usual growth, in spite of a rather 

 dry summer, and digging will begin in 

 the last week of August or first week in 

 September. 



The Oregon Nursery Co. has filed suit 

 in the district court at Hillsboro against 

 George A. Bradbum, of Boseburg, asking 

 $20,000 damages for alleged false state- 

 ments regarding the nursery stock of the 

 plaintiff. The statements in question 

 were published in a Portland daily June 

 26, 1910, and the article, which forms 

 part of the complaint filed, was in the 

 form of an interview with Mr. Bradbum, 

 who in the published statement is quoted 

 as saying that the trees were affected 

 with anthracnose. The complaint states 

 that such charges are injurious to the 

 company 's business.

Quite a few nurserymen are beginning 

 to wonder how much longer their stock 

 will have to get along without rain. 

 Growth is not all that could be desired. 



Their state board of entomology is 

 sending Tennessee nurserymen a bulle- 

 tin entitled "The San Jose and Other 

 Injurious Scale Insects, with Methods for 

 their Control." 



The Franco-American Nursery, at 

 Pomona, Cal., formerly owned by Charles 

 J. Carette, has been transferred to Isaac 

 N, Elder, in exchange for a nine-room 

 residence in Pomona and forty acres of 

 land in the Mohawk valley, Arizona. The 

 total value of the trade is said to have 

 been $24,000. 



The most elaborate report of any of 

 the state entomological departments to 

 reach The Review has come from F. L. 

 Washburn, of Minnesota. It is a vol- 

 ume of 184 pages and contains a state- 

 ment of the work of the department 

 for two years, together with papers on 

 the entomological side of agriculture, as 

 well as horticulture. Inspection of nur- 

 series is not obligatory in Minnesota, but 

 is made on request of those who want cer- 

 tificates to comply with the laws of other 

 states. In 1910 fifty-six establishments 

 were inspected. 



WINTERING BAY TREES. 



Will you tell me the best way of 

 wintering bay trees and the general 

 treatment of them? A. A. 



A cellar, shed or pit which can be 

 kept at 35 to 40 degree^ during the 

 coldest weather will suit bays. As a 

 rule, 40 degrees at night is the tem- 

 perature given them. A higher tem- 

 perature is not to be recommended, 

 while they will not be damaged if the 

 thermometer goes to 32 degrees, or 

 even lower at times. They should not 

 be kept too dark, or when exposed to 

 nunli^t they will be liable to brown
