The Wolverine Nursery Co., of Paw 

 Paw, Mich., has closed its downtown store 

 and will hereafter transact all business 

 at the office at the packing grounds, on 

 what is known as the old fair grounds. 



The nursery trade looks forward to the 

 largest autumn season on record. Not 

 only is the fall business growing year 

 by year, but this time the farmers and 

 fruit growers everywhere have large 

 crops marketable at fine prices. 



The "Wills Valley Nursery Co. has been 

 incorporated at Fort Payne, Ala,, with 

 a capital stock of $100,000, of which 

 $50,000 has been paid in. The incorpora- 

 tors are Nathan W. Hale, A. I. Smith, 

 Oscar P. Casee, W. W. Howard and E. 

 E. Butherford. 



It is said that Edwin H. Eiehl, of the 

 Monarch Fruit Farm, at Alton, 111., 

 placed 200 varieties of grapes on exhibi- 

 tion at a recent meeting of the Alton 

 Horticultural Society, and that 100 of 

 the varieties were originated by himself. 

 Mr. Eiehl is president of the society. 



The Union Comer Orchard Co. has 

 been incorporated at Martinsburg, "W. 

 Va., with an authorized capital of $50,- 

 000, for the purpose of conducting a 

 general orchard and nursery business. 

 The incorporators are H. A. Hammann, 

 M. L. Dorn, S. S. Folker, W. S. Snyder 

 and A. C. Nadebousch, all of Martins- 

 burg. 



TBEE INJUBED BY SAFSUCKEBS. 



In our cemetery we have many fine 

 old elm trees — magnificent ones. Two 

 of them are dead and five more are 

 dying. On examining them, I found 

 that they looked like the rough sketch 

 which I enclose, showing a tree trunk 

 marked with many perforations. There 

 are so many of these rows of bores 

 that the tree has been circled many 

 times. I also found them on a poplar 

 tree, and in the yard of one of my 

 neighbors I find there is an old apple 

 tree affected in the same way. Can 

 you tell me what is doing the work 

 and what we must do to savQ our trees? 



L. M. D. 



The sketch which was enclosed shows 

 a large number of round holes arranged 

 in parallel rows around the tree trunk. 

 The holes are stated to be about one- 

 fifth inch in diameter and from one- 

 fourth to one-half inch deep.

From the description and sketch it 

 is quite certain that the holes are the 

 work of a species of sapsucker, a bird 

 which makes the holes in the trees for 

 the purpose of feeding upon the sap. 

 For this purpose they always select 

 trees which are growing rapidly, as 

 they will furnish more sap. Although 

 trees are seldom killed by them, if the 

 perforations are extremely numerous the 

 growth of the trees is often noticeably 

 checked. 



When trees have*een injured in this 

 way, if the bark and wood have not 

 yet become dry, it will be possible to 

 prevent the further drying out of the 

 trees by applying rather thick lead
