The Bay State JS'iirseries, of North 

 Al)infiton, Mass., have rceenfly placed 

 several acres of additional area under 

 iniltivation. Land that was formerly 

 .swampy or waste lias been transformed 

 into valuable nursery grounds. 



The will of the late Edward O. Gra- 

 ham, head of the Graham Nursery Co., 

 of Rochester, N. Y., was filed in probate 

 court September 30. The estate, said to 

 be valued at $10,000, is left to his wife.

 none of whom is mentioned in the will. 



J. H. Prost, city forester at Chicago, 

 19 doing good work. In the few months 

 since the otliee was created he has done 

 much to awaken public interest in trees, 

 issuing several bulletins written with 

 special reference to the conditions on city 

 streets. Pamphlet No. 4, just out, is en- 

 titled "Trees; What, When and How 

 to Plant," and giv^.e full details with 

 pictures.

 of a general nursery, although that was 

 one of the items which were covered in the 

 incorporation papers. "Wo are princi- 

 pally incorporated for the carrying on of 

 landscape work and commercial entomol- 

 ogy ; that is, for the care of trees. At 

 the present we have no nursery, and prob- 

 ably will not have one for several years, 

 and possibly not at all.''

PICEA NIGRA PUMILA. 



Picea nigra pumila is an effective, low 

 growing evergreen. The one illustrated 

 measures twenty-.seven feet in circum- 

 ference and is three feet in height. It 

 was planted twenty years ago on the 

 grounds of Arthur Wliitin, Whitinsville, 

 Mass., where Thomas Howden is manager. 

 It was transplanted in August, 1903, as 

 it was getting too largo for the space 

 allotto<l to it originally. 



Mr. Howden considers August an ex- 

 cellent month for moving evergreens and
