 Thlrty-seTenth annual meeting, Boston June 1912. 



The shipping season with the firms at 

 the Illinois nursery center at Blooming- 

 ton has been a prosperous one in spite 

 of the early arrival of winter weather. 

 The prospects for spring are said to be 

 excellent. 



The eighth annual meeting of the 

 American Breeders' Association will be 

 held at the Masonic Temple, Washington, 

 D. C, December 28 to 30. Dr. H. J. 

 Webber, Ithaca, N. Y., is secretary of the 

 plant section. 



The ninth annual meeting of the Ala- 

 bama State Horticultural Society will be 

 held in Jasper, Ala., January 25 to 27, 

 1912. This meeting will be of great in- 

 terest to thejfruit and vegetable growers 

 of the state, as several new features have 

 been arranged. Several large spray 

 pump machinery companies have signified 

 their intention of demonstrating their 

 outfits. There will be demonstrations in 

 pruning and setting of fruit trees. 

 Jasper is in the center of a rapidly grow- 

 ing fruit section and a large attendance 

 is expected from that vicinity. F. P. 

 Williams, Audubon, is secretary. 



When the will of the late John Sieben- 

 thaler, the nurseryman of Dayton, O., was 

 probated, it was found that he had made 

 unusually careful arrangements for the 

 preservation of the home life of the fam- 

 ily till 1919, when the youngest child 

 shall reach his majority. In the will the 

 nurseryman asks that the home life of his 

 family be continued unbroken for ten 

 years from the date of the instrument; 

 that his 18-acre farm be cultivated and 

 held in trust for his children by his sister 

 Margaret, who is named guardian, and 

 that the nursery business be continued 

 in the interest of the children for that 

 length of time. The estate is valued' at 

 something over $15,000.

The closing week of November was a 

 satisfactory one and ended a month 

 which, taken as a whole, was highly 

 successful. The retailers have all had 

 their busy days, as well as times when 

 there was little to do. but the result

has been as good as in other years, and 

 in a few cases some better. The whole- 

 salers report a satisfactory month, with 

 more chrysanthemums handled than 

 ever before, and although there were no 

 fancy prices, the general average was 

 fair. 



Thanksgiving business was all that 

 was expected of it. There was no scar- 

 city of flowers of any kind and every- 

 thing cleaned up nicely. Stock never 

 was better for Thanksgiving; in fact, 

 there was practically no rubbish of any 

 kind. Beauties were rather on the 

 scarce side, but fine Killarney, both 

 pink and white, and Richmond were 

 plentiful enough to supply all demands. 

 Prices were quite reasonable and by 

 Thursday morning everything was 

 cleaned up. 



Various Notes. 



The retail shops all had their usual 

 fine window displays last week. The 

 A. W. Smith Co. had one large window 

 devoted to a display of orchids in great
