 Thlrty-seTenth annual meeting, Boston June 1912 



L. R. Bryant, Princeton, 111., has 

 been elected first vice-president -of the 

 Northern Illinois Horticultural Society. 



KiRKMAN & Son, Fresno, Cal., are es- 

 tablishing a branch nursery on the Bor- 

 den ranch at Madera, Cal., F. P. South 

 being in charge. 



EooT-KNOT and its control is the sub- 

 ject of a bulletin just issued by the 

 United States Department of Agriculture. 

 The author is Prof. Ernst A. Bessey, 

 of the Michigan Agricultural College. 



Frank Lebkicker, who for many 

 years was associated with his father, 

 the late Samuel Lebkicker, in the nur- 

 sery business at Freeport, 111., is now 

 at Los Angeles, Cal., where he has pur- 

 chased a fruit farm. 



Within the last ten years a large 

 percentage of the hickory trees have died 

 in various sections throughout the north- 

 ern tier of states from Wisconsin to 

 Vermont and southward through the At- 

 lantic states to central Georgia and to a 

 greater or less extent within the entire 

 range of natural growth of the various 

 species. While there are several and 

 sometimes complicated causes of the 

 death of the trees, investigations by ex- 

 perts of the Bureau of Entomology, U. 

 S. Department of Agriculture, have re- 

 vealed the fact that the hickory bark- 

 beetle is by far the most destructive in- 

 sect enemy and is therefore, in the ma- 

 jority of cases, the primary cause of the 

 dying of the trees. 



It is stated at North Yakima, Wash., 

 that there have been shipped from the 

 Yakima valley to December 1 this sea- 

 eon twenty-two cars of nursery stock, 

 which is just about a third of the 

 amount shipped to the same date last 

 seasoVi, when the aggregate was sixty- 

 one cars. Tiic difference in the fall ship- 

 ments, however, does not indicate prop- 

 erly the relative standing of the busi- 

 ness this and last year In the first 

 place there is every indication, at this 

 time, that the spring shipments will be 

 heavier. It is also true that the weather 

 conditions this year have had some ef- 

 fect. It seems, however, that there are 

 few large orchards to be planted this 

 season as compared with other years. 

 Hitherto large areas have been planted 

 under contract, the trees to be cared for 

 by the land selling companies for two 

 or three years, after which the absentee 

 owner becomes responsible and must him- 

 self take charge.

NURSEEYMAN ASKS LABEL LAW. 



An unusual scene was that when a 

 nurseryman denounced the sale of ap- 

 ple trees wrongly labeled and called 

 upon the state legislature to pass a 

 law making it a crime to sell stock 

 under a wrong label. The nurseryman 

 was E. A. Smith, of Lake City, and 

 the Minnesota State Horticultural So- 

 cietv promptly adopted a resolution 

 embodying his ideas. The trouble was 

 that unscrupulous persons were said 

 to be trading on the advertising re- 

 cently given for the Wealthy apples, 

 which won for Minnesota the first 

 prize at the Spokane apple show. 

 Varieties have been delivered, Mr. 

 Smith declared, bearing Wealthy la- 

 bels, that never would bear Wealthy 

 apples. E. D. Underwood and H. W. 

 Beebe, also of the Jewell Nursery Co., 

 were prominent figures at the meeting. 

 Other nurserymen on the program in- 

 cluded T. E. Cashman, Owatonna; S. 

 D. Richardson, Winnebago, and W.
