J. W. DUNFOBD has bought out the 

 Whiting Nursery Co. and will specialize 

 in landscape work in Sioux City, la. 



Alvin Bbown, a landscape architect 

 of Beloit, Wis., is starting the Beloit 

 Nursery. He purchased land last fall 

 and is now setting out stock. 



The Carlton Nursery Co., at Carlton, 

 Ore., is enjoying a good run of busi- 

 ness at present and shipments to neigh- 

 boring states are heavy, especially of 

 fruit trees. 



The season in the southwest is giving 

 the nurseries in that section a good 

 spring business. Orders may not aver> 

 age so large as in some other years, but 

 there are more buyers each succeeding 

 season. 



A DEMONSTRATION of the various kinds 

 of grafting was given 1^ S. Imura, of 

 the Alvin Japanese Nursery Co., of Alvin, 

 Tex., at the March meeting of the Mo- 

 bile Floral and Horticultural Society. 

 He said little grafting is being done now 

 in that section. 



Theke is little doubt that the nursery 

 interests will have a large and profit- 

 able spring season, but it is open to 

 question if there ever again will be the 

 big orchard plantings that created the 

 wonderful demand for fruit trees in the 

 last ten years. 



The Delaware Orchard & Nursery Co., 

 of Delaware, O., has been organized, and 

 papers for $10,000 capitalization are 

 being taken out. The officers are: 

 Pl-esident, J. C. Vergon; secretary, C. O. 

 Allen, Jr.; treasurer, A. Ward Smith; 

 directors, R. L. Hudson, C. C. Cowgill, 

 John Dav^s, J. F. Dodd and W. S. Pat- 

 ten. 



Spbino business is booming with the 

 Stark Bros. Nurseries and Orchards Co., 

 of Louisiana, Mo. A gain of over 1,000 

 orders in one week was recorded in the 

 last issue of Stark Tree Talk, the house 

 organ. In one mail 694 were received. 

 Eugene Duncan, treasurer, who has been 

 sales manager for almost seventeen years, 

 is more than pleased at this selling 

 feat. 



The Maine Agricultural Experiment 

 Station has issued, as bulletin No. 220, 

 a pamphlet on "Woolly Aphids of the 

 Elm," which treats of the elm aphids of 

 the eastern United States and gives a 

 list of aphids recorded from all parts 

 of the world on other plants as well as 

 the elm. It is by Edith M. Patch and 

 includes a full bibliography and six 

 pages of illustrations.

 N. W. Harris estate, at Lake Geneva, 

 Wis., Theodor Styrpejko has gone to 

 Glenview, HI., where he will be employed 

 by Swain Nelson & Sons Co., at the nur- 

 series. 



Part of the Parker Whitney estate 

 near Loomis, Cal., has been leased to 

 a nursery company, and it is reported 

 that one of the largest citrus nurseries 

 in the country will be located here, as 

 the soil is well adapted to this kind of 

 stock. 



If automobile trucks may be taken as 

 signs of prosperity, business is good in 

 Painesville, O., where W. B. Cole, of the 

 Mentor Avenue Nurseries, and Julius 

 Kohankie, of the Ornamental Nurseries, 

 have both added motor trucks to their 

 equipment. 



DAMAGES FOB DELAYED TREES. 



The liability of a railway company 

 for delaying fruit trees in transit was 

 involved in the recent case of Peoples 

 vs. Yazoo & Mississippi BaUroad Co., 

 64 Southern Beporter 262, which was 

 passed upon by the Mississippi Su- 

 preme Court. Mr. Peoples, having con- 

 tracted to fill several orders for fruit 

 trees at Grenada, Miss., ordered a ship- 

 ment from a nursery at Concord, Ga. 

 Although the shipment was m/ide No- 

 vember 18, it did not arrive at its 

 destination until December 19. When 

 the trees were unpacked, it was found 

 that many of them had perished in 

 transit and were unfit for useJ Mr. 

 Peoples received the trees, sold them 

 for $250 and sued for the net amount 

 of his loss, $225. 



The railway company relied on the 

 defense that ik^ shippers at Concord, 

 Ga., contractedilwith the other rail- 

 w&y company, which received the ship- 

 ment for trausw)rtation and delivered 

 it to the defe^ant as' a connecting 

 carrier, for shipment of the trees at 

 a reduced rate^about ohe-half of the 

 regular rate) upon condition that the 

 liability should be limited to a certain 

 valuation per hundred pounds, which 

 in this instance would amount to a 

 total valuation of $66. The defendant 

 railway company also contended that 

 plaintiJSF was not entitled to recover for 

 the reason that he had sold part of H;he
