W. L. E. Gkeen has sold his nursery 

 business at Kearney, Neb., and is pre- 

 paring to remove to Lincoln. 



Senator Smith February 5 introduced 

 an amendment to the post-office appro- 

 priation bill to include nursery stock in 

 the parcel post. 



Theodore Grisea, Lawrence, Kans., 

 is reported to have leased ten acres at 

 his old home at Cohocton, N. Y., to start 

 a branch nursery. 



Invoices in the usual commercial form 

 may be enclosed in parcel post packages, 

 under an order issued, by the post-office 

 department last week. 



G. H. Cruzan, proprietor of the Jack- 

 sonville Nursery Co., Jacksonville, 111., 

 February 1 received a shipment of 22,000 

 French seedlings which came in an or- 

 dinary freight car instead of in a refrig- 

 erator car as per shipping instructions. 

 The entire shipment waa a loss. 



Silas Toms, who has been in the nurs- 

 ery business at Pasadena, Cal., for thirty 

 years, has bought a tract at Fallbrook 

 and will remove a part of his nursery 

 there. Mrs. Toms has a reputation as a 

 raiser of prize turkeys. She is said to 

 have made a small fortune growing 

 turkeys on the nursery at Altadena. 



TESTING THE COLOBADO LAW. 



Determined that Colorado state offi- 

 cers shall not be permitted to exercise 

 such wide discretion in condemning 

 trees, the nurserymen of the country are 

 backing W. C. Eeed, of Vincennes, Ind., 

 in his suit against F. L. Rounsevell for 

 damages of $1,500 for the destruction of 

 10,000 trees and $5,000 exemplary dam- 

 ages. The case was put on trial Feb- 

 ruary 1 in the United States district 

 court at Denver. 



The suit has been hanging fire for 

 nearly two years because Mr. Eeed was 

 unable to push it. The American As- 

 sociation of Nurserymen, it is said, is 

 putting up part of the funds to have a 

 judicial determination of the rights of 

 the state entomologist and other officers 

 of counties to order trees destroyed. 



TENNESSEE OFFICEBS. 



During the recent convention of the 

 Tennessee Nurserymen .'s Association the 

 following officers were elected:
