IMPORTS OF NURSERY STOCK. 



A new feature of the government's 

 statistical work is the compilation of 

 separate figures covering imports of 

 orchids, palms, draccenas, crotons, aza- 

 leas, tulips and other bulbs, bulbous 

 roots or corms cultivated for their flow- 

 ers. Previous to 1909 these items had 

 been included with the general heading 

 of nursery stock, although in a trade 

 sense they are none of them to be so 

 classed. The figures on imports for 

 1909 have just become available, as 

 follows:

A BLUE ROSE 



The Greatest 



Rose Novelty 



off the Century 



It flowered with us this sea- 

 son and was greatly admired. 



The New Rambler (Violet Blue), hailed 

 by the German rose growers as (he 

 foremnner of a genuinely cornflower 

 bine rose, ie a seedling of Orimson 

 Rambler, very vigorous and hardy, and 

 free blooming.

Such good prices have been realized 

 this season for all kinds of fruits that 

 the nurserymen are sure to feel the in- 

 creased call from planters. 



On the whole this has not been so bad 

 a growing season. Some sections, and 

 these include important nursery centers, 

 have had too dry a summer, but in other 

 localities it has been too wet, so the aver- 

 age, perhaps, is normal. 



Not one department of the nursery 

 business is lagging behind. The call for 

 ornamentals is scarcely less than for fruit 

 trees; there are plenty of orders for the 

 men who grow the small fruits, and for 

 the ones who specialize on hardy peren- 

 nials, while the landscape departments 

 are steadily expanding. 



Peony business is reported as break- 

 ing no records this year. The big orders 

 of other seasons are missed by those who 

 have handled them and who now have to 

 face the competition of their former cus- 

 tomers. The peony has, however, lost 

 none of its merits or popularity with the 

 public and retail orders are more numer- 

 ous than ever. 



Election of officers was the main 

 thing on the program at the meeting of 

 the Texas Nurserymen's Association at 

 Waco, Tex., September 13 and 14, and 

 the result was: President, J. R. May- 

 hew, Waxahachie ; vice-president, .T. L. 

 Downing, Wichita Falls ; secretary and 

 treasurer, J. S. Kerr, Sherman. A reso- 

 lution was passed, asking congress to pro- 

 vide a duty on foreign citrus products.
