The Green Brier Nursery Co. has been 

 incorporated at Green Brier, Tenn., with 

 a capital stock of $2,500. The incorpor- 

 ators are R. R. and Annie M. Harris, 

 Ida, N. S. and N. Pribble. 



It is said that one of the largest nur- 

 series in the Columbia river valley will 

 be planted this year by the Vanholder- 

 beek Nursery Co., of Kcnnewick, Wash. 

 The report states that "the grafts for 

 1,140,000 settings have been nearly com- 

 pleted. ' ' 



NuR.SERYMEN are heels over head in 

 work. The sudden arrival of warm 

 weather plungA them right into the mid- 

 dle of their sea&tmv- If it docs not turn 

 cold pretty quickly the planting season 

 for nursery stock will be one of the 

 shortest on record. 



A VERITABLE boom in apple growing is 

 starting in New England. One grower 

 will set out 12,000 trees this spring, an- 

 other 24,000, and there are numerous 

 other planters, big and small, which will 

 place the total up into the hundreds of 

 thousands. For mere size New England 

 cannot quite equal the Pacific coast ap- 

 ples, but for flavor and keeping qualities 

 they are decidedly superior, whfle there is 

 a market with 23,000,000 population 

 along the Atlantic states alone. 



NAME OF SHRUB. 



Will you please tell me the name of the 

 shrub from which the enclosed leaves 

 were taken, if the leaves are sufficient for 

 purposes of identification! B. S. B. 



The name of this shrub, or small 

 tree, is Pittosporum crassifolium. G. 



BOSKOOP NURSERY INTERESTS. 



The Boskoop nurserymen are just now 

 busy with an unusually large order des- 

 tined to plant the new park for one of 

 the American millionaires, who has made 

 his pile out of the tobacco and cigarette 

 trade. One item of the order is for 36,- 

 000 of the Koster blue spruce, and there 

 are others almost equally heavy. Some 

 idea of the magnitude of the order may 

 be gained from the fact that the packing 

 charges alone, apart from freight, insur- 

 ance, etc., will amount to very close upon 

 $3,000. 



There are some 700 nurseries in and 

 around Boskoop, but instead of their 

 numbers leading to a ruinous competition 

 the result is quite the other way. The 

 whole trade is closely banded together, 

 and what one runs short of he borrows,

exchanges or purchases from his nearest 

 neighbor. The Boskoop motto is "Mu- 

 tual help," and in this lies one of the 

 chief secrets of its prosperity. There are 

 four local protective societies, dealing 

 severally with the export trade to Amer- 

 ica, England, Germany and France, ne- 



gotiating for the cheapest freights and 

 in other ways looking after the interests 

 of the members. The Horticultural Ad-

 these facts, adds that in spite of the fact 

 that Boskoop has to rely entirely on roiad
