Nurserymen 's spring lists vFere issued 

 in anticipation of normal weather condi- 

 tions and do not in all cases fit the sea- 

 son. 



C. A. Bennett, Eobbinsville, N. J., re- 

 ports an exceedingly brisk sale for stock 

 the last few months. California privet 

 is one of his specialties. 



G. L. Welch & Co., Fremont, Neb., 

 have purchased seventeen acres of land 

 for an addition to their nursery. The 

 tract has a frontage of a quarter of a 

 mile along the Union Pacific railroad. 



The Oregon apple growers who are 

 fighting the Lafean bill in congress, es- 

 tablishing a standard size for apple 

 boxes, claim to have assurance that the 

 bill will not be passed by the present con- 

 gress. 



The season is advancing too swiftly to 

 suit the nursery interests. Everybody is 

 on the jump in an endeavor to get as 

 much done as possible, for it looks as 

 though the season might prove to be the 

 shortest on record. 



The U. S. Department of Agriculture 

 has issued a bulletin entitled ' ' The Sub- 

 stitution of Lime-sulphur Preparations 

 for Bordeaux Mixture in the Treatment 

 of Apple Diseases," that will be of in- 

 terest to orchardists and nurserymen. 



C. Grootendorst, of F. J. Grootendorst 

 & Sons, Boskoop, Holland, sailed April 2 

 per S. S. Rotterdam, to devote sixty days 

 to calling on American nurserymen. He 

 makes his headquarters in New' York with 

 P. C. Kuyper & Co., 10 Broadway. 



S. B. Hampton, manager of the 

 Corona Lemon Co., Corona, Cal., has tes- 

 tified that it costs $163.94 an acre, on an 

 average, to maintain a bearing lemon 

 grove each season, and that the average 

 yield is ninety -seven boxes a year. Mr. 

 Hampton stated that there are about 

 16,000 acres of bearing lemons in Cali- 

 fornia, while the shipments amount to 

 between 5,000 and 6,000 cars a year. 



The Commissioner of Internal Rev- 

 enue, charged with the collection of the 

 new Taft tax on corporations, has ren- 

 dered a decision (No. 48) to the effect 

 that "the amount received by nursery 

 companies from the sales of trees, 4te., 

 less the amount expended for seedlings 

 and young trees, is to be included in 

 gross income. The amount expended for 

 labor, salesmen, etc., is to be deducted 

 as expenses."
