AMEBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBYHEX. 



Officers for 1909-10: Pres., F. H. Stannard. 

 Ottawa, Kan.; Vice-pres., W. P. Stark, Louisi- 

 ana, Mo.; iSec'y, John Hall, Rochester, N. Y.: 

 Treas., C. L. Yates. Rochester, N. Y. Thirty- 

 fifth annual meeting, Denver. June 8 to 10. 1910. 



The Eock Island railroad finds itself 

 in the nursery business this week, 

 through the refusal of a shipment of 

 some 80,000 fruit trees. 



The celerity with which the present 

 season is passing is again demonstrating 

 the importance of having large storage 

 capacity for autumn dug nursery stock. 



It is reported that J. M. Yates, man- 

 ager of a nursery near Sherman, Tex., 

 will plant a large quantity of nursery 

 stock on a tract of land near Tyler, Tex. 



The Greenbrier Nursery Co., Green- 

 brier, Tenn., recently incorporated, has 

 $25,000 capital stock. E. E. Harris is 

 president and U. S, Pribble secretary. 

 Specialties will be made of peach, plum, 

 cherry and ornamentals. 



The Valdesian Nurseries, Bostic, N. 

 C, report an extremely large call for 

 Amoor Eiver privet and say that ship- 

 ments have been made to thirty-four 

 different states this season. Last year 

 they sent shipments into twenty-eight 

 states and to Canada and have had no 

 reports of winter killing. 



The big packing shed of Stark Bros. 

 Nurseries and Orchards Co., Louisiana, 

 Mo., has been a hive of industry the first 

 days of April. With the prospect for one 

 of the shortest seasons in the history of 

 the nursery trade, new records were made 

 on the number of orders and quantity of 

 stock dispatched within a given time. 



C. D. Otis, florist at Lake Charles, La., 

 has become manager of the newly incor- 

 porated Port Arthur Nursery Co., Port 

 Arthur, Tex. The officers of the com- 

 pany arc: President, J. W, Gates; vice- 

 president, E. H. Woodworth; secretary- 

 treasurer, Yred Clark; general manager, 

 C. D. Otis. Work on the nursery is pro- 

 gressing rapidly and "of course we ex- 

 pect great things" is the way Mr. Otis 

 puts the prospect. 



PROPAGATING BETULA. 



Please tell me how to propagate the 

 birch, Bctula alba pendula laciniata. 



C. W. K. 



Betula alba pendula laciniata and other 

 allied forms are best propagated by 

 tongue or cleft grafting on plants in pots 

 in a cold greenhouse, using preferably B. 

 nigra or B. alba for stock. You will find 

 this a more satisfactory method than bud- 

 ding in summer, which is also practiced 

 to some extent. C.

COST RECORDS. 



The Bookkeeper, a magazine published 

 in Detroit, printed in its March issue a 

 lengthy illustrated article, "System of 

 Accounting in the Nursery Business, ' ' by 

 John S. Gallagher, which observes: 



"It is an old story in the nursery 

 business that a man may sell stock at a 

 loss when he thinks he is making a profit. 

 Nurserymen with a large volume of trade 

 sometimes manage to remain poor — all 

 because they do not know what it costs 

 to produce the stock they sell. As in 

 many agricultural pursuits, a lump sum 

 after the season has passed and its ex- 

 penses are paid is apt to be looked upon 

 as profit, while it may represent a loss. 

 The land may have lost much valuable 

 fertility, the entire equipment have un- 

 dergone depreciation, the cost of unsold 

 and diseased stock be more than the
