NURSERY NEWS. 



AMBBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTMEN. 



Officers for 1908-9: Pres., ObsrleB J. Brown, Ro- 

 chester, N. Y.; Vlce-Pres., 0. M. Hobbs. Bridgre- 

 port, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. 0. Seager, Rochester, 

 N. Y.; Treas., 0. X. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. The 

 84th annual convention will be held at Roches- 

 ter, June, 1909. 



The nurseries are just about as busy 



as they can be, with spring shipments, 



and there is no complaint of dull busi- 

 ness anywhere. 



The sale for ornamental trees and 

 shrubs is on the rapid increase all over 

 the country and prospects are that only 

 the surface of the market has as yet 

 been scratched. 



Peterson Nursery, Chicago, says this 

 is the busiest season to date in its land- 

 scape department. It is no longer a 

 question of getting business, but of tak- 

 ing the usual care of it all. 



Harry Kallen, of Kallen & Lunne- 

 mann, Boskoop, Holland, has arrived in 

 New York for a tour of the trade. Be- 

 sides his own firm, he represents R. H. 

 Bath, Julius Hansen and A. Aloncius. 



The importations of Holland-grown 

 nursery stock this year are large, and 

 may even make a new record, in spite 

 of some uncertainty as to future busi- 

 ness conditions at the time the Holland 

 salesmen were here last year. 



How ineffectual has been the agita- 

 tion for changes in the tariff law is 

 shown on page 41 of this issue. The 

 new bill proposes only one change, on 

 Myrobolan plum and Mahaleb or Maz- 

 zard cherry stocks or seedlings, from 50 

 cents per thousand and fifteen per centum 

 ad valorem to a straight $1 per thou- 

 sand. 



George T. Crane, of Spokane, has pur- 

 chased the nurseries of W. J. Doust. at 

 Brewster, Wash., for $50,000. Three 

 years ago this piece of property was sold 

 for $12,000, A. L. Smith and W. J. 

 Doust, both of Spokane, being the pur- 

 diasers. Smith later sold his interest to 

 Doust. The piece contains about 120 

 acres. 



A BILL in the New York legislature 

 amends the present nursery , inspection 

 law, detailing a method whereby claims 

 may be made for nursery stock destroyed 

 in the suppression of disease. The law 

 provides in the first instance that the 

 value of the infested or diseased stock 

 shall be determined by the commissioner 

 of agriculture. If .the owner of the 

 stock be not satisfied with the value fixed 

 in such appraisal, two arbitrators shall 

 be appointed, one by the owner and the 

 other by the commissioner of agricul- 

 ture, and the value fixed by such arbitra- 

 tors shall be final when duly approved by 

 the commissioner. But if the arbitrators 

 fail to agree, then eaoii arbitrator shall 

 make a report to the commissioner, set- 

 ting forth the values as determined by 

 him, and the commissioner shall there- 

 after fix a value which shall be final. 

 The bill, as heretofore, appropriates $25,- 

 000 for the expenses of nursery inspec- 

 tion.

icana, is so seldom seen beyond the boun- 

 daries of botanic gardens that it appears 

 desirable planters should have their at- 

 tention drawn to its merits. Jamesia 

 Americana is not showy, and that may, 

 perhaps, have militated against its becom- 

 ing popular; but, if not showy, it is ex- 

 tremely beautiful, and it strongly appeals 

 to those who appreciate elegance of 

 growth and quiet coloring at their true 

 value. It belongs to a monotypic genus, 

 and is a native of the Rocky Mountains, 

 whence it was introduced to cultivation 

 in 1865. The growth is light and elegant,
