 chester. N. Y.; Vlce-Pres.. C. M. Hobbs. Bridge- 

 Sort, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seager, Rochester,

 ter, June, 1909. 



The Aldrich tariff bill includes the 

 Payne bill schedule on nursery stock. 



Last year the government distributed 

 free 24,350 grape vines and 91,000 straw- 

 berry plants. 



There are a whole lot of scarce items 

 in both fruits and ornamentals, report 

 those who have to buy to fill orders. 



TfiE Meshanticut Nursery Co., Provi- 

 dence, B. I., has been incorporated by 

 J. A. Xee, F. I. MeCanna and E, J. 

 Bogan. The capital is to be $5,000. 



The Home Planters' Association has 

 been incorporated at Kochester, N. Y., 

 with Harry Bartlett Phillips, Stuart 

 Hamilton and Henry E. Grady as direc- 

 tors. 



The nurserymen are having one of the 

 best seasons on record. The cold, un- 

 seasonable weather in many parts of the 

 country is prolonging their planting time. 



The Gardner Nursery Co., of Osage, 

 la., recently shipped to Buenos Ayres, 

 South America, a half-ton box of trees 

 and shrubs of its own propagation. The 

 firm also ships to Japan and Asiatic 

 ports. 



C. G. Geootendorst, of P. J. Grooten- 

 dorst & Son, Boskoop, has arrived in New 

 York for a trip among the buyers of nur- 

 sery stock. There are more Holland nur- 

 serymen in this country this year than 

 ever before. 



Some of the Holland nurserymen now 

 abroad in the land say they are not able 

 to locate many orders for peonies, and 

 lay it to the peony being overdone. Good 

 judges do not think the peony has lost 

 any of its popularity; American growers 

 are now able to meet the demand, that is 

 aU. 



W. T. Vickers, a nurseryman at 

 Springfield, Mo., has been in Brunsvnck, 

 Mo., taking depositions in a suit against 

 James Dearing, a nurseryman of that 

 city. Mr. Vickers is suing Mr. Dearing 

 for $250 damages, alleging that a ship- 

 ment of fruit trees sent him were dis- 

 eased and not according to contract.

APPLES IN IDAHO. 



The outlook for fruit tree planting in 

 Idaho exceeds any previous spring. Nurs- 

 erymen at Coeur d'Alene say they are 

 unable to meet the demand for apple and 

 in single instances orders for over 150,- 

 000 trees, chiefly of the Wagener, Rome 

 Beauty and Jonathan varieties, have been 

 turned down. It is claimed the orders

THE PISTACHE NUT. 



Thousands of pistache stocks upon
