The Knoxville Nursery Co., of Knoz- 

 vUIe, Tenn., recently purchased a 275- 

 acre tract of land. With this addition, 

 the area of the firm's grounds is now 750 

 acres. The price paid for the new prop- 

 erty was $8,000. 



W. P. Staek, president of the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen, of Stark 

 Bros. Co., Louisiana, Mo., recently ap- 

 peared before the appropriations commit- 

 tee of the Missouri legislature in behalf 

 of the state board of horticulture, of 

 which Mr. Stark is a member. The ask- 

 ing was for $19,000 to carry on the work 

 of the board for the biennial period. 



The Kopf Nursery & Realty Co. has 

 been incorporated at Hartford, Conn., 

 for the purpose of operating in the Isle 

 of Pines. The capital stock of the con- 

 cern is $70,000, and the intention is to 

 conduct a citrus fruit nursery, and grow 

 fruit trees, ornamental trees and vege- 

 table plants. McKinley, Isle of Pines, is 

 the place of business of the company. 

 The incorporators are: J. F. Garrette, 

 of Hartford; William E. Dickerman, Dr. 

 Matthew H. Laity and H. B. Kopf, of 

 New Haven; A. J. Lines, of Meriden; 

 E. A. Kopf, of New York, and A. C. 

 Kopf, of West McKinley, Isle of Pines. 



Minnesota nurserymen have had a half 

 rate for freight shipments of nursery 

 stock. The railroads abrogated this, but 

 the state railroad and warehouse com- 

 mission refused to permit the increase 

 to go into effect until June 1. February 

 13 a delegation of nurserymen, headed by 

 L. L. May, of St. Paul, appeared before 

 the commission, seeking to get the in- 

 junction against the new rates made per- 

 manent. During the hearing it devel- 

 oped that there are inequalities in the 

 present rates between Lake City, Owa- 

 tonna and the Minnesota Transfer. These 

 the commission ordered equalized. The 

 other matter was taken under advise- 

 ment. 



Several cases recently have been re- 

 ported where nurserymen'who had planted 

 stock guaranteed simply "to grow" or 

 "to live" had been brought into con- 

 flict with their customers because of the 

 indefiniteness of the warranty. A guar- 

 anty, if given, should be for a specified 

 time, as one year or two years, and should 

 provide that at the expiration of that 

 period the stock should be in a well es- 

 tablished, healthy condition, as vigorous 

 as the character of the site will permit. 

 Anything short of this is an evasion of 

 the intent of the guaranty that will 

 react on the nurseryman. One would 

 better not give any sort of a guaranty 

 unless it is of the broadest kind and thor- 

 oughly lived up to. Having given a war-

RECIPROCITY WITH CANADA. 



Practically speaking, no nursery 

 stock comes from Canada to the United 

 States; it almost all goes the other way. 

 Consequently the reciprocity bill now 

 in Congress is counted as advantageous 

 to the nurserymen of the United States. 



The bill contains two paragraphs re- 

 lating to nursery products, the idea 

 being that the duties proposed shall be 

 identical in the two countries. They 

 are as follows;
