The death of F. K. Phoenix, pioneer 

 ulirseryman of Delavan, Wis., is re- 

 ported in this week's obituary column.

 southeast and southwest last week caused 

 some alarm among nurserymen of those 

 sections. 



The Waco Nursery Co. has been in- 

 corporated at Waco, Tex., with a capital 

 ■took of $32,500. The incorporators are 

 Sam Sanger, T. A. Goldstein, F. S. 

 Henry and others. 



W. C. Babry, Eochester, delivered an 

 address on "How to Grow Hardy Roses" 

 before the Syracuse Eose Society Feb- 

 ruary 21. In reporting it one of the 

 Eochester papers made it "Hardly"

 demand for apple trees will continue, as 

 preparations are being made for a sup- 

 ply that would prove burdensome if the 

 boom should burst.

 other sections, the nursery interests have 

 been too busy to make any complaint 

 over the conditions, which have not all 

 been in their favor.
