Orchard planting in the Pacific north- 

 west has not held up to the highwater 

 mark.

 tosa, Wis., has purchased a 40-acre tract 

 known as the old Gilbert farm, near 

 North avenue, at the west limits of the 

 towrn. 



Peyton Bros. & Barnes, proprietors 

 of the Boonville Nurseries, at Boonville, 

 Mo., have added a real estate department

 carried on together with advantage to 

 both. 



The Lewis & Valentine Co. has been 

 incorporated at East Kockaway, N. Y., 

 with a capital of $50,000, for the purpose 

 of carrying on a general nursery busi- 

 ness, landscape gardening, etc. The in-

At a recent meeting of the stockholders 

 of the Salt Lake Nursery Co., Salt Lake, 

 Utah, the following oflScers were chosen: 

 President and manager, Martin Christo- 

 pherson; vice-president and assistant 

 manager, William J. Home; secretary 

 and treasurer, Elias A. Smith; additional 

 director, Lorilla L. Home. 



Nurserymen in the north are not par- 

 ticularly pleased with the prospect. Here 

 it is the middle of March, with deep snow 

 on the ground in many sections and the 

 certainty that frost will not be out of 

 the soil for some time yet, for it went 

 deep this winter. A late start usually 

 means a short planting season.
