F. W. Watson, Topeka, Kan., is pre- 

 paring to erect a 2-story concrete storage 

 house, 70x80. 



Thousands of florists now handle 

 hardy stock. The possibilities of the fall 

 planting season appeal to them with spe- 

 cial force. 



Fire of mysterious origin May 4 de- 

 stroyed a barn of the Farmers' Nursery 

 Co., Dayton, O., causing a loss of $2,500, 

 with only $500 insurance. 



J. A. Waters, of the Twin Falls 

 Nursery, Twin Falls, Idaho, has pur- 

 chased a farm on the north side of the 

 town and is planting it to apple trees. 



H. F. HIT.T.ENMEYER, who has a forty 

 years' record of rainfall at the nursery 

 at Lexington, Ky., reports nine-tenths of 

 an inch in twenty minutes May 6, the 

 heaviest precipitation in six years. 



K. A. CUNGMAN, of Keithville, La., has 

 established a nursery of 280 acres at Glen- 

 wood, Ark., and will specialize on Elberta 

 peach and Ben Davis apple trees. His 

 nursery represents an investment of 

 $15,000. 



The greatest problem before the 

 nurserymen of the United States today 

 is how to shape the business so as to get 

 more planting days than nature provides. 

 The only limit to the trade is the one 

 imposed by the seasons. Fall planting 

 and storage cellars help. What else can 

 be done! 



THE DESTBUCTIVi; MOTHS. 



Little Iilkelihood of Legislation. 



There seems little likelihood of leg- 

 islation at this session of Congress to 

 authorize the Department of Agricul- 

 ture to establish a quarantine against 

 nursery stock from European countries 

 whence may come dangerous plant dis- 

 eases or insect pests, but eventually 

 there no doubt will be some such law, 

 probably along the lines of the bill to 

 which the legislative committee of the 

 A. A. N. has agreed and which is being 

 pushed by the Department of Agricul- 

 ture. In this connection the histories 

 of the gipsy and brown-tail moths in a 

 recent bulletin of the Department will 

 be of interest: 



The Oipsy Moth. 



The gipsy moth (Porthetria dispar 

 L.) is a European pest which was ac- 

 cidentally introduced into Massachu- 

 setts nearly forty years ago, and has

since spread rather slowly, being still 

 confined to the eastern part of Mas- 

 sachusetts and Bhode Island, the south- 

 ern part of New Hampshire, and to 

 more or less isolated localities in east- 

 ern Connecticut and southwestern 

 Maine. 



The presence of this insect was first 

 discovered in Boston in 1889, and the 

 state of Massachusetts for a number of 

 years kept up a vigorous effort to ex- 

 terminate the insect, making large ap- 

 propriations therefor. This work was 

 abandoned, however, in 1900, but the 

 conditions soon became so bad that 

 appropriations were again made in 

 1905, and have since been continued

annually. In spite of the work of that 

 state, the situation became so serious 

 that the national government, particu- 

 larly on the ground of the great danger 

 that these pests would soon spread to 

 other states, was called upon to assist, 

 and since 1907 Congress has been 

 making annual appropriations to aid in 

 the work of control. The amount of 

 this appropriation is now $300,000 an- 

 nually. 



The gipsy moth has a wide distribu- 

 tion throughout middle and southern 

 Europe, northern Africa, and Asia, in- 

 cluding Japan. In a large portion of 

 the old world range of the gipsy moth 

 it is occasionally abundant and in-
