Wm. a. Peterson, proprietor of Peter-

 Mrs. Peterson and their daughter, is at 

 Winona Lake, Ind., for a fortnight's 

 vacation. 



Those who plant Richardson's Rubra 

 Superba as a cut flower peony should be 

 prepared to make their profit on it in its 

 good years — about one in three. It is a 

 splendid thing but an unreliable bloomer. 



A Chicago concern, Geo. W. Bond & 

 Co., has perfected a portable stereopticon 

 that they say will be fine for nursery 

 salesmen. It weighs only ten pounds and 

 can be used wherever there is electric 

 light, day as well as night. The peri- 

 patetic nursery agent always was some- 

 thing of a lecturer; he ought by all 

 means to carry a stereopticon instead of 

 his lithographs. 



The Yellowstone^ Nursery Co., at 

 Cheyenne, Wyo., has charge of the work 

 of transforming part of a tract of 

 ground on the Hot Springs reserve, at 

 Thermopolis, Wyoming, into a city park. 

 About 75,000 young trees have already 

 been planted, under the direction of 

 G. P. Devor. According to the contract 

 under which the work is being done, the 

 nursery company is to park a part of the 

 tract for city use and also has the priv- 

 ilege of using part of the land for 

 nursery purposes. 



JACKSON & PERKINS WIN. 



July 12 the Interstate Commerce 

 Commission announced decisions in a 

 number of cases involving freight 

 charges between certain points. In the 

 case of the Jackson & Perkins Co., 

 Newark, N. Y., against the Southern 

 Pacific and other railroads, the commis- 

 sion held that the refrigeration charge 

 of $70 per car on nursery stock from 

 points in California to Newark, N. Y., 

 is excessive to the extent it exceeds 

 $40 per car. At the hearing of the 

 case it was pointed out that much of 

 this traflSc moves during the winter 

 months and when moved via the north- 

 ern route does not require refrigera- 

 tion after passing out of the warm 

 dimate.

IDAHO NUBSEBYMEN MEET. 



The third annual convention of the 

 Idaho Nurserymen 's Association was held 

 at Boise July 9 and 10. Although the 

 attendance was not large, it was an in- 

 teresting meeting. President Charles T. 

 Hawkes, of Caldwell, in his address, after 

 pointing out some of the needs of the 

 trade, concluded: "It is the despair as 

 well as the glory of our occupation that 

 the public invariably judge every nursery- 

 man by the poorest one they know. It 

 therefore behooves each of us to do his 

 part and do it well, remembering his 

 responsibility to raise the standard."
