This week's obituary column contains 

 a report of the death of Samuel W. La 

 Pointe, a nurseryman of Monroe, Mich. 



De Witt Hansen, manager of the Gal- 

 braith Nursery Co., Pairbury, Neb., re- 

 cently passed through Chicago with fish- 

 ing tackle on his way to northern Michi- 

 gan. 



A NEW building owned by B. E. St. 

 John, of Fairmont, Minn., and used for 

 the storage and packing of nursery stock, 

 was recently burned to the ground, with 

 the contents. The loss was estimated at 

 $2,000. 



The Utah Nursery Co., of Salt Lake 

 City, has filed an amendment to its 

 charter, increasing its capital stock from 

 $50,000 to $125,000 and changing its 

 place of business from Salt Lake City to 

 Sugarhouse. 



A NEW nursery concern has been incor- 

 porated at Bedford CSty, Va., under the 

 name of the Flat Top €>rchards. Inc. The 

 capital is $50,000. The officers are: 

 President, H. H. Hall, New York city; 

 vice-president, B. L. Sale, Buffalo, N. Y. ; 

 secretary and treasurer, Nelson Sale, 

 Bedford City, Va. 



At St. Paul the Sunset Orchard Land 

 Co. has secured a judgment for $1,346.86 

 against the Sherman Nursery Co. A 

 motion for a new trial was denied July 

 29. The Sunset concern alleged that trees 

 to the value of the verdict, which it had 

 bought from the defendant in a consign- 

 ment of about $5,000 worth, had died, 

 and alleged an a^eement by the Sher- 

 man concern to make good the resulting 

 loss. 



SCALE ON SHBXJBBEBY.

P. S. D. 



Your hawthorns are infested with the 

 San Jose scale. The piece of stem for- 

 warded was completely incrusted with 

 it. The larger "scale" you need not 

 worry about. This is merely the cocoon 

 of some moth or butterfly, the e#Set va- 

 riety of which I cannot tell, as mej are 

 so numerous.

you can do little now without damaging 

 the foliage, but as soon as the leaves 

 have fallen, give them a spraying with 

 either the lime-sulphur solution or one 

 of the proprietary soluble oil prepara- 

 tions. Use a Bordeaux or other fine 

 nozzle when applying the spray and be 

 sure to damp every portion of the bark. 

 To make doubly sure, give a second 

 spraying in early spring, before growth 

 starts. 



The San Jose scale is one of our worst 

 pests and must be shown no quarter, as 

 it attacks many trees and shrubs. It 

 will be time and money well spent to 

 spray them even if you see no scale on 

 them. Among the trees, ^d shrubs com- 

 monly attacked are jpoplars, willows, 

 chestnuts, currants, gooseberries, ap- 

 ples, pears, plums, cherries, peaches, 

 hawthorns, lilacs, Japanese quince; dog- 

 woods, particularly the shrubby varie- 

 ties; cercidiphyllums, and, among ever- 

 greens, Euonymus radicans. C. W.

According to an authority in the 

 apple trade, the possibilities and proba- 

 bilities of the 1912 crop in the "Box 

 Apple Territory" are so vast that esti- 

 mating them is reduced to mere guess- 

 work. There are about 275,000 acres 

 planted in apple trees in Oregon, Wash- 

 ington and Idaho. More than 225,000 

 of these acres have been planted dur- 

 ing the last decade, and so much of
