Glenn Bros., Rochester, have bought 

 the Wayland H. Mason farm, south of 

 Fairport, N. Y., for nursery purposes. A 

 number of buildings will go up at once. 



All the big orcharding and farming 

 companies recently incorporated have 

 used the word ' ' nursery ' ' in the title 

 and stated in their articles that one of 

 the objects is to grow, sell, or deal in 

 nursery stock. 



Bebtband H. Fare, proprietor of the 

 Wyomissing Nursery, Wyomissing, Pa., 

 no longer has an office at Reading, the 

 business being concentrated at the nurs- 

 ery. Mr, Farr is president of the Amer- 

 ican Peony Society. 



T. E. Cashman, the Owatonna nursery- 

 man, called the Minnesota State Horti- 

 cultural Society to order December 3 for

The Atlantic Nursery Co., Berlin, Md., 

 has been organized and incorporated, to 

 grow a full line of nursery products. 

 Propagating houses will be erected for 

 bedding stock, shrubbery, etc. The com- 

 pany has purchased the business and 

 stock of the Peninsula Nurseries, D. W. 

 Babcock, proprietor, also 165 acres of 

 fine land for nursery purposes, in addi- 

 tion to what is now used. The specialty 

 will be the production of noaterial for 

 forestry and ornamental planting, seed- 

 lings of all kinds for transplanting and 

 lining out. D. W. Babcock becomes

One of the novel sights in Mesa, Ariz., 

 is the burlap house over the young 

 orange nursery of Paul Baxter Beville. 

 Mr. Beville says it required 16,000 yards 

 of burlap, 1,.500 standards, 4,000 feet of 

 lumber, five miles of wire, two kegs of 

 nails and 1,000 laths to complete the 

 work. In addition to the cloth house 

 there are 200 firepots ready for use 

 should the weather become cold enough 

 to require them. The actual labor in 

 placing the cover equaled one man's 

 work for eighty days. Under this roof 

 there are 25,000 trees — orange, lemon, 

 grape fruit and tangerine-— 4,500 of 

 which will be put on the market the 

 coming spring.

THE OYPSY MOTH CONDITIONS. 



In his annual report the Secretary 

 of Agriculture gives the following re- 

 view of the situation as regards the 

 gypsy and brown-tail moths: 



"There was during the year compara- 

 tively slight increase in the territory 

 infested by these two destructive in- 

 sects. The work of attempting to pre- 

 vent the further spread has been con- 

 tinued in the way of clearing up road- 

 sides, in the way of the inspection of 

 all plants and plant products going 

 out of the infested territory, by the 

 study of the diseases of the gypsy moth, 

 and by the continued importation and 

 establishment of parasites and natural 

 enemies of both species from abroad. 

 Conditions within the infested terri- 

 tory continue to improve, and neither

the gypsy moth nor the brown-tail moth 

 is any longer the pest in the villages 

 and towns of New England that it was 

 even five years ago. In the woodlands 

 the damage produced especially by the 

 gypsy moth is still evident, but great 

 progress has been made in the study of 

 woodland conditions, and this study has 

 apparently arrived at the point where 

 the preservation of the forest areas in 

 New England-! seems to be a decided 

 possibility, even in the presence of the 

 gypsy moth, and this may be brought 

 about by a varied system of forest 

 management, the details of which are 

 being prepared for publication and gen- 

 eral distribution. But one new isolated 

 outbreak of the gypsy moth of any size
