 Thirty-eighth annual meeting, Portland, Ore., 

 June 18 to 20. 1913. 



Conrad Bros, have established a pri- 

 vate nursery at West AUis, Wis., and 

 will grow 10,000 young trees to be used 

 in ornamenting home sites. 



■ A COMPANY is forming at Davis, Yolo 

 county, Cal., to establish a nursery on a 

 160-acre tract near Grass Valley, recently 

 purchased at a cost of $10,500. 



The 1912 apple crop is said to be 

 practically cleaned up. It is estimated at 

 50,000,000 barrels. Predictions as to the 

 commercial crop of 1913 are 60,000^00 

 barrels. 



The Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards 

 Co., observing its annual custom, pre- 

 sented the public school pupils of Louis- 

 iana, Mo., May 2, with free fruit trees 

 for planting. 



In common pleas court at Louisiana, 

 Mo., May 6, in Wm. P. Stark vs. Stark 

 Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., petition 

 for appointment of receiver, depositions 

 on behalf of plaintiff and defendant 

 were received and filed. 



Three nurseries at ToppeQish, Wash., 

 suffered by fire May 5, when the packing 

 and shipping plant used jointly by the 

 Washington, Toppenish and Yakima Val- 

 ley nurseries was destroyed, with a loss 

 of about $10,000. The loss on stock was 

 not heavy, as the shipping season is about 

 over. It is stated that the fire was of 

 incendiary origin. 



' ' E'/ERY apple tree in Oregon should 

 be a pear tree; other places can com- 

 pete with Oregon apples, but no other 

 place with Oregon pears," was the decla- 

 ration made by George A. Dorris, known 

 as the "asparagus king" of Oregon, be- 

 fore the Lane County Horticultural So- 

 ciety, which met May 2 at Eugene to 

 perfect arrangements for the annual 

 meeting of the Oregon State Horticul- 

 tural Society there, June 6 and 7. The 

 meeting voiced its approval of Mr. Dor- 

 ris' suggestion. 



The official printed copy of the pend- 

 ing tariff bill as it passed the House 

 May 8 does not agree in all particulars 

 with the report of the House amend- 

 ments as printed last week. The word 

 "coniferous" is shown inserted to 

 qualify "evergreen seedlings," but no 

 age limitation is shown. Neither is 

 greenhouse stock classed with nursery 

 stock not specially provided for at fifteen 

 per cent ad valorem. The trade's para- 

 graphs, reprinted from an official copy 

 of the bill, are shown in full on page 25.

 work done in freeing the new tariff laws 

 from ambiguities. 



ATTEE A. A. N. IN 1915. 



The Panama-Pacific International Ex- 

 position will endeavor to have the 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 hold its 1915 convention at San Fran- 

 cisco, during the exposition period. 

 With the California Association of 

 Nurserymen, which already has decided 

 to meet in that city in 1915, it will 

 have representatives at the Portland 

 convention of the A. A. N. in June to 

 interest it in going west again two years 

 hence. It is probable that the Pacific 

 Coast Association of Nurserymen will 

 hold its convention in the exposition 

 city that year.

Wm. Warner Harper, Prop.

one of the greatest floral and plant ex- 

 hibits here in 1915 that it or any other 

 country has ever made at any exposi- 

 tion. The intention is to give a proper 

 representation of one of the greatest 

 industries of the Netherlan.ds. The gov- 

 ernment has already made a liberal 

 appropriation for this purpose. There 

 will be something like 500,000 bulbs 

 alone planted in the Netherlands horti- 

 cultural section at the exposition." 



Commissioner Koster intends to visit 

 a number of the big nurseries on th« 

 Pacific coast during his stay, and will 

 then go to Washington, where he will 

 confer with Dr. Loudon, the Netherlands 

 minister to the United States, and then | 

 sail for home.
