PUBLISHER’S NOTES 
Ellwanger & Barr}^ the well-known 
nurserymen of Rochester, N. Y., were 
awarded the highest prize for the 
largest and best collection of fruit trees, 
ready to plant, at the New York State 
Fair at Syracuse in September. They 
also received the highest award for the 
largest and best display of grape vines 
and bush fruit plants and for the largest 
and best display of strawberry plants. 
In addition they received over fifty 
prizes for their display of fruits. 
One of the interesting features of 
the third annual exposition of the Na- 
tional Horticultural Congress to be held 
at Council Bluffs, la., November 10 to 
19, will be a series of very thorough 
trials and competitions for spraying ma- 
chines under the auspices of the Amer- 
ican Society of Agricultural Engineers. 
Accurate practical tests for every class 
of spraying machine have been arranged 
and the contest, the first of the kind 
ever arranged, promises to be of un- 
usual interest to horticulture. Profs. 
J. B. Davidson and Laurenz Greene of 
the Iowa State College at Ames, la., 
are the committee in charge of the 
spraying machine contests. The officers
