Lively Lambs.— The Atchison Globe has 
the following good one: “A tough, wiry- 
looking man called on a banker, and asked 
for a job. The banker asked the man what 
he could do. 
“Well, I used to be a foot racer,’’ the 
man replied. “I am the fastest man in 
this counti^r.’’ 
“The banker‘replied that he couldn’t use 
a foot racer, however fast he might be, 
but finally told the man he would give 
him work on a sheep ranch he owned in 
the short grass country. The man went 
out there, and in a week the banker fol¬ 
lowed. 
“How are you getting along?’’ the 
banker asked the new man. 
“O, well,’’ he replied, “the sheep are all 
right, and easy, but I am having a good 
deal of trouble with the lambs.’’ 
“Lambs?” the banker replied, in sur¬ 
prise; “I have no lambs.” 
“O, yes, you have,” the new man re¬ 
plied; “come out here, and I will show 
them to you. I had a hard chase after 
them, but finally caught them.” 
“Whereupon he led the banker out to the 
corral, and showed him 10 jack rabbits 
carefully tied to the fence with strings.’ 
American Nurserymen's Association. 
The twenty-eighth annual meeting of this 
Association was held at Detroit June 10-12. 
It was considered one of the largest and 
best meetings ever held by the Associa¬ 
tion. In former years less attention was 
paid to the programme, the chief object 
of the meeting being to bring members 
together for business or for renewing old 
friendships. A vast amount of trading is 
done at these gatherings; stock is sold and 
contracted for, and a season’s plans may 
depend on the business done here. This 
year, without neglecting the social or busi¬ 
ness features of the meeting, a fine pro¬ 
gramme was prepared. It is doubtful 
whether any better set of papers was ever 
presented before a gathering of horticul¬ 
turists than the following: 'rhe Nursery¬ 
man as the Editor Sees Him, H. W. Col- 
llngwood; Publicity for Nurserymen, Frank 
B. White; The Agency Business, Howard 
A. Chase; The Louisiana Purchase Expo¬ 
sition, F. W. Taylor; The Whole Question 
of Varieties, Prof. L. H. Bailey; Insur¬ 
ance for Nurserymen, Wm. Pitkin; The 
Nurseryman’s Work in Texas, E. W. Kirk¬ 
patrick; The Nurseryman and His Custo¬ 
mers, J. H. Hale; Importance of Orna¬ 
mental Stock, W. C. Barry; Spraying and 
Fumigating Up To Date, Prof. J. B. Smith; 
The Cost of a Tree, Geo. A. Sweet; The 
Nursery Interests of the South, G. L. 
Taber. It would be impossible to give a 
fair synopsis of these papers. Most of 
them were clear, boiled-down statements 
of facts which, unlike most nursery trees, 
could hardly be cut back. There was a 
very small per cent of “wind” in this pro¬ 
gramme. The nurserymen seemed dis¬ 
posed to take hold of living and vital ques¬ 
tions, and discuss them thoroughly. The 
Association is in excellent condition 
financially, having a surplus of more than 
$2,500. Its strength and power is fully 
recognized, and it appears to be quite able 
to protect its Interests. President Ilgen- 
fritz, in his address. Intimated that while 
business in the past has been good it may 
be overdone—that too many trees are be¬ 
ing started, so that demand may fall be¬ 
hind supply. Several nurserymen prl 
vately expressed the same opinion. c.

A PRACTICAL 
“Guide to Hardy 
and Ornamentals.” 
BY T. J. DWYER. 
The great value of this hook is found in the fact 
that every word of it is written from the author’s 
personal experience. During the whole time of its 
preparation, he never consulted another hook or 
another author. He has planted and cared with his own hands for every plant 
described in this hook, and has written from that experience and observation alone. 
Another important feature of the hook is the grouping of subjects. On Apples, 
^or example, you find all information as to the prejiaratioii of soil, planting, fertil¬ 
izing, pruning, varieties, etc., all conveniently grouped under one general heading. 
Then the varieties for Summer, Autumn and Winter are classed by themselves, and 
those for home use distinguished from commercial varieties. The same is true of 
pears, plums, peaches, strawberries, cane berries, grapes and other fruits that one 
wishes to know about. The ornamentals are treated in a class by themselves. Here, 
too, the author has written entirely from his own experience. He planted, on his 
own ground, every hush and vine he describes, and plucked the flowers from them 
with his own hands. 
The hook is convenient in form, as well as in ai-rangement. It is bound in stiff 
paper, reinforced with cloth. Price postpaid, 50 cents. Address 
THE RURAL NEW-YORKER, 409 Pearl Street, New York.
