THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
HI 
NEW CHINESE SCHOOL OF FORESTRY 
(Consul General Thomas Sammons, Shanghai, Jan. 14.) 
During the past few years much attention has been 
given by foreigners in China, as well as by many thought¬ 
ful Chinese, to the question of afforestation. A very 
practical movement in this direction is being conducted 
by the Nanking University under the direction of Prof. 
Joseph Bailie, an American citizen. 
In reviewing the work. Prof. Bailie states that the co¬ 
operation of the Director of Forestry in Manila has been 
secured in the establishment of a School of Forestry in 
the University of Nanking. The Director has offered to 
the University of Nanking the services of two experts 
sent by the United States to the Bureau of Forestry in 
Manila to lay out the course of study, investigate condi¬ 
tions, put the school in working order, deliver lectures, 
etc. It is also understood that the head of the Bureau 
of Forestry in Peking has enthusiastically indorsed the 
project. 
The European war has rendered it impracticable to se¬ 
cure assistance for the project in the West, and it is the 
hope of those interested that public-spirited citizens in the 
large cities of China will aid by offering scholarships to 
'the new school. The Forestry Fund Committee of 
Shanghai has sent six students to the School of Forestry 
in Manila by the scholarship method, some of whom have 
giaduated, and has shown its approval of the School of 
Forestry at the University of Nanking by awarding three 
scholarships to that institution this spring.— Commerce

BLACK PEARL RASPBERRY 
The Kelsey Nurseries. St, Joseph, Missouri, are offer¬ 
ing a new raspberry “Tbe Black Pearl.” Many claims 
are made for it, the result of six years of observations. 
1st. Extreme health of cane and foliage. Nothing ap¬ 
proaching it has been shown by any of the other sorts. 
All Raspberry growers know that healthy plants mean 
capacity for heavy fruiting. 
2nd. Extreme hardiness of plant. Even the tips of the 
canes have generally gone through the winter in good, 
bright condition. 
3rd. This variety will produce a good, paying crop the 
second season after planting. Fifteen months after the 
plants are set, you will be picking good crops from then. 
This enlarges the opportunity of the tenant farmer and 
those who must have prompt returns. 
4th. They commence ripening a week earlier than Com- 
bcrland and continue to give good pickings throughout 
the raspberry season. 
5th. The quality is exquisite. As a shipper, it holds up 
and handles better than any of the other kinds. 
It originated near St. Joseph and is a great favorite 
with the raspberry growers of that locality.
