It s])eaks well for the inpiortance of the nursery 
business when a city is founded by a nursery com- 
])any. “Orenco,” Oregon, is merely a contraction of 
the words Oregon Nursery Com])any. This city was 
founded in 1896 by the Oregon Nursery Company and 
now has churches, schools, stores, fire department, 
and in fact everything that goes to make a city. The 
■l) 0 ])nlation is 300. Last January the city was incor- 
jiorated and now has a mayor and other city officials.

L. AY. Hall Co., of Rochester, New YTirk, has filed 
a certificate of incor])oration, capital of $2,500. Thev

A number of improvements are being made by T.

The city council of Charles City, Iowa, has at last 
decided to give the Sherman Nursery Company fire 
])rotection by extending the mains to the nnrseiy 
])lant. This is done only after the barns of this com- 
])any have been burned to the ground twice in the last 
two years. This will require one thousand feet of 
four inch pijie to be laid at a cost of about $800. In¬ 
cluding horses, implements and buildings the Sher¬ 
man Nursery Company has sustained a loss of several 
thousand dollars.

I have a ])iece of New Jersey innck (new) ground 
which is never under water; fairly well drained and 
I should like to know what a Nurseryman could grow 
or tail on such ground successfullv. Information 
would be appreciated. 
AI., New elersey. 
As the ground is well drained it should be suitable 
for Ericaceous phuits such as Rhododcitdron.^, Azalea.^, 
VdfCinciDns, Kahnlas, etc., and would undoubtedly 
grow the AYillows and Poplars, Sweet Gum, Ma(]nolki 
(jhiiica, Ja])anese Iris, Eiihdlus. 
It may be some of our readers will give the result 
of Ids ex])eriences in crop])ing this kind of ground.

Enclosed find a sample of Blue Spruce infested 
with scale. Shall be glad if you will tell me how to 
treat it. I have sprayed my white Pines and Blue 
S])ruce twice with lime sulphur solution and in addi¬ 
tion with fish oil soap with some results, but I am in 
doubt whether this is the right remedy or not. Last 
summer I had a terrible time fighting red spider on 
Oaks, Elms, ALagnolias and shrnbbery. Shall be 
glad of any information you can give me. F. R. 
The sanqde of Spruce was so dried as to be all 
crnmbled u]) when received and it was impossible to 
identify the pest that was affecting it.
