DESTROY EGG MASSES OF TUSSOCK MOTH AFTER 
LEAVES FALL 
to develop into moths. 
The year after the p<*st in 1895 there were vmy few 
tussock caterpillars in the city of Washington. The pest 
was not nearly so abundant this year as in 1895, and 
there is no reason to believe that there w ill he any fewer 
next year than there have been this year unless there is a 
general campaign against the egg masses after the leaves 
have fallen. -

Enclosed we hand you a card just received from I). M. 
Andrews, Roulder, Colorado, and our riqily thereto. Mat¬ 
ters of this kind {luhlished in nurserymen’s trade papers 
it seems to the w liter would create an interest among 
nurserymen in such stocks and they in return would 
create interest in their clients. 
We are just beginning the development of a shrub and 
tree seed business and in securing stocks we buy seeds. 
Recently we got some rose seeds from an eastern collec¬ 
tor at 50 cents per iiound for the seeds in the hips. After 
cleaning out these hips and separating the blanks that 
contained no meats, w e had mighty little good seed to the 
pound. 
It is astonishing how" little knowledge the average 
American nurseryman possesses with regard to shrub 
and tree seeds. 
Trade journals for nurserymen we think should he 
well filled with information and discussions w ith regard 
to propagating stocks from seeds and cuttings. Ignorance 
all along the line, among the nurserymen particularly 
and then their clients is w hat makes the nursery business 
an uninviting occupation. 
Yours truly, A. H. Lake. 
According to the Daily Consular and Trade Reports 
arrangements are being made for a commercial test of a 
recently discovered method of concentrating apple cider 
by freezing and centrifugal methods. If this is a success 
it will he possible to concentrate 5000 gallons of the or¬ 
dinary apple cider to 1000 gallons with only the water 
removed. It w ill he readily seen what an advantage this 
will he in shipping and more general use. 
The Seventh Annual Report of the New Zealand Asso¬ 
ciation of Nurserymen has been received and show s it to 
he in a nourishing condition. They evidently believe in 
thorough organization in the antipodes. In addition to 
the National Association as it may he termed, eight dis¬ 
trict councils have been formed to deal w ith local mat¬ 
ters and advise and assist the national executive. The 
net increase of members the past year has exceeded forty.

Gentlemen:— 
Referring to your favor of shruh and tree seeds. I 
note that you give Rosa ArUansana as .syn. for blanda. 
This is evidently an error as ArUansana is eonfined to 
Colorado and the upper Missouri region and as now un¬ 
derstood is entirely distinct from //. blanda. 
Yours truly, I). M. Andrew's.
