THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN. 
regularly overruns the five hundred mark by a good deal, and 
any member who comes an hour later than the time set for the 
opening of the meeting invariably finds that he has already 
missed some important talk and discussion. No time is con¬ 
sumed with lengthy devotional exercises, with addresses of 
welcome and responses. There is no display of oratory, of 
wit, or humor, which is intended to amuse the crowd, rather 
than for instruction and elevation, and no music. There is 
nothing except that which applies directly to the furtherance 
of the serious aims and objects of the society. In these respect 
it differs from many meetings of farmers and fruit-growers, 
and its example could be followed with benefit. 
NEW MANAGER POMONA NURSERIES. 
For twelve years previous to the death of William Parry, in 
1898, T. E. Steele of Palmyra, N. Y., was connected with the 
firm of Parry’s Pomona Nurseries, having charge of the office 
and order department, and looking after the minor details of 
the business. For the past four years he has been connected 
with the firm of D. Landreth & Sons, in charge of the tree 
and plant department of that establishment. On February 1st 
he assumed control of Parry’s Pomona Nurseries, and will be 
prepared to furnish stock of fruit and ornamental trees this 
spring. He has devoted more than twenty years to the nur¬ 
sery business. 
PROFESSOR BAILEY HIS CHOICE. 
James E. Rice, Westchester County, N. Y., writes to the 
Rural New Yorker : 
The selection of Prof. Bailey to head the Agricultural College would 
give universal satisfaction to the agricultural students of Cornell and 
to people generally who understand the real needs of the position for a 
progressive man, one who is a natural leader who has high ideals and 
the ability to execute them. His selection would extend Cornell’s fame 
throughout the world more perhaps than any other choice that could 
be made, and would guarantee to Cornell’s many well wishers, and to 
farmers and legislators in New York state in particular, that the work 
of agricultural education would go forward with a push and a scope 
that would be a credit to the university and to the Empire state. 
James McHutchison of McHutchison & Co., 218 Pulton street, was 
n Rochester last month on a Western trip. 
C. S. Harrison is president, E. F. Stephens is treasurer and Peter 
Younger is a director of the Nebraska Parks and Forestry Association. 
Howard A. Chase, Philadelphia, is president of the Pennsylvania 
Horticultural Association. 
The Pioneer Nurseries Co. of Salt Lake City, Utah, met with a dis¬ 
astrous fire during the week of February 8 th. destroying the greater 
part of their office and contents. Nurserymen will confer a favor by 
sending them at once copies of catalogues and price lists to restore their 
files. 
The H. S. Taylor Company, Rochester, N. Y., have recently pur¬

Special features make the implement shown above 
particularly adapted to the nurseryman’s use. The 
spring teeth can be used for deop or shallow cultiva¬ 
tion, thoroughly pulverizing the soil and preserving 
the moisture; they can be set at any desired angle, giv¬ 
ing them the necessary “suction” to force them into 
the hardest soil. 
THE REED 
PIVOT AXLE CULTIVATOR 
is under instant control of the foot. Slight pressure 
throws either wheel and its gang to right or left. If a 
rigid axle cultivator is desired you have it by simply 
removing a bolt and gangs will swing independently. 
A model for ease of handling and thorough cultiva¬ 
tion under all conditions.
