LARGE PEACH ORCHARD PLANS. 
J. G. McNair, of St. Louis, Mo , who is well-known among 
the fruit-growers of Georgia, has just organized the “United 
Orchard Company,” under the laws of Missouri, for $1,500,000 
capital, says the Peach Grower. 
The company will own the largest orchard in the world. 
Included in the consolidation are five large orchards in Mis¬ 
souri, Illinois and Arkansas. The total number of trees will 
bu 1,026,000; acres of land, 10,240, situated in Missouri, Texas, 
Alabama, Illinois, Georgia and Arkansas. Their Illinois, Mis¬ 
souri and Arkansas orchards are now the largest in their re¬ 
spective states. They will have 1,019 acres in Georgia, and 
will add 1,500 more, making the Georgia orchard the largest. 
WEST VIRGINIA’S LICENSE LAW. 
Our attention has been called to what is declared to be a 
drastic law in West Virginia affecting nursery agents only. It 
is probable that N. W. Hale, of Tennessee, will bring the mat¬ 
ter before the Detroit convention. 
Country Life in America for June contains as usual a large amount 
of matter of interest to lovers of out-door life. The illustrations, as

Martin A. Chase, treasurer ; Charles W. Howard, secretary, of River- 
s ide, California, has issued a booklet showing excellent half-tone en¬ 
gravings of field roses on own roots. 
The World’s Work for June is the annual “ World at Play” num¬ 
ber with timely articles on vacation topics. The practical side of the 
modern vacation is discussed by Lawrence Perry and Dr. A. T. Bris¬ 
tow considers “ The Most Healthful Vacation,” from a doctor’s point 
of view. There is a brilliant word picture of a trip “ On Horseback 
Through Yellowstone National Park. 
Vines lend themselves with facility to many and varied uses. Walls, 
pillars and embankments may be clothed in them ; walks exposed to 
the burning sun may be covered ; and a back porch, a post sunk in a 
neglected spot, a sunny back door, all furnish opportunities for thrifty 
vines, says the Delineator. For permanent effect, nothing surpasses 
the Boston or Japanese ivy. It is hardy and luxuriant, climbs firmly, 
and does not run across openings of doors, windows, etc. 
“ The Farmer’s Business Handbook ” is the title of a volume by I. P. 
Roberts, of Cornell University. It is one of the Rural Science series 
which is edited by Prof. L. H. Bailey. This volume is a manual of 
simple farm accounts and of brief advice on rural law. Of course 
much of what is here discussed is of as much value to the nurseryman 
as it is to the farmer, especially part II which treats of rural law.
