Luther BurbaDk, Santa Rosa, Cal., has issued his 1901 supplement to 
‘ New Creations in Fruits and Flowers.” Interested nurserymen 
should send for it. 
An especially interesting catalogue is that of the Fancher Creek Nur¬ 
series, George C. Roeding, proprietor, Fresno, California. Within the 
96 pages are listed the best things in ornamental and fruit stock, with 
all the particularly attractive fruits characteristic of the rich climate of 
the Pacific coast. 
The spring seed guide of William Fell & Co., Hexham, England, 
has arrived. This royal seed and nursery establishment has been estab¬ 
lished upwards of a century. The catalogue is complete in every 
respect and should be on the desk of every nurseryman who has occa¬ 
sion to use seeds. It is handsomely printed and covered. 
The Spring catalogue of the Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville. O., 
for 1901, shows that this progressive firm is fully abreast with the times. 
The book contains 168 pages and lists everything that is desirable in 
fruit or ornamental stock. It is a reference book of value to all who 
are interested in horticulture. This company has had 50 years’exper¬ 
ience.

TREE PLANTING IN CITIES. 
Regarding systematic planting of trees in cities, Frederick 
VV. Kelsey, New York city, says: 
The planting and care of street trees is a subject of more than pass¬ 
ing interest. Few appreciate the transformation in residential dis¬ 
tricts, both in urban and suburban communities, by the proper develop¬ 
ment of well-planted streets. The results in improved appearance, • 
general attractiveness and comfort during the summer season are most 
favorable and out of all proportion to the comparatively small cost. 
This has been especially marked in Washington, Minneapolis and other 
cities, where a comprehensive system of street planting has been 
carried into practical effect. Paris and some of the other foreign cities 
also furnish striking examples of the beauty and benefit to be derived 
from municipal undertakings of this kind. 
Under an act of the legislature, approved March 28, 1893, New Jer¬ 
sey has already the requisite legislation, enabling any city, township, 
borough or village to inaugurate a street tree planting system as a part 
of the municipal function.

enclosed subscription for your valuable publication. It tells us more of 
the hopes and fears of the nurserymen of our country than anything else 
that comes to me in print. It shows us that all nurserymen have to 
work for a living. How you can furnish such a fund of information 
for $1.00 I do not understand, unless yon enjoy working at low wages.”

Chas. J. Maxon General Manager Central Michigan Nur¬ 
sery Co., Kalamazoo : “ Enclosed find New York draft for $1. We
