THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN. 
plieit faith of father in son was a ra r e exhibition of the confidence he 
reposed in him. The doctrines of honor and integrity, not only in¬ 
herited but so thoroughly instilled into the mind of the younger man 
by long years of almost inseparable association with one generally 
acknowledged to be the most honorable of men, is in itself a sufficient 
guarantee to warrant the continuance of the business in the “above 
board” manner that has always been the enviable reputation of the firm 
and the members of it as individuals. For more than a year past Mr. 
Bowman was wholly incapacitated for business by his severe illness, 
during which time the business has been very ably conducted by 
Claude V. Bowman. Claude Y. Bowman will be ably assisted by his 
brother, Victor V.. who within the past year, on completion of his 
education, has become a member of the firm, and of this young man is 
said, by all who know him, who knew his father, that he is the produc 
of the same mould which produced his estimable father, the representa 
tive of sterling worth.

THE PIONEER EVERGREEN GROWERS. 
In the communication by Thomas H. Douglass, Waukegan, 
Ill., in the last issue of this journal, the sentence : “ We have 
very few evergreen seedlings, as they are very apt to mould,’’ 
should have read : “ We cellar very few evergreen seed¬ 
lings,” etc. 
As is well known, this firm has made a specialty of evergreen 
seedlings, for the last forty-one years, being the first nursery 
firm in America to grow them from seed in the open air, grow¬ 
ing millions annually since 1861 . 
CONDITIONS IN THE SOUTH. 
The J. Van Lindley Nursery Co., Pomona, N, C., states that 
the demand for nursery stock this year has been so heavy that 
it has sold out of everything except for retail orders. The 
company had to turn down orders for several hundred thou¬ 
sand peach and plum. 
Planting of peach seed this fall in the South will be quite 
heavy, but would have been much greater had it not been for 
the shortage in the peach seed crop. This firm usually sells 
several thousand bushels of peach seed, but this year it had 
barely enough for its own planting. 
In the 52 numbers of the 1903 volume, the Youth’s Companion will 
give its readers six serial stories, each a book in itself, reflecting Amer. 
ican life in home, camp and field ; fifty special articles contributed by 
famous statesmen travelers, writers and scientists, two hundred 
thoughtful and timely editorial articles; two hundred and fifty short 
stories by the best of living story-writers ; one thousand short notes on 
cuirent events and discoveries in the field of science and natural his¬ 
tory ; two thousand bright and amusing anecdotes. The subscription 
price is $1 75 per year, which, if sent now, includes remaining issues 
for 1902, the Christmas and New Year’s double numbers, and the Com¬ 
panion’s calendor for 1903, lithographed in twelve colors and gold.

THE DEMING CO., SALEM, O. 
North Carolina Horticultural Society —Twenty-third annual 
meeting at Raleigh, Oct. 29. Col. G. B. Brackett, pomologist of the U. 
S. Dept, of Agriculture, and Prof. L. H Bailey, of Cornell University ; 
were prosent. In his address Professor Bailey said: “Your apple 
exhibit has interested me greatly. Some of you seem surprised that 
the judges to-day threw out some large and well-formed apples because 
of scab. You must remember that any marking of scale or scab is a 
blemish, whatever the other merits of the fruit. I think that you are 
coming to spray mire; you will have to do so ; , As for the much 
needed transportation, I believe that if you can get the people to know 
what you can do, transportation will come. A short time ago I ad¬ 
dressed the apple growers of Nova Scotia, and about the same time a 
convention of orange growers in Florida ; now I am here between the 
two extremes. Is there any message for trait growers equally adapted 
to all those sections ? I think there is. The fundamental thing, this 
principal of universal application, is this : When you grow fruit, give 
your land up io fruit; don’t expect other crops from the land. If you 
do grow grass, let it go back on the land, or pasture it and keep up the 
fertility by the droppings of the live stock. But the thing I wish you 
to remember is this : There is no state in this union that could have a 
better apple growing development than North Carolina, and you should 
work to bring this about.” Col. Brackett said that North Carolina can 
grow fine Yellow Newton Pippins and York Imperial apples. 
Two good all round men for general nurs¬ 
ery work, and who understand thoroughly 
the growing of apple and peach trees. Must 
be first-class budders and grafters, perfectly 
sober and reliable. Steady emp.oyment.
