CIRCULAR LETTER ADDRESSED TO NEW YORK 
NURSERYMEN 
George G. Atwood, Chief Bureau of Horticulture and Nursery 
Inspection, State of New York, Department of 
Agriculture, Albany 
HARRISON NURSERY COMPANY, YORK, NEBRASKA 
Information has just come to hand that the above 
Company has just completed a new packing and storage 
house. It is loo x 120 feet, 22 feet to ceiling, with a 2 foot 
pitch to the sides, constructed of brick and tile, the walls 
and roof containing double air chambers with a perfect 
s 3^ s t e m of 
ventilation. 
Being so well 
built it is not 
expected that 
heat will be 
necessary to 
keep out the 
frost. It is 
equipped with 
hoist and 
trolley system 
for handling 
heav}^ boxes, 
Judgjing 
from their 
very attrac¬ 
tive cata¬ 
logue, the New Packing and Storage House, 
Harrison Nur¬ 
sery Company has a well equipped plant and a good 
line of stock. They are to be congratulated on the growth 
of their business. 
It is in such localities as the treeless plains of Nebraska 
that the value of nursery business to the country is most in 
evidence. 
Twenty-five years ago when the Harrison Brothers 
started their business, they were true pioneers. Nearly 
ever\" tree or shrub they planted must have been more or 
less new to the country; there were no established nurseries 
to draw on for experience, but they stuck and succeeded, 
and we hope they will,continue their good work for many 
\"ears to come. 
PEYTON & BARNES DISSOLVE 
The nursery firm of Peyton & Barnes at Boonville, Mo., 
has been dissolved by mutual agreement. Mr. Barnes

buys three-fourths of the growing nursery stock and nearly 
all of the propagating equipment, and will do an extensive 
nursery business under the new firm name “Peyton 
Nurseries.” The ownership being T. R. Peyton & Sons. 
January i, 1913. 
Dear Sir; 
As it is not practicable to get all of the nurserymen of the 
State together at once at one place I take this means of ad¬ 
dressing you. 
There are several matters of importance to which I invite 
your atten¬ 
tion in the 
pa r a g r a p h s 
following. I 
shall be 
pleased to 
have a letter 
from 3mu in 
response t o 
this communi¬ 
cation and 
ask your co¬ 
operation t o 
the end that 
the trade shall 
have all the 
assistance 
that the de¬ 
partment o f 
agriculture 
can properly render and that our certificates of inspec¬ 
tion shall never be questioned. It is our desire to enlarge 
and improve our inspection service. 
Requirement 
1. Persons bringing nursery stock into the state are 
required by law to notify the commissioner of agriculture of 
the fact and also to hold all shipments unopened and un¬ 
disturbed until authorized to do so. 
San Jose Scale 
2. Nurserymen should be very much more particular 
than some of them have been in the choice of locations for 
planting. No plantings should be made adjacent to old 
hedge rows or other trees known to be infested by San Jose 
Scale. 
Fumigation 
3. Nurserymen must give more attention to scions and 
bud sticks to be sure they are free from scale It is recom¬ 
mended that scions and bud sticks from whatever source 
be both carefully inspected and fimiigated. This course 
is necessary to prevent a wide and general distribution of 
scale throughout the blocks. 
Harrison Nursery Co., York, Neb.

Root Galls 
4. Nurserymen must give more attention at digging time 
to the discard of trees and plants that have galls on the
