THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
Obituary 
To THE Members of the American Wine Growers’ Association: 
Gentlemen; 
With deep regret we are obliged to announce our loss by death of 
two loyal and active members of this Association: 
Mr. H. C. Roualet, of the Roualet Wine Company, San Fran¬ 
cisco, Cal. 
Mr. Roualet died on Sejitember 26 th last at an early age of 44 
years. He was bom in France, came to this country in 1894 , and 
gained a high reputation as an expert wine and champagne maker. 
Mr. Bundschu died on September 30 th in the 69 th year of his 
age. He was born in Mannheim, Germany, in 1842 , went to San 
Francisco in 1862 , and became one of the pioneer wine growers and 
merchants of California. His death is a distinct loss to our industry. 
The Committee, appointed by the President of this Association, 
to take notice of our loss, has passed suitable resolutions which have 
been sent to the trade press and the families of our deceased mem¬ 
bers. It is fitting that formal action should also be taken at the 
coming annual meeting of this Association. 
Respectfully yours, 
W. E. Hildreth, President. 
L. J. Vance, Secretary. 
A REMINDER 
The editor of Horticulture, in the issue of that paper for Decem¬ 
ber 3 , calls attention to certain advantages and benefits in which the 
rank and file of florists—and the same is true of nurserymen— 
participate at the expense of a great amount of time and thought on 
the ])art of a feiv. The particular event to which attention is here 
drawn is the National Flower Show, to take place in Bo.ston next 
spring; and the reader is reminded that this exhibition, like others 
of its kind, which have no small importance in aiding the progress of 
the industry throughout the country, is due to the untiring efforts of 
the few on whose shoulders the responsibility rests. Those to whom 
especial gratitude is owing in the present instance are the following 
gentlemen, com])osing the schedule committee and board of control 
for the National Flower Show, some of whom came long distances to 
meet with the local members in Boston recently: Messrs. F. R. 
Pierson, Benj. Hammond, Harry O. May, W. A. Manda, A. Faren- 
wald, Wallace R. Pierson and F. H. Tratndly. 
APPLES ARE STEADY 
BARREL FRUIT MOVES WELL, BUT BOXES ARE IN EX¬ 
CESSIVE OFFERING 
New York, Dec. 2 . The apple market is in fair condition. 
Receipts this week were not heavy and the demand was active. 
Prices are a shade lower than last week, however. Baldwins range 
from $3 to $ 4.25 for the No. I’s and No. 2 ’s and something very fine 
sells up to $ 4 . 50 . . Greenings sell according to quality from $2 to $ 5 . 
York Imjierials sell at $3 to $ 4 . 75 . 
Barrel stock is doing very well, but the box apple market is in a 
very bad condition. Offerings are very heavy, far in excess of the 
demand at anything like profitable prices. Box fruit is selling here 
at about what it costs at loading stations in the west. Jonathans, 
when they are fine, bring around $ 2 , as do also Spitz. The other 
varieties, which are not much sought after, ;e 1 from 75c a box up 
and poor Jonathans bring as low as $ 1.25 to $ 1 . 50 , although they are 
in light offering .—New York Packer. 
MARTINSBURG, W. VA., AGAIN 
The name Martinsburg is being frequently heard in connection 
with new orcharding enterprises. The latest company to organize 
in that place is the Back Creek Orchard Company, which has just 
received a charter permitting it to carry on agricultural and horti¬ 
cultural operations near Hedgesville. Of the incorporators, only 
one, Mr. J. W. Wood, is from Hedgesville. The others are: G. F. 
Mikkleson, of Kensington, Md.; and A. S. Patterson, George T. 
Smith, J. A. Butler, J. W. Holloday, W. H. Ronsaville, all of 
Washington, D. C. The capital stock is $ 75 , 000 . 
HAWKEYE 
Tree Protectors 
Give dollars worth of protection at a fraction 
of a cent cost. Don’t take a chance with your 
young trees. One rabbit will kill many in a 
single night. Protect yours with Hawkeye, 
the protector that rabbits, mice ann other tree 
gnawers can’t gnaw through—the protector 
that protects against cut worms and prevents 
trees becoming skinned or bruised by cultiva¬ 
tor or lawn mower. 
Hawkeye tree protectors are elm veneer 
chemically treated. They are easily applied to 
the trees and will last until the tree is beyond 
the need of protection. 
The value of one tree is more than all the 
Hawkeye tree protectors you need will cost 
you. Send us your order before some of your 
trees are killed—You will regret it if you wait 
until too late.
