The following letter, received after the publication last 
month of correspondence on European conditions, sounds a 
little more cheerful: 
BETTER THAN USUAL 
Ed. National Nurseryman; 
Sir: Having just returned from a trip to Germany on 
Saturday, I am glad to assure you that I was surprised to find 
the nursery stock 
around Halstenbek 
better than ever 
before. In fact, the 
drouth, which in that 
vicinity was not as bad 
as in other parts of 
Europe, seemed to 
have had no evil effect 
whatever on the 
plants. Especially the 
white pine seedlings 
and transplants, as 
well as the Norway 
spruces, are in a splen¬ 
did condition, also the 
apple seedlings (5-8 
mm. diam.). Those 
American nurserymen 
who visited the nur¬ 
series of J. Heins’ 
Sons, Halstenbek, this 
summer will certainly testify the truth of this report. 
Very truly yours, 
Otto Heinecken.

GROWS APPLES ON HAW BUSH 
Orlando, Fla., Sept. 15.—Frank Johnson has succeeded in 
grafting a hardy apple stock on a haw bush and the experi¬ 
ment has been successful. The apple tree is two years old 
and has a crop of nineteen apples, which are smooth and of 
good size and when ripe will-be of good marketable stock.—
