THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
597 
All “Nurserymen Special Cars” will be consolidated at 
Oxford Junction on the morning of June 6th, thus giving us 
a daylight run together through Western Nebraska, and 
Eastern Colorado. 
It would be advisable for as many as possible to make 
reservations at the leading junction points above men¬ 
tioned, so that the various cars containing delegates can be 
handled so as to make connections at the proper points. 
The meeting place in St. Louis for incoming delegates 
will be at the Burlington Offices at 728 Olive St., up to 12 m. 
June 6th. After this time near the Information Bureau 
Union Station. A committee of St. Louis Nurserymen will 
be glad to meet you all, and assist you in any way possible. 
Hope the above arrangements will be satisfactory to the 
majority of the Nurserymen, and that we will see a large 
delegation here on the morning of the 6th. Reservations 
for the St. Louis Sleepers can be sent to F. A. Weber, 
Nursery, Mo., or to J. G. Delaplaine, City Pass. Agt.

NOTES FROM GEORGIA 
It has been unusually cold this winter. The lowest, so 
far, at Augusta, was 12 above, but as all nursery stock was 
thoroughly hardened, no perceptible injury has been done. 
A few one year figs which grew late in the fall were nipped. 
The truck gardener had much young stuff injured and 
replanting was necessitated. 
As far as we have observed, there is no injury to the 
peach buds. The orchards which have been given proper 
care and attention show a heavy lot of bloom buds, but 
unfortunately many orchards in the state have been badly 
neglected for the past two or three years and in consequence 
these orchards are in bad shape. 
Now that The Georgia Fruit Exchange has the peach 
business so well in hand and the showing made by the 
Exchange last year, this has put new life in the peach busi¬ 
ness and many new orchards have been planted this year. 
During the holidays, there was a lull for a few days, but 
the spring rush is now on and the demand for nursery stock 
is generally good. 
Apples are being planted in large quantities in the 
Piedmont section of Georgia. Ornamental trees and 
shrubs are moved in larger quantities. Much attention is 
being given to the improvement of private places and Parks 
in the South.

ICE 
“The manufacture of ice is a comparatively new industry, and 
its growth has been remarkable. In 1870, the industry had hardly 
made a beginning. But in the thirty-five years from 1870 to 190.), 
the number of establishments engaged primarily in the manufacture 
of ice for sale increased from 4 to 1,320; their combined capital, 
from $434,000 to $66,592,001; the average number of wage earners, 
from 97 to 10,101; the wages paid, from $40,600 to $5,549,162; the 
cost of materials, from $82,165 to $6,011,325; and the value of 
products, from $258,250 to $23,790,045. These figures show that 
the industry has now passed far beyond the experimental stage.”
