iensis or the Japan pear. Therefore, taking into consideration 
the number of seed per pound P. calleryana is much the cheap¬ 
est. 
Seedlings of P. ussuriensis have in some cases been planted 
directly in the orchards and there top-worked to the standard 
pear varieties. This procedure is, however,, not to be generally 
recommended because we know the logical place to graft two 
distinct species is at the crown. We know, too, that to -top 
work seedlings requires a great amount of individual attention 
on account of the variation in habit of growth of seedling stock. 
Therefore, it has been found necessary to develop resistant var¬ 
ieties which form the trunks and main limbs of the disease re¬ 
sistant trees. In this way the tops of the trees are standard¬ 
ized. Through inoculation experiments there were found two 
varieties of P. cummunis which were practically immune to 
blight, Old Home and Estella and two or three cultivated varie¬ 
ties of P. ussuriensis chief among which are Chieh Li and 
Hsiang Sui Li. These varieties when grafted on Chinese roots 
and top-worked to our standard commercial pear varieties give 
the pear grower a tree with the roots, trunk and main limbs 
immune to the ravages of pear blight. Practical pear growers 
estimate that these trees when top-worked will be 75 to 90 per¬ 
cent proof against the disease. This means that the disease 
will be confined in the commercial variety, to the tops of the 
trees, where it may be readily discovered and eradicated.

N URSERYMEN BEN EEIT 
Tree planting weeks are now on throughout the United 
States. Reports indicate activity in every state. Civic 
and agricultural clubs are working with the nurserymen 
“To make each community a better place in which to 
live.” 
Most encouraging reports come from almost every slate 
and from Canada. The support of “Plan to Plant Anoth¬ 
er Tree” is liberal. 
Suggestions and ideas for improvement are offered by 
leading nurserymen. 
The appeal to us for suggestions and ideas on how to 
carry out tree planting week programs are increasing 
each day. 
The press of the country as shown by clippings re¬ 
ceived indicate that this great army of editorial writers 
believe in “Plan to Plant Another Tree.” 
It is worth a whole lot of consideration for nursery¬ 
men to he linked together with civic and agricultural 
clubs and the Farm Bureau Federation in one big effort 
“To Make America the Garden of the World.”

GOVERNORS ENDORSE TREE PLANTING PLAN 
Many Governors say that “Plan to Plant Another Tree” 
is a good thing. 
Many of them have proclaimed Arbor Day in their state 
to fall within the period set for Tree Planting Week. This 
gives it their endorsement, and they pledge their cooper¬ 
ation. In states where Arbor Day is arranged by the 
Board of Education, the same cooperation is developing. 
Space in Arbor Day bulletins has been given and cooper¬ 
ation promised. 
Increasing requests for aid in the preparation for com¬ 
munity activities during Tree Planting Weeks, makes it 
apparent that our movement is increasing in its effect all 
over America. These requests are coming continually in¬ 
to the headquarters of “Plan to Plant Another Tree” at 
Aurora. Illinois. 
The slogan. “Plan to Plant Another Tree” is of great 
value to the community because it is a suggestion to do 
something; and then, too. there is something about it that
