THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
333 
— 
I received very encouraging replies from Northern 
Pacific, Milwaukee, Rock Island, Colorado Midland, Santa 
Fe, Union Pacific, and others, all of them saying they would 
give matter careful consideration when it came up. 
Later I received letter from the Union Pacific dated 
Chicago, September 3d, stating that at recent conference of 
Transcontinental lines held in San Francisco, it was decided 
to publish same rates West bound as in effect East bound. 
This means quite a reduction and practically benefits every 
nurseryman on and east of the Missouri River. 
This change will become effective as soon as notice can 
be filed with Interstate Commerce Commission, and no 
doubt will be in time to take care of any shipments moving 
in and after October.

TEXAS ORANGE GROWERS 
The Texas Citrus Growers Association will make an 
exhibit for South Texas of not only citrus fruits, but vege¬ 
tables and farm products, at the National Horticulture 
Congress held at Council Bluffs, Iowa, November 15th to 
20th. The aim of this exhibit will be to show what products, 
truck crops and general farm crops, are grown in the Texas 
Coast Country. The exhibit made for this show will consist 
of oranges, figs, other citrus fruits and all kinds of vegetables 
to be had at the season of the year, and staple crops, as 
sugarcane, rice, etc., although the main effort will be fruits. 
The fruit growers, land owners and land dealers expect 
to spare no effort and no expense toward making the very 
finest and most attractive exhibit possible, especially of 
fruits, as Satsuma oranges and magnolia figs, which are 
coming to be great factors in the development of that 
Country. 
The showing of such an ehixbit as this at this National 
Horticulture Congress at Council Bluffs will be one of the 
very attractive features of the exhibit and one worth going 
a long distance to see. 
A NEW RECRUIT 
I got your address from an old copy of your paper. I 
have just purchased a nursery stock and established nursery 
here, but have a limited experience in the business. I desire 
greatly to secure a work or “Treatise” on “Helps for a 
Beginning Nurseryman,”- or “Plant Culture,” or some such 
work. If you can point me to such a work or help me to 
get it, I will appreciate it. 
I have a lot of seedling stock to graft or bud. I can do 
some things but am much in need of general instruction.

ANSWER 
We are much interested in learning that you are organiz¬ 
ing a nursery establishment in Idaho and take pleasure in 
wishing you every success. 
We do not know that we can refer you to any book which 
will cover the exact ground that you desire covered, or that 
will give you just the kind of information that you need in 
your particular situation and stage of the business. Prob¬
