ANNOUNCEMENT. 
I take pleasure in announcing that I was formerly a member of the 
firm composed of C. A. & J. E. Stoner trading as “The Battlefield 
Nurseries” at Gettysburg, Pa., and I now own the Westminster Nur¬ 
sery at Westminster, Maryland. I have disposed of my half interest 
in the title “Battlefield Nurseries” to C. A. Stoner and I now remain 
owner of the undividen one-half interest in the growing nursery stock 
known as the Battlefield Nurseries at the time of my retirement there¬ 
from May 17, 1905, and will also supply my trade therefrom.

i'riends will avail themselves of the low rates which have been made, 
to visit Colorado and the Rocky Mountains. An attractive itinerary 
has been prepared embracing all the principal points of interest in 
the Rocky Mountain section.

The American Grape Acid Association announces that the reward 
of $25,000 for the discovery of a successful process of producing cream 
of tartar in commercial quantities from grapes is still offered. To make 
cream of tartar from grapes is not difficult. To do it cheaply, and to 
manufacture the acid in commercial quantities is not so easy. The 
chemists of the agricultural colleges ought to be able to draw down 
that twenty-five thousand. Pacific Fruit World. 
One of the largest irrigating enterprises in the country is being pros¬ 
ecuted by the Canadian Pacific Railway in the western Province of 
Alberta. This railway owns some 3,000,000 acres of land east of 
Cal pity. This land is fairly satisfactory for grazing, but the rain-fall 
is ton scanty to admit of the growth of cereals. A gigantic irrigating 
canal was commenced in the spring of 1904. This canal will be some 
eighty miles in length, and will carry water enough to irrigate over 
100,000 acres. The water will be taken from Bow River near Calgary 
and distributed by tributary canals over this immense tract. Not 
all the great irrigating enterprises are confined to the domain of Uncle 
Sam. 
A GOOD YEAR IN FLORIDA. 
budded pecans preferred. 
National Nurseryman. 
We are enclosing you herewith $1.00 for subscription to the National 
Nurseryman from August 1905 to August 1906. We wish to say that 
we have been well pleased with your paper and do not want to miss 
a copy of it. 
The season for extreme southern nurserymen has been exceptional¬ 
ly good this year, and most of our trees at this day are fully a 
grade larger than they usually are. We are making a specialty for 
the trade of budded pecans, Japan persimmons, figs, Muscadine grapes 
and Amour River privet. " 
We are glad to note that nearly all nurseries are selling the budded 
pecans and the business of raising seedlings, to be sold as seedlings, 
is becoming smaller every year. This is as it should be, as we do not 
consider a seedling pecan tree any more reliable than a seedling peach, 
or apple tree. 
If you have the information on hand, we would thank you to give 
us a list of the states that require entomologists certificates, and the 
list, of officials in the different states, with whom they should be hied.

SUGGESTION FOR A FUTURE PLACE OF MEETING. 
While with the Western Freight Classification Committee at Charle¬ 
voix, Michigan, we were especially attracted and interested in that 
place as one that would be most desirable for a meeting of the National 
Nurserymen’s Association. 
We found Charlevoix an exceedingly delightful place where we could 
be assured of pleasant weather, or at least not hot weather, for the 
holding of our meeting. We found the Inn Hotel, situated close to 
the depot of the P. M. Railroad, a most beautiful place situated on 
Pine Lake at the mouth of Traverse Bay. The Hotel is 440 feet in 
length, four stories in height, and on one side has a double verandah 
each 400 feet long, with a single on the other side, as well as a verandah 
at the end. These verandahs are wide and make exceedingly pleasant 
places for informal gatherings. They have a nice assembly room 
in which to hold our meetings, and rooms for entertainment. The 
hotel is located in grounds of thirty acres, nearly half of which is an 
elegant park nicely laid out. On the other side are located golf links, 
tennis courts, etc. It is about a half mile from the center of the town, 
and can be reached either by foot or by ferry. A large and elegant 
swimming pool heated for use in cool weather with lake bath when 
weather is warm enough. The hotel contains 260 rooms all opening 
outside, and can accommodate 500 guests, and to my surprise they 
offered us about the same rates as were given us at West Baden Springs 
this year, including our rooms for meeting, etc. 
This is one of the most accessible points where we can have any 
such advantages, as it is as accessible to the Eastern parties as Chicago, 
and to the western parties as Detroit, making a pleasant railroad or 
boat ride from Chicago, and the Eastern members could take boats 
from Buffalo and make an agreeable trip. 
It seems to me it would be well to keep this place in mind for our 
future meeting. We would have all the advantages that we would 
have at Thousand Islands, or any other point where we would have the 
assurance of cool weather, and the benefits of a watering pace. The 
time of the meeting should be arranged for the light of the moon, which 
would make it so much more attractive on the water. And the most 
favorable railroad rates could be obtained—the tourist rate from all 
sections being better than our fare and a third rate.
