PEAR BLIGHT AND BODY CANKERS. 
Mr. W. H. Whetzel, of Cornell University has been studying the 
relation between the recognized forms of twig pear blight and different 
types of limb and body cankers of apple trees. Of the latter, he groups 
them under limb and body cankers, crotch cankers, pruned stub 
cankers, collar cankers and scurfy blisters of body and limbs. 
Experiments made by Mr. Whetzel appear to demonstrate that 
most of these cankerous affections are nothing but peculiar forms 
of the well-known twig blight. This is a very important discovery, 
when we consider that there is every possibility and likelihood of twig 
blight being developed from the body form and vice versa. The branch 
and body forms are often, if not always, the results of the breaking of 
the bark, in other words are wound infections. This emphasizes the 
necessity of exercising great« care in cultivating and handling the 
orchard, for every wound made, is an opportunity for the entrance of 
the minute bacteria which later on develope the canker. 
PAST AND FUTURE. 
The National Nurseryman, with this issue, ends its thirteenth 
volume. The mission it has strived to conduct, the invectives which 
have from time to time appeared in its columns, are placed before 
you for your conscientious approval. If it has succeeded in its 
ambition, its purpose has been fulfilled; and if its shortcomings 
counterbalance too heavily, it cheerfully asks to be apprised on some 
of the points—in order to improve in the future. 
On the threshold of a New Year, new resolves and pledges are in 
order. That The National Nurseryman be included among your 
necessary equipment is its earnest desire—and to this end the publishers 
shall concentrate their best efforts to make this Journal an indis¬ 
pensable mouthpiece for the welfare of all interested in the nursery 
trade. 
If vou are not a subscriber, you should be. At the low price of 
$1.00 a year, postpaid, you hardly can afford to be without it.
