Des Moines, lA.^The Grand View Nursery Co. has completed its fine new office building and warehouse at East Ninth and Hull streets. A Barrel Famine was predicted for fruit growers by Dr. Burrell at the convention of the Illinois State Horti- cultural Society at Urbana. Trees when planted on lawns or in open parks look much better if slightly raised on a mound. When planted in a depression, as often seen, the effect is not nearly as good. The annual convention of the Wash- ington State Horticultural Society wil! be held at Walla Walla, southwest of Spokane, January 29-31. Fruit men from all over the state will be there and a fine exhibition of fruit is expected. Flushing, N. Y.—The final dissolu- tion of the firm of Parsons & Sons was effected at a meeting at the temporary office of the firm on Rose street. Thus ends one of the oldest nursery estab- lishments in the United States, the late Samuel B. Parsons and men associated with him being pioneers of this indus- try. Many noteworthy shrubs were in- troduced to this country through this firm, notably the flowering dogwood and the weeping beech. Much of the good work done by the company will be con- tinued by men who were connected with it, notably Patrick Lawlor, the organ- izer of the Flushing Nurseries. Western Association of Nurserymen. The eighteenth annual meeting of the Western Association of Nurserymen was held at Coates House, Kansas City
