Hale, Vice-Pres. Qeoroe C. Seager, Rochester, N. Y., Sec'y. Prof. Fred. W. Card, ol the Rhode Island College, will conduct a school of horticulture, opening at Kingston, Feb- ruary 20, 1901,andoontinuingsix weeks. Last year's course was very successful. Western Wholesalers Meet. It is the unanimous opinion of members of the Western Wholesale Nurserymen's Association that there will be a consider- able rise in the prices of nursery stock before sprirg. A discussion of the sub- ject occurred at the annual meeting at Kansas City, December 11, and the fact was brought out that the available stock is the shortest it has been in years and that the supply is certain to be found far short of the demand when spring opens. This is especially true of the larger fruits, apples, pears and peaches, etc., and of cherrits. Apples, it is said, will be found very scarce, and cherries extremely so. The association membership embraces the states of Alabama, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Okla- homa Territory and about thirty mem- bers were present. The following officers for the ensuing year were elected: Presi- dent, A. L. Brook, Topeka, Kas.; vice- president, R. H. Blair, Kansas City,Mo.; secretary and treasurer, E. J. Holman, Leavenworth, Kas ; executive commit- tee, Peter Younger, Geneva, Neb.; lis, Ottawa, Kas.; R. S. Welch, Shenan- doah, la.; J. H. Skinner, Topeka, Kas.; A. C. Griesa, Lawrence, Kas. Moving Large Trees. The possibility of moving mature elms from one place to another without injur- ing branches or roots has often given a new lease of life to trees that otnerwise must for one cause or another either per- ish or dwindle away by degrees. Tree life is nothing more than a practical sur- vival of the fittest, a history of a struggle for light and moisture
