The .Journal of the International

Home Vegetable Gardening from A 

 to Z, by Adoliih Kruhm of the Garden 

 Magazine. Published by Doiibleday 

 Page & Co. A book primarily for the 

 amateur but not to be overlooked by 

 the professional growers who can find 

 much of technical value in its well 

 writtin chapters. "No expense has 

 been spared," the publishers tell us. 

 "to make this book in every way the 

 last word for the millions who want to 

 make this year's garden a bigger, 

 surer patriotic success." Mr. Kruhm 

 has filled the bill to perfection with a 

 wor'riy and very timely volume. The 

 upper half of most of the pages is de- 

 voted to pictures illustrating the text 

 and showing how the various garden 

 operations should be done, from photo- 

 graphs taken by the author during the 

 past ten years. There are also thirty- 

 two full-page pictures in color showing

Augusta, Ga. — Louis A. ' Bercknians 

 and P. J. A. Berckmans, Jr., announce 

 their retirement from a generation of 

 relation to the nursery business to en- 

 gage as consulting horticulturists to 

 all who need expert advice in rela- 

 tion to the cultivation and upkeep of 

 orchards, private grounds and parks. 

 They are also prepared to discuss 

 pruning, spraying, the control of plant 

 diseases and kindred subjects from 

 the standpoint of long and successful 

 practice. 



In cci.nection with the foregoing we 

 are in receipt of a notice to the effect 

 that P. J. Berckmans Company, incor- 

 porated, have applied for a receiver- 

 shi|) on account of the ex|)iration of 

 their charter, which would occur Tues- 

 day, March 12th, and L. A. Berckmans 

 has been appointed receiver ot the 

 company. The receivership is, of 

 course, not due to the result of any 

 insolvency whatever, but is a legal 

 actioii made necessary by circum- 

 stances surrounding the organization 

 of the corporation at this time, and 

 the receivership will be empowered to 

 close out the business and distribute 

 the assets among the stockholders of 

 the company, composed of Mrs. Edith 

 P. Berckmans, P. J. A. Bercknians, L. 

 A. Berckmans and R. C. Berckmans. 

 The whole proceedings are designed to 

 ximply technically handle all the de- 

 tails connected with the distributing 

 of the interests of the stockholders. 



The P. J. Berckmans Company was 

 for about forty years operated by Mr. 

 P. J. Bercknians himself, and twenty 

 years ago it was incorporated.
