AUGUST ROLKER & SONS, 51 Barclay Street, NEW YORK CITY 



Our Selling Agents in N. Y., N. J. and Eastern States Territory 



plant this season and plantings will 

 be greatly curtailed. So few fruit 

 trees are being bought this year that 

 in some cases orchards are being 

 rooted out in order that the land may 

 be available for other crops. The 

 agents find that practically the only 

 business left is in ornamental trees 

 and shrubs and there is also a falling 

 off in these owing to the lack of new 

 building or the laying out of new 

 grounds. One local firm had 90,000 

 rose seedlings frozen on the docks in 

 New York, the stock being a complete 

 loss. 



PITTSBURGH. 



Samuel Geddis has disposed of his 

 business in Oakland and entered the

Edward Shelton James has been en- 

 gaged as manager of the flower shop
