Connecticut Nurserymen's Association. 



The Connecticut Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation were in New Haven Aug. 9th 

 for their annual summer outing. The 

 objective point was The Elm City 

 Nursery Co. whose nurseries are lo- 

 cated just beyond Edgewood Park in 

 the new Edgewood suburb. 



The nursei-y business has become 

 one of Connecticut's important indus- 

 tries and the amount of capital and 

 number of men engaged in the busi- 

 ness would be a source of surprise to 

 those who are unfamiliar with such 

 matters. The old New England hills 

 which have in the past years become 

 unprofitable for farming purposes in 

 competition with the great West, are 

 proving to be eminently suited to the 

 production of the finest fruits, fruits 

 which compare favorably with the fin- 

 est productions anywhere in the coun- 

 try. Not only can they grow under 

 modern means of cultivation apples 

 which are as fair as the Oregon brand, 

 but they can beat them on quality and 

 keeping (jualities. The same is true 

 of peaches, pears, plums, quince, etc., 

 so that the hillsides of Connecticut bid 

 fair to soon be one great orchard and 

 add another important industry to the 

 state. The demand for ornamental 

 stock has enormously increased in 

 the past few years as parks are be- 

 ing developed in every city and 

 town and private estates and homes 

 are being rapidly evolved which com- 

 pare favorably with the finest homes 

 of Europe and practically every home 

 place even down to the smallest gar- 

 den now shows signs of care and at-

tention. Such a movement as this 

 makes an increasing demand for nur- 

 sery stock. 



The Elm City Nursery Co.'s exten- 

 sive grounds are a just source of pride 

 to all New Haveners. Tlie grounds, 

 especially about the office, are laid out 

 in a true landscape style and few priv- 

 ate estates are kept up with greater 

 care. 



After looking over the nursery the 

 association took an auto ride and din- 

 ner was enjoyed at the West Shore.
