Competent landscape men again are in 

 strong demand for nurseries that do a 

 retail business. 



"We sell a tremendous lot of shrubs 

 and perennials to florists through list- 

 ing them with prices in the Classified sec- 

 tion of The Keview." It was a promi- 

 nent middle-western nurseryman who 

 said it. 



William C. Barry, perennial president 

 of the Western New York Horticultural 

 Society, was again reelected at the 

 meeting held at Kochester January 26 

 to 28. Most of the nurserymen of the 

 state were present, there being a fine 

 exhibition and a large attendance of 

 fruit growers. 



Nurserymen, whether or not they deal 

 largely in pecan trees, will be interested 

 in Farmers' Bulletin No. 700, issued 

 January 18 by the U. S. Department of 

 Agriculture. It is by C. A. Beed and 

 bears the title: "Pecan Culture; with 

 Special Eeference to Propagation nnd 

 Varieties. ' ' 



The Aurora Nursery Co., Aurora, 111., 

 is organizing a department to handle re- 

 tail planting work in any part of the 

 central states in which it is not repre- 

 sented by florist agents or customers. The 

 plans were developed by J. A. Young, the 

 manager, while confined to the hospital 

 with a severely cut wrist. 



DISTRIBUTION OF IMPOBTS. 



Since the federal quarantine law 

 went into effect there have been com- 

 piled many interesting statistics not 

 previously available. For instance, the 

 Federal Horticultural Board, with its 

 records of the disposition of every case 

 of nursery stock imported during the 

 last two years, finds the following to 

 have been the distribution by states 

 of all nursery stock brought into this 

 country from abroad during the fiscal 

 years ended June 30:
