 HIII, Des Moines, la.. 



In England it is stated that the num- 

 ber of export orders, especially for the 

 United States, exceeds anything known 

 in the past. The orders for nursery stock 

 are particularly heavy. 



William A. Peterson, the Chicago 

 nurseryman, wears the golden star of the 

 members of the Forest Preserve Commis- 

 sion of which Peter Reinberg, the well 

 known florist and president of the Board 

 of County Commissioners, is chairman. 



Theodore J. Smith, of W, & T. Smith 

 Co., Geneva, N. Y., recently resigned as 

 a member of the executive committee of 

 the American Association of Nursery- 

 men and J. Edward Moon, of Morrisville, 

 Pa., has been eleeted by the executive com- 

 mittee to fill the vacancy. 



Workers at the nurseries in Chester 

 county. Pa., are extremely scarce this 

 fall. In former years scores of so-called 

 "tramp" workmen reported each fall 

 and spring for the nursery work, but this 

 year there are few of them. One of the 

 leading nurserymen says that many of his 

 experienced men have been attracted by 

 the unusually high wages at the muni- 

 tion plants, and that the labor shortage 

 will remain acute as long as the war lasts. 



CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION. 



The California Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion, in annual convention in San Jose, 

 elected the following officers: President, 

 Max J. Crowe, of Gilroy; vice-presi- 

 dents, J. E. Bergtholdt, of Newcastle, 

 Charles W. Howard, of Hemet, Henry 

 Ruehl, of San Jose, T. E. Mabee, of 

 Fresno, and George F. Otto, of San 

 Diego; secretary-treasurer, Henry W. 

 Kruckcberg. The selection of the next 

 meeting place was left to the executive 

 committee. A ladies' auxiliary was or- 

 ganized with officers as follows: Presi- 

 dent, Mrs. John Vallancc, of Oakland; 

 vice-president, Mrs. Henry Ruehl, of San 

 Jose; treasurer, Mrs. C. E. Jackson, of 

 Cupertino; secretary, Mrs. E. H. Elmer, 

 of San Jose. S. H. G. 



INDIANAPOLIS. 



The Market. 



The debilitating forces have been 

 overthrown and the market has re- 

 claimed itself. The feeling of restraint 

 in accepting orders has ceased, and one 

 breathes more easily. It is a hard 

 proposition to make the public under- 

 stand the shortage of flowers, for the 

 people feel that is the florist's business 

 and up to him. 



Conditions did not make a right-about- 

 face — not in the least — but stock is in 

 more ample supply and of large variety.
