The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 13, 1919. 



of course, be missing, but this makes the 

 call for native stock all the better. I 

 am hoping that the nursery trade will 

 be educated to use American-grown 

 stock, as there is no question that every- 

 thing we have heretofore bought in Eu- 

 rope can be successfully grown here. 

 The prices are going to be higher, and 

 probably will remain so, but for that 

 matter the nurseryman has never been 

 getting prices which enabled him to do 

 a legitimate mercantile business. It is 

 probably the nurseryman's own fault, 

 but I believe he, too, is waking up. A 

 great difficulty has been the fact that 

 nurserymen did not realize what large 

 overhead expenses they were carrying, 

 nor did they write off enough for sur- 

 plus and overgrown stock. The time 

 has certainly come when nurserymen 

 should put their businesses on a stand- 

 ardized accounting basis and know just 

 where they stand with regards to profits, 

 or, as has been the case in the past, the 

 lack of profits." 



FIND MUCH BABBEBBY. 



At least 500,000 common barberry 

 bushes were found in nurseries and 

 150,000 more were located on private 

 and public grounds in 300 Iowa cities 

 and towns in the barberry eradication 

 movement conducted in wheat-growing 

 sections last summer by the U. S. De- 

 partment of Agriculture, cooperating 

 with state agricultural forces. 



PAINESVILLE, O. 



As it is said of Virginia, "Mother of 

 Presidents," it may also be said of 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., for in this locality 

 are twelve or more successful business 

 firms, formed by men who in their early 

 days were employees of this concern. 

 Not only here, but in some of the lead- 

 ing establishments in the larger cities, 

 are men wlio at one time were employed 

 here. 



General Manager Kobert George, of 

 the Storrs & Harrison Co., is back at 

 the helm after spending the winter 

 months in California. 



C. H. Shumaker, the genial treasurer 

 of the Storrs & Harrison Co., is the 

 father of a daughter born recently. 



S. E. Welch, foreman of the whole- 

 sale and retail order departments of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., reports that, the 

 way orders are pouring in, 1919 promises 

 to surpass all previous years. 



Robert H. Botley, of the Schmidt & 

 Botley Co., of Springfield, O., is now 

 with the Storrs & Harrison Co., and has 

 charge of all the greenhouse propaga- 

 tion. Mr. Botley 's superior knowledge 

 in this line has already spelled success. 



Burr T. Belden, bookkeeper and as- 

 sistant secretary of the Storrs & Har- 

 rison Co., is walking to and from work, 

 a distance of three miles, to get in trim 

 for the strenuous work of the busy sea- 

 son. 



T. E. Norman & Sons Nursery has had 

 a force of men digging shrubs and orna- 

 mentals all winter, in order to be ready 

 for the heavy spring sales. 



Julius Kohankie, nurseryman and 

 landscape architect, is busy planting 

 some of his spring orders. 



E. E. Huntington, nurseryman and 

 seedsman, has taken the contract for a 

 large landscape planting at the Good 

 Hold Farm, Mentor, O., recently pur- 

 chased by a man from Cleveland. 



W. B. Cole, of the Avenue Nurseries, 

 is looking forward to a prosperous year.
