brick buildings at Neosho. They had 

 been rented for several years and are 

 used for the offices and packing houses. 

 This purchase included the land sur- 

 rounding the buildings, amounting to 

 eight and one-half acres. The holdings 

 of the company also have been increased 

 by the addition of 180 acres and a num- 

 ber of good buildings to the nurseries 

 ten miles east of Neosho.

MIOHIGAN CONDITIONS. 



"Our trade throughout the summer 

 and fall has been satisfactory, a large 

 percentage of the business for fall de- 

 livery running to ornamentals, which 

 we grow extensively for landscape 

 trade," says C. A. Krill, president wid 

 general manager of the PrudenUal 

 Nursery Co., Kalamazoo, Mich. W» 

 do not handle many fruits in the fall, 

 but have as many orders, measured by 

 dollars and cents, on the books now for 

 spring delivery as we had a year ago at 

 the middle of January. There is every 

 probability that there will be sufficient 

 winter trade to exhaust the supply of 

 fruit stock well in advance of the plant- 

 ing season. Fruit trees of all kinds are 

 scarce and should not be equal to the 

 demand for at least two, and probably 

 three years. There is also a lively de- 

 mand for small fruits, with a decided 

 underproduction of plants. With these 

 conditions prevailing, together with 

 scarcity of labor in the nurseries and 

 increased cost of production, higher 

 prices are certain. 



*'A8 to ornamentals, we have experi- 

 enced a much livelier demand for de- 

 ciduous shrubs than we anticipated 

 early in the season, and this demand we 

 expect to see increased now that the 

 war is over. There will be for the 

 spring trade a shortage of roses and 

 some varieties of shrubs, vines and 

 evergreens, which Europe usually fur- 

 nishes to the American nurserymen. On 

 the whole, the outlook appears bright 

 for the nursery business." 



New London, O. — E. E. Lee has a 



house comprising 1,600 square feet of 

 glass which he has not been using, but 

 in view of the removal of fuel restric- 

 tions he expects to put it in commission 

 for the winter. 



Evansville, Ind. — The Evansville Nurs- 

 eries supplied the decoration for the 

 convention of the War Mothers of 

 America, which met in the Colosseum re- 

 cently. It consisted of a flag composed 

 of Crego asters in red, white and purple, 

 the stars being formed of buds of white 

 asters. It measured 3x5 feet and con- 

 stituted a fitting emblem for the meet- 

 ing of these patriotic mothers.
