SAFE AT BRUGES. 



A Pritisli trade ]'a]ier learns tliat the 

 business af the nursery of Sander &: 

 Sons, at St. Andre, Bruges. Helgium, has 

 been carrieil on by the staff during the 

 four years the town has l)een in the 

 occupation of the Germans. Messrs. 

 Sander have received a letter from the 

 manager, T. ]\Iellstrom, who is well 

 known to many readers of The Eeview 

 because of his Journeys in the United 

 States, informing them that he is well, 

 but that the nursery has suffered con- 

 siderable damage, mainly in broken 

 glass. lie also states that they have 

 been able to maintain a portion of the 

 stock of plants. It is regrettable that 

 the head of the clerical dejiartment was 

 l\illed on the d.ay before the town was 

 liberated. During the earlier jiart of 



tlie war business was ])0ssible, mainly 

 with America, but in recent times all 

 coniniunication witii the head establish- 

 ment at St. Aib.-ins has ceased, and there 

 ^\as no knowledge as to whether the 

 nursery was even in existence. 



It is to be hojied, says the Cardeners' 

 Chronicle, that the many large nursery 

 ost.'iblishments in and about (ihent ma.v 

 be etpially fortunate in escaidng total 

 destruction, as the nursery trade of 

 Ghent and Bruges was one of tlic ])rin- 

 cipal industries of this part of Jielgium.
