E. A. BuNYARD, who is widely known 

 among British nurserymen, asserts that 

 he has demonstrated by comparative tests 

 that the blackberry known in America as ' 

 Himalaya is identical with the German 

 variety called Theodore Reimers. 



The action of the Federal Horticultural 

 Board in prohibiting plant imports will 

 affect m^y business interests and it is 

 within the pbssibilities that the pressure 

 may become so strong that the board will 

 have either to reverse its course or fight 

 for its own life. 



The nurserymen as a body look upon 

 the labor situation as the principal diffi- 

 culty to be overcome before the spring 

 rush, and in localities where the cessation 

 of munitions-making has relieved large 

 bodies of men this problem already is less 

 acute, although wages still are high. 



FOREST TBEE SEEDUNGS. 



The demand for forest tree seedlings 

 and native shrubs has been excellent 

 this fall, even better than last season, 

 while many spring orders for orna- 

 mentals already have been booked, re- 

 ports the Forest Nursery Co., McMinn- 

 ville, Tenn. 



"The supply of forest tree seedlings 

 is limited in this section and the demand 

 is good, far better than last season," 

 says Boyd Bros., proprietors of the com- 

 pany. "Some items, such as mulberry, 

 locust, ash and poplar, are about cleaned 

 up at present. Native shrubs are mov- 

 ing freely and there is no large stock in 

 the south that we know about. Sales 

 with us are better than last season and 

 we are booking some good orders for 

 delivery next spring. "We anticipate a 

 good spring business and clean-up. 



"We have been handicapped to some 

 extent on account of the labor shortage, 

 but, as the boys will be back from 

 France by spring, all soon will be mov- 

 ing nicely. We have no kicks coming." 



THE FRUIT TREE SITUATION. 



That during the next two years there 

 will be the greatest shortage of fruit 

 trees and small fruit stock in the history 

 of the nursery business is the belief of 

 T. J. Dinsmore, president of the Farm- 

 ers Nursery Co., Troy, O. Discussing 

 the situation in regard to fruit stock, 

 Mr. Dinsmore said: 



"We do not know where the supply 

 of fruit stock is to come from for the 

 next few years. Trees and small fruits 

 will bring the highest prices ever known. 

 There are some varieties that cannot
