think. There are no items in ornament- 

 als that cannot be secured. 



"We look for business to be better 

 for some time to come than it has 

 been in the last year or so and predict 

 that at the end of 1918-19 we all shall 

 be satisfied." 



DEMAND FOR ORNAMENTALS. 



"Business so far this fall is about 

 double what it was a year ago, and all 

 lines have been moving freely," says 

 John C. Frasor, Jr., secretary of the 

 Fraser Nursery Co., Huntsville, Ala. 

 "Early in the season fruit trees moved 

 best, but later ornamentals picked up 

 until now the orders for these are com- 

 ing in about as freely as those for fruit 

 trees. We anticipate a great deal more 

 business than we have had for the last 

 one or two years." 



COAST NURSERY NOTES. 



E. B. Jackson, well known California 

 nurseryman, died at his liome near Yuba 

 City recently. 



The Placer Nurseries, at Newcastle, 

 Cal., owned by the Silva & Bcrgtholdt 

 Co., are digging 500,000 trees, this year 's 

 output.^^ 



The Loma Rica Nurseries, of Grass 

 Valley, Cal., report booking an order for 

 1,000 pear trees to be delivered in 1921. 

 The trees are to be of the ussuriensis 

 stock, the seedlings of wliich are now 

 growing at a nursery in Kansas. 



According to information given out 

 by M. B. Pratt, chief deputy forester, in 

 a letter to the State Council of Defense, 

 a bill will be introduced at the next Cali- 

 fornia legislature to provide for a state 

 nursery, for the purpose of growing 

 stock for planting along the highways 

 and public roads and the beautifying of 

 public parks and playgrounds. The 

 measure will carry the provision for the 

 purchase or lease of a tract of land suit- 

 able for nursery purpos?s, as well as the 

 construction of ])uildings and the em- 

 ployment of nurserymen. It is esti- 

 mated that $48,0nn will be required to 

 establish the proposed nursery and 

 operate it for two years. M. M. 



Plants for the Holidays 



Prepare now for Christmas. There is going to be a big demand for plants 

 this year. The war is over and there is joy in every home; your customers will 

 want fine plants to decorate their festive boards and to make presents. There has 

 been a scarcity of help the past year and many growers had to close some of 

 their houses; a great many places closed up for good which, no doubt, will make 

 good stock scarce. We have a very line stock of plants and will give you good 

 value for your money. We recommend the placing and shipping of orders early, 

 as there is no telling what the weather or railroad conditions will be later on.
