ness of people to venture much money 

 in ornamental work, you will readily see 

 what we have said will be found true. 

 We are optimistic, however, and look 

 forward with much pleasure to doing a 

 larger and better business in the years 

 to come." 



WEBER & SONS GET BIO OBDEB. 



The H. J. Weber & Sons Nursery Co., 

 Nursery, Mo., was advised December 16 

 that it had been awarded the contract 

 to furnish the trees, shrubs, vines and 

 roses for the United States Housing Cor- 

 poration, at Davenport, la., and Eock 

 Island, 111. The contract calls for some- 

 thing more than 22,000 ornamental 

 shrubs and 4,500 ornamental shade trees, 

 besides climbing vines and roses. 



' ' This is going to keep us pretty busy 

 for the next month getting ready to 

 make delivery about the middle of 

 March," says F. A. Weber, secretary 

 and treasurer of the company. 



* ' Owing to the influenza epidemic, we 

 have been short of help, but business 

 with us this fall has been as good as we 

 could expect under the conditions," con- 

 tinues Mr. Weber. "We had all we 

 could do with the small force of help we 

 had and it is only lately that we have 

 been able to get any stock dug for stor- 

 age. We are pretty well along with this 

 work now and if we can get four or five 

 more good days will be in good shape for 

 spring shipments. Fruit stock in gen- 

 eral is scarce throughout this section. 

 The demand is strong and we predict a 

 general clean-up on all lines of fruit 

 stock. Ornamentals are still quite plen- 

 tiful in certain lines, while other lines 

 are being pretty well cleaned up. We 

 look for a large business next spring." 



COAST NUBSEBY NOTES. 



Tree digging is in progress at the 

 Placer Nurseries, at Newcastle, Cal. 

 The output is estimated at seventy per 

 cent of normal, or 500,000 trees. A 

 loggers' donkey engine has been secured 

 to pull the digger, horsepower having 

 been used in previous years. About 

 seventy-five men are employed to handle 

 the product. 



Conferences planned for horticultural 

 week at Eiverside, Cal., early in No- 

 vember, but postponed because of the 

 epidemic, are now announced by State 

 Horticultural Commissioner George H. 

 Hecke for next June, dates to be fixed 

 later. The series includes the conven- 

 tion of the California Nurserymen 's As- 

 soeiation. M. M. 



Grlnnell, la. — C. L. Adams, formerly 

 of Manchester, la., has purchased the 

 business of William Dittmer, who is re- 

 tiring.

Plants for the Holidays 



Wire orders for Christmas. There is an exceptionally 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 fine stock of plants and will give you good 

 value for your money. We recommend that you telegraph your orders now, 

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