The Denver Nursery Co., Denver, 

 Colo., reports a thirty-five per cent in- 

 crease over last year's business. 



Heretofore selling fruit stock has 

 been the retail nursery salesman's day- 

 time job. Ornamentals provided him 

 with after-sujjper work. Judging from 

 reports as to the supply of fruit stock, 

 the salesmen now will have to reverse the 

 usual order of things. 



"Our fall business this year has been 

 better than ever before," says O. A. D. 

 Baldwin, small fruit specialist, of Bridg- 

 man, Mich. "We have cleaned up our 

 suri)lus in good shape and look for a 

 large retail business in the spring," he 

 adds. Mr. Baldwin is introducing this 

 year a new red raspberry, which he calls 

 the Victory.

' ' While somehow we have been grow- 

 ing and selling normal quantities of va- 

 rious kinds of stock, as compared with 

 prewar times, our offerings of roses this 

 season will be twenty-five per cent less 

 than a year ago," says S. W. Crowell, 

 general manager of the United States 

 Nursery Co., Eoseacres, Miss., in dis- 

 cussing the year's business. "There is 

 an apparent shortage. of the better va- 

 rieties of roses and our supply is lim- 

 ited, with the exception of the Wich- 

 uraiana type, and we do not expect 

 these to last through the season. Shrubs 

 have sold well, especially the good com- 

 mercial sorts. There has been an excel- 

 lent demand for peonies, especially the 

 cheaper named varieties, and phloxes 

 and Japanese irises have sold readily. 

 There is a strong demand for cannas, 

 with a considerable shortage in supply. 



"Orders booked to December 15 were 

 normal, with a continual increase. We 

 have not pushed sales, feeling that the 

 limited supplies would be taken by the 

 end of the season. This may not be 

 the proper method to pursue, but we 

 wanted our customers to feel that there 

 is a shortage of stock and that there 

 would be no bargain prices this season. 



Prices Are Higher. 



"Every order booked this year 

 brought the full price. We have de- 

 cided to get full value for our stock 

 and buyers seem to feel we are right in

 healthier future for the nursery busi- 

 ness, a condition devoutly to be wished. 



"The labor situation is acute. It is 

 likely we will increase our force later, 

 but not in time to affect the planting 

 for the coming season, as each year we 

 try to finish by March 1. 



"To sum up: We have held our own 

 (luring the times of stress and we be- 

 lieve the outlook for the nurserymen 

 never was brighter. We are sure the 

 trade will come into its own if the nurs- 

 erymen will only use a little common- 

 sense and sit steady in the boat."
