The exporters in the horticultural trades 

 in England, France, Belgium and Hol- 

 land all are taking action to bring the 

 American quarantine to the attention of 

 their respective governments. Interesting 

 international developments seem likely to 

 ensue. 



It develops that the Dutch steamer, 

 Botterdam, one of the largest and newest 

 afloat, which was laid up in 1916 because 

 its owners would not risk it on the sub- 

 marine-infested sea, on its first trip across 

 is bringing, in addition to a quantity of 

 Dutch nursery stock and gladiolus bulbs, 

 a number of American troops, taken on at 

 Brest. 



Assemblyman Frank Grass, of Stur- 

 geon Bay, Wis., who exports forestry seeds 

 collected from timber areas of Wisconsin 

 and adjoining states, numbered among 

 his clientele one William Hohenzollern, 

 late of Potsdam, Prussia. Just what the 

 indebtedness of this customer is Mr. Grass 

 does not state, nor what he considers the 

 prospects of settlement. But he would 

 like to collect $500 from the estate of the 

 late Nicholas Bomanoff, another of his 

 patrons, for consignments of seeds de- 

 livered before the war to the estates of 

 the czar in Russia. 



The Fruitland Nurseries and the land- 

 scape engineering business of the P. J. 

 Berckmans Co., located in the environs 

 of Augusta, Ga., have been purchased 

 by Sigmund Tarnok, who also has leased 

 the nursery lands belonging to R. C, 

 L. A. and P. J. A. Berckmans, with the 

 option of buying. The charter of the 

 first-named concern expired by limita- 

 tion March 13, 1918, and the stockhold- 

 ers decided not to ask for a renewal 

 but to close up the affairs of the cor- 

 poration. This action was not due to 

 business embarrassments, as the com- 

 pany has enjoyed excellent success 

 throughout the half century of its exist- 

 ence. Mr. Tarnok is a native of Swit- 

 zerland and has been in the United 

 States five years. He is well qualified 

 both by education and experience for 

 the undertaking upon which he enters 

 and he will retain the entire office and 

 field force of employees to continue the 

 business. L. A. and P. J. A. Berckmans 

 have been retained by several of the 

 larger fruit growing concerns in the 

 south as consulting horticulturists. The 

 sale does not affect the interests of 

 Berckmans Bros., conducting orchards 

 at Mayfield, Ga.

SPBINa PROSPECTS FINE. 



"We find the demand much greater 

 than the present supply of fruit trees 

 and berry plants and all first-class fruit 

 trees, especially apple and peach trees, 

 doubtless will be cleaned up before the 

 end of the coming spring season," 

 vfrites J. E. Stoner, proprietor of the 

 Westminster Nursery, Westminster, Md. 



"On ornamental shade trees and 

 shrubbery there is a good demand, but 

 on most items the supply will equal the 

 demand. Norway maple is in stronger 

 demand than some others, such as horse 

 chestnut, Lombardy poplar, oriental 

 planes, etc. 



"On shrubs there is a strong demand. 

 Shrubs, in fact, show an increased de- 

 mand now that the war is over, yet 

 there seems to be a surplus on California 

 privet, Berberis Thunbergii, Spiraea Van 

 Houttei, althaeas and Deutzia Pride of 

 Rochester.
