The Florists^ Review 



Mat 8. 1919. 



The newspaper printed the following: 



"Every variety of barberry — the common, the 

 purple, the bronze-leaved and all the rest — are 

 under fire, and it is hoped that Illinois will 

 soon be comparatively free from the pest. The 

 Department of Agriculture is coSperating with 

 a similar department at the University of Illi- 

 nois in this work." 



"The newspaper, of course, refers to 

 the common barberry, because of the 

 part it plays in the spread of wheat 

 rust," continued Mr. Rockwell. "As 

 every nurseryman knows, the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture has stated fre- 

 quently that the Japanese barberry is 

 not a host of the wheat rust. 



"From information obtained from 

 other sources, I know that other news- 

 papers have been guilty of the same 

 carelessness in remarks about wheat 

 rust and the barberry. Every wide- 

 awake nurseryman should be on the 

 alert for this sort of thing and take the 

 matter up immediately with the editor 

 of his local newspaper when such state- 

 ments appear, so that the public may 

 be correctly informed. I know of a 

 number of instances in which beautiful 

 hedges of Japanese barberry have been 

 torn out as a result of this misdirected 

 'patriotism' on the part of the news- 

 papers. 



' ' This information is being sent to 700 

 newspapers which the service bureau is 

 supplying regularly with educational 

 articles on small fruits, shade trees, 

 shrubs, etc. 



"Another 'warning' that has gained 

 considerable publicity is the one which 

 declares that planting should not be 

 done this year because of the seventeen- 

 year locust. More damage is done every 

 year to newly planted stock through 

 careless planting and ignorance than the 

 seventeen-year locusts could do in seven 

 times seventy-seven years. 



"The Nurserymen's National Service 

 Bureau, of course, does everything it 

 can to combat this sort of thing, but in- 

 dividual nurserymen should cooperate 

 by watching their local newspapers." 



PAINESVILLE, O. 



The shipping season for trees, shrubs 

 and perennials is gradually coming to a 

 close, owing to the advanced condition 

 of the stock; but this does not mean that 

 the busy season is over, for the next 

 problem is planting and, although this 

 is well under way, it will take several 

 weeks to complete the job. In the plant 

 order departments of the Storrs & Har- 

 rison Co., the shipping is in full swing, 

 but over a week behind, which is an indi- 

 cation of the great demand for this kind 

 of stock. 



T. R. Norman & Sons have purchased 

 a large quantity of transplanting stock 

 from Jayne & Baker, who recently dis- 

 solved their partnership. One item was 

 26.0n0 Berhoris Thunberjjii. 



Robert H. Botley, of the Storrs & Har- 

 rison Co., will visit in Springfield, O., 

 in the near future. Mr. Botley has busi- 

 ness interests in Springfield. 



There probably is no business firm in 

 this locality that has made more rapid 

 strides in such a short time than the 

 Wayside Gardens, of Mentor, O. Not 

 only is the management building up a 

 high-class trade by sending out stock 

 of dependable quality, but is an- 

 nually increasing the acreage. This year 

 twenty-five acres were added, making a 

 total of sixty-five acres under cultiva- 

 tion, devoted to perennials, shrubs, 

 gladioli, etc.
