The Earl Ferris Nursery Co., of Hamp- 

 ton, la., suffered a severe loss by fire 

 April 25. Practically all the buildings 

 were destroyed, together with much stock 

 that was awaiting shipment. The loss is 

 placed at $50,000, with partial insurance. 

 Spontaneous combustion in some packing 

 material caused the fire. 



Charles W. Howard, of the Howard 

 Eose Co., Hemet, Cal., has no doubt about 

 the result of the quarantine insofar as it 

 affects rose plants. * ' California will sup- 



gly hybrid teas for the whole United 

 tates," he says, "and other states can 

 take care of the demand for hardy varie- 

 ties. " "It will take a little time to bring 

 about the desired result," Mr. Howard 

 predicts, * ' a^d no doubt in some quarters 

 there will be some hardships to undergo, 

 but it will work out to the best advantage 

 of all and the time will be surprisingly 

 short." 



PROSPERITY IS AHEAD. 



The few lean years of the war will be 

 followed by unprecedented prosperity, 

 according to Thomas I. Ilgenfritz, secre- 

 tary and treasurer of the I. E. Hgen- 

 fritz' Sons Co., proprietor of the Monroe 

 Nursery, Monroe, Mich. He believes 

 that nurserymen are now about to re- 

 ceive some of the rewards of which 

 they are worthy. 



Business has been good for the Mon- 

 roe Nursery this spring, states Mr. 

 Ilgenfritz, and it is his opinion that all 

 marketable stock will be cleaned up. 

 Prospects for a further increase next 

 year are bright, says Mr. Ilgenfritz. 



"There has been an exceptionally 

 strong demand in both fruit and orna- 

 mental lines," says Mr. Ilgenfritz, 

 "and, although prices have advanced 

 materially, which was made necessary 

 by a short supply and overhead expense, 

 few complaints have come in from cus- 

 tomers because of the advance in prices, 

 as they seemed to expect to pay more 

 for nursery stock, as well as for all 

 other commodities."

Weather conditions during the last 

 week were not particularly good. Much 

 rain fell, and on the day preceding 

 Mothers' day there was a steady down- 

 pour. This did not interfere greitly 

 with the day's business, for, according

to reports gathered from the uptown 

 stores, business was up to the usual 

 standard and in some cases exceeded all 

 expectations. 



Cut stock was plentiful with the ex- 

 ception of carnations, which were not in 

 large supply and the prices of which 

 went as high as $15 per hundred. How- 

 ever, the quality was excellent and al- 

 though high-priced there was no 

 difficulty in selling them. Excellent 

 snapdragons are arriving daily and 

 meet with ready sale. Some of the best 

 of the season are seen at this writing.
