The nursery trade has no complaint to 

 make on the season now closing. It has 

 been far better than seemed possible a 

 year ago. 



Articles of incorporation were issued 

 recently for the Meadowbrook Nurseries, 

 104 Tenafly road, Englewood, N. Y. The 

 capital stock is given as $45,000. 



Within twenty-four hours after fire had 

 destroyed the buildyigs of the Ferris 

 Nursery Co., of Hampton, la., orders were 

 being filled, so quickly did the concern re- 

 cover from its loss. 



The California Association of Nursery- 

 men will hold its annual meeting at Riv- 

 erside May 26 and 27. One of the chief 

 subjects for discussion will be the ability 

 of California growers to supply stock 

 which can no longer be imported from 

 Europe. 



DuPUT & Ferguson, of Montreal, re- 

 port business that taxes the capacity of 

 their double store, recently remodeled and 

 enlarged. The tacking on of a nursery 

 department has proved to be a wise ad- 

 dendum and the amount of stock sold has 

 exceeded their expectations. 



WANTED— CO-OPEBATION ! 



We think The Review's idea of get- 

 ting impressions from different men in 

 the trade is a good one, as we are al- 

 ways much interested in reading every 

 article about the nursery business that 

 we see in the paper. 



We have nothing new to bring before 

 the trade, but should like to say a few 

 things. One of the most important is 

 cooperation among those in business. 

 We should like to see the nursery busi- 

 ness get on a higher plane and cut out 

 the reckless competition by price-cut- 

 ting that has been the bane of the nurs- 

 ery business for the last half century. 

 The writer has heard this tallied over 

 at conventions for a great many years 

 and little progress has been made, but 

 now, when all business is being recon- 

 structed and men are becoming accus- 

 tomed to talking more openly to their 

 competitors, we think there is some 

 chance of moving forward. Unfor- 

 tunately, the buying public usually 

 judges nursery stock by the price. Still, 

 in the last few years we have seen an 

 improvement in this and people are now 

 commencing to know some little differ- 

 ence between good trees and poor trees.
