The Summit Nurseries, Monticello, 

 Fla., were recently incorporated with a 

 capitalization of $100,000. The officers 

 are as follows: President, H, K. Miller; 

 vice-president, H. A. Gossard, and secre- 

 tary-treasurer, W. P. Jernigan. 



Contemplated grading of an adjacent 

 highway is regarded as dangerous to its 

 property by the Watrous Nursery Co., Des 

 Moines, la. An injunction granted the 

 company five years ago against the county 

 board of supervisors may be invoked. 



George W. Jones, of the Valdesian 

 Nurseries, Bostic, N. C, says he believes 

 that concern has the largest stock of Mag- 

 nolia grandiflora in existence, 20,000 

 field-grown plants, even aifter having de- 

 livered to the United States government 

 22,100 in the spring of 1919. 



It is a general report that prices of 

 nursery stock have been put up only 

 enough to cover partially the increased 

 cost of labor and supplies, and that next 

 year, should these costs not fall, prices 

 must be boosted again and enough to give 

 a profit equivalent to former years '. 



The Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, 

 O., which was founded in 1854 and incor- 

 porated in 1881, has the following official 

 roster: President, W. C. Harrison; vice- 

 president and general manager, Kobert 

 George; assistant general manager, Ed- 

 ward B. George; secretary and treasurer, 

 J. H. Daytoq; assistant treasurer, C. H. 

 Shumaker. 



The park board of Kansas City, Mo., 

 has ordered W. H. Dunn, superintendent 

 of parks, to purchase between 300 and 

 400 nut-bearing trees, which will be 

 planted in various parts of the city park 

 system. Black walnut, pecan and butter- 

 nut trees will be purchased for the first 

 experiment. If they prove a success, more 

 of their kind will be added. 



IBIS TENACIOUS OF LIFE. 



Speaking of the tenacity of life of an 

 iris root, which was remarked upon by 

 William A. Peterson in his article in 

 The Eeview of September 18, last Au- 

 gust a friend of mine gave me eight 

 small clumps of iris. They came to me 

 wrapped in paper and I placed them on 

 the top shelf of an outside veranda, as 

 I was not ready to set them out that 

 day. I forgot all about them and they 

 were exposed all winter, their only pro- 

 tection being a newspaper. I ran across 

 them the first part of May and was go- 

 ing to throw them out, when it seemed 

 to me that they did not look dead, al- 



though the leaves were entirely with- 

 ered. I set them out and, much to my 

 surprise, all the* eight clumps lived, and 

 three of them bloomed (a purple va- 

 riety). They have now grown to be 

 fine clumps and have been transplanted 

 by themselves. 



If I did not know this to be a fact, 

 I doubt if I would believe it. Eight 

 months out of the ground and exposed to 

 frost and cold, and they still live!

STBAWBEBBIES DO NOT BLOOM. 



In September, 1918, I planted about 

 300 plants of everbearing strawberries. 

 Superb and Progressive, and up to the 

 present time they have never shown a 

 blossom, but they have made several 

 thousand runners. They are planted in

Your experience is rather jaii„,uju||ual 

 one and I am unable to dett^i^iiil ^ust 

 what the cause of your plants not bldom- 

 ing can be. Most probably an eascess 

 of nitrogen and a marked deficiency in 

 potash fertilizer are responsible. Straw- 

 berries love a deep, rich, nu>ia]b soil and 

 these conditions should nave suited
