The Florists^ Review 



Adoust 7. 1919. 



J. A. Askew, formerly head of the 

 Hyde Park Nursery Co., at Tampa, Fla., 

 has opened a nursery on Broad Creek 

 road, at Norfolk, Va. 



M. L. Davey, the "expert" tree man, 

 is a member of Congress. He regards the 

 tree as the symbol of life, as the flag is 

 the symbol of liberty. 



Notice of the death of George Ander- 

 son, engaged in landscape and nursery 

 work in Philadelphia for many years, ap- 

 pears in this week 's obituary column. 



The Massachusetts Nurserymen 's Asso- 

 ciation held its annual outing July 31. 

 The members visited the Harvard 

 Botanical Gardens, at Cambridge, in the 

 morning and later went in automobiles 

 to Nantasket Beach and enjoyed a shore 

 dinner. 



HEAMNO ON REFRIGERATION. 



The first consideration of the hear- 

 ings on perishable protective tariff No. 1 

 was given by nurserymeu last week 

 when A. H. Hill, of Dundee, 111., and 

 Alvin E. Nelson, of Chicago, attended 

 the sessions at the Hotel La Salle, in 

 Chicago. The carriers occupied several 

 days in presenting their side of the case. 

 Opportunity for shippers to appear came 

 later. It was the opinion of the repre- 

 sentatives of the A. A. N., after confer- 

 ring with attorneys at the Chicago hear- 

 ing, that the proposed changes, so far 

 as they will affect nurserymen, are 

 rather to their advantage than to their 

 disadvantage. If any action is thought 

 to be desirable, it will be taken at the 

 New York hearings, which begin Sep- 

 tember 2. 



No change is to be made in freight 

 rates. The proposed tariff concerns only 

 the service rendered by the carriers in 

 transporting perishable products. Ep- 

 frigerator or fully insulated cars will 

 be furnished for such products and 

 charged for at the rate of $5 per trip. 

 It is expected by nurserymen that this 

 change will enable them to procure re- 

 frigerator cars without the delays 

 hitherto necessary when the shipper had 

 to wait his chance. The change will 

 also substitute a uniform rate for the 

 service in place of the uneven fees 

 charged formerly. 



YOUR SHARE OF THE CREAM. 



Are You Getting It? 



At the convention in June the Ameri- 

 can Association of Nurserymen voted 



almost unanimously to take over the or- 

 ganization for market development and 

 the activities of the Nurserymen's Na- 

 tional Service Bureau. Every member 

 of the association is therefore entitled 

 to all the advantages that there are to 

 be had from the publicity campaigns 

 which the bureau has under way. 



But this isn't the kind of a proposi- 

 tion where you just sit still, and have 

 all the dividends handed to you on a 

 golden platter. 



What you get out of the work of the 

 bureau will depend largely upon what 

 you do yourself. The first and most re- 

 sult-producing action you can take is to 

 make sure that the best newspapers in 

 the territory in which you can sell are 

 using the syndicated articles which the 

 bureau is supplying free to newspapers- 



We plan to supply at least 1,000 news- 

 papers with these articfles for this fall 

 and next spring and summer. That is 

 about three papers to every member of 

 the A. A. N. 



But to be sure that these articles 

 reach the papers where they will do the 

 most good, w'^e must have the cooperation 

 of you men who are selling nursery

The Other Side of the Coin. 



Under the new arrangement, by which 

 the association takes over the market 

 development campaign, every member 

 of the association will be paying his 

 share of the expense of the market de- 

 velopment campaign after June 1, 1920. 

 But until then all will be sharing the 

 advantages of the market development 

 work alike. 



Therefore the only just plan is for all 

 to help pay for the campaign this year. 



A good many new subscriptions to the 

 market development fund have come in 

 since the convention; and several others 

 have been promised. But there are still 

 a good many who have not yet cooper- 

 ated to the extent of "saying it with a 

 check."
