The Florists^ Review 



JANOABT 8, 1920. 



In 1917 nursery stock ranked second 

 among the exports to the United States 

 through the port of Nantes, France, hav- 

 ing a valne of $105,015. In 1918 it was 

 third, at $66,863. 



Thb Leonard Coates Nursery Co., Mor- 

 gan Hill, Cal., has bought thirty acres 

 of land in Brentwood from the Balfour, 

 Guthrie Co. This land will be devoted 

 entirely to the production of nursery 

 stock. 



The Englewood Nursery Co., Leonia, 

 N. J., has been incorporated with a cap- 

 ital of $60,000. The incorporators are 

 Thomas H. Heminsley, of Englewood; 

 C. W. Schroter, of Leonia, and W. H. K. 

 Davey, of Belleville. 



Many nurserymen of the state will at- 

 tend the annual meeting of the New York 

 State Horticultural Society at Bochester, 

 N. Y., January 14 to 16. This will be 

 the second meeting of the organization, 

 which is a merger of the New York State 

 Fruit Growers' Association and the West- 

 em New York Horticultural Society. 



Commercial apple growers of Vir- 

 ginia suffered a loss of thirty to thirty- 

 five per cent, or considerably more 

 than $3,000,000, last season from con- 

 trollable diseases and insects, according 

 to conservative estimates made by field 

 men of the Virg^inia extension division at 

 Blacksburg. They estimated that cedar 

 rust was responsible for fifty-three per 

 cent of the loss, the other damage being 

 distributed among bitter rot, codling 

 moth, scab, frog-eye leaf spot, and other 

 miscellaneous dLeases and insects. 



BTTD SELECTION OFFICEBS. 



W. T. Kirkman, Jr., of Fresno, was 

 elected president of the newly incorpo- 

 rated Nursery Bud Selection Association 

 of California at a meeting at San Fran- 

 cisco December 20. J. E. Berg^holdt, 

 of Newcastle, was elected vice-president, 

 and Max J. Crowe, of Gilroy, secretary 

 and treasurer. A conference will be 

 held next month to discuss purchase of 

 a nursery site on which the association 

 hopes to experiment with a view to im- 

 proving nursery stock. 



ANDBOMEDA JAPONIOA. 



Will Andromeda japonica be hardy 

 here, in middle New Jersey, planted in 

 nursery rows, and how can it be pro- 

 pagated! E. M. — N. J. 



This andromeda should be perfectly 

 hardy in middle New Jersey. There are 



several methods of propagation. Layer- 

 ing is sometimes practiced and ripened 

 wood can be rooted in a cool house in 

 winter. The most satisfactory plan, 

 however, is to gather and sow the seeds 

 in flats or pans of sandy peat soil. In 

 this they will germinate readily if care- 

 fully watered and grown in a tempera- 

 ture of 50 degrees at night. Some grow- 

 ers prefer to grow these and other plants 

 of a simitar nature from seeds sown on 

 the surface of finely chopped, dry 

 sphagnum moss. Bhododendrons and 

 azaleas are best grown in this way also. 

 Seedlings should be transplanted into 

 flats of sandy peat as soon as they can 

 be handled, which means while they are 

 yet quite small. C. W.
