The Florists' Review 



Maech 11, 1920 



Small fruits are not so scarce as fruit 

 trees, but the supply is none too large. 



Lee McDonough has sold bis interest 

 in the old Douglas Nursery, at Waukegan, 

 111., to David Becher, of Chicago. 



Ebest H. Gold has started a nursery at 

 Holland, Mich., devoting his efforts 

 chiefly to the propagation of fruit 

 trees. 



The government's propaganda for 

 home planting of fruit trees is welcome 

 to nurserymen, though not so much needed 

 this season as in some others. 



Charles C. Nash, the Three Elvers 

 nurseryman, is devoting the first part of 

 March to putting up cuttings in the fa- 

 mous grape belt surroun£ng Lawton, 

 Mich. 



INSPECTION IN BHODE ISLAND. 



In view of the stringent regulations 

 in connection with interstate commerce 

 •of certain trees, shrubs and other nurs- 

 ery stock, together with the fact that 

 the Kliode Island Nurserymen 's Associa- 

 tion at its recent annual meeting, at 

 Providence, voted to call upon the gen- 

 eral assembly of that state for financial 

 assistance, the annual report of the state 

 board of agriculture presented to the 

 legislature a few days ago is of more 

 than ordinary interest and importance. 



Forty-six nurseries were examined 

 during the year and thirty-nine were 

 found to be free from injurious insects 

 or plant diseases of any kind and were 

 given certificates permitting the sale of 

 nursery stock. The entomological de- 

 partment also gave demonstrations for 

 combating insects and sprayed 10,000 

 trees for scale insects and for the cod- 

 ling moth, in addition to scouting the 

 state line for the corn borer.

NTJRSEEY STOCKS IN FEANCE. 



In the columns of a British trade pub- 

 lication a French grower gives the fol- 

 lowing summary of nursery stocks in 

 France for this season: 



"The nursery trade has been particu- 

 larly brisk this season. The lifting of 

 trees and stocks began in October with 

 quite dry weather, which was unfavor- 

 able and the cause of considerable delay. 

 Afterwards we had a severe frost at the 

 beginning of November, which still 

 further complicated matters. But since 

 this date the nurserymen enjoyed mild 

 weather and have had no stop until now. 



"The fruit stocks are nearly all sold 



out. Apple, pear, plum seedlings and 

 cherry were exhausted at the beginning 

 of the season and numerous orders have 

 been refused. The quantities which have 

 been delivered do not exceed five per 

 cent of the demand. 



"It may be possible actually to find 

 small quantities of Paradise, because 

 they are propagated from mother plants, 

 and the growers were not sufficiently 

 sure of their rooting at the beginning 

 of the season. This is the reason why 

 they did not at that time make engage- 

 ments for their whole lot. Hence the 

 reason that small lots are still being sup- 

 plied now. 



"Eose stocks have been considerably 

 short, principally Eosa canina and laxa; 

 not ten per cent of the demand has been 

 supplied. If some small lots are still on 

 offer it is for the reason indicated for 

 the English Paradise; also multiflora 



polyantha seedlings, -which were a littl/ 

 more abundant than anticipated, bur 

 they will be planted in Prance, where it 

 has been recognized to be the best 

 stock for dwarf polyanthas, climbing 

 Wichuraianas, also for working the H. 

 T. 's, H. P.'s, teas, etc., for forcing and 

 for pot work. Its root system is good, anil 

 when planted or potted it breaks 

 rapidly. In the United States they em- 

 ploy it to replace Manetti in many cases. 



"The young stocks of shrubs, seed- 

 lings, grafts and rooted cuttings sell 

 quickly. Many sorts are missing, owing 

 to the lack of propagation during the 

 war. They will continue to be scarce 

 for several years. Many varieties have 

 disappeared, entirely. 



"Young forest trees have been in 

 great demand. All the principal sorts 

 are exhausted. 



"Fruit trees have been in great de-
