The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 18, 1020 



O. S. Elindwobth, 3032 Main street, 

 Kansas City, Mo., is the successor to the 

 Blue Valley Nursery Co. 



The California Nursery Co., of Niles, 

 Cal., one of the largest nurseries in 

 the state, has opened a depot in Oakland, 

 .Cal., and is extending its business into 

 the metropolitan district of the bay sec- 

 tion. 



The official roster of the Des Moines 

 Nursery Co., Des Moines, la., is as fol- 

 lows: President and generid manager, 

 J. W. HUl; first vice-president, M. Mc- 

 Farlin; second vice-president, H. E. 

 Teachout; secretary. Earl D. Needham; 

 treasurer, D. L. HiU. 



"We are depending more every year 

 on other forms of publicity supplementary 

 to our catalogue, to increase sales among 

 the class of prospective buyers who want 

 stock but are not experienced enough to 

 select their stock personally," states 

 Ernest F. Coe, president of the Elm City 

 Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn. And 

 nurserymen everywhere are learning the 

 sales power of printers' ink. 



Approximately 2,000,000 common bar- 

 berry bushes were dug up and destroyed 

 during 1919 in connection with the com- 

 bined efforts of federal and state author- 

 ities to protect wheat against black stem 

 rust, which can not survive unless it is 

 able to spend one period in its life cycle 

 on the leaves of the common barberry. 

 For this work last year the federal gov- 

 ernment appropriated $150,000. The ter- 

 ritory in which the fight was carried on 

 comprises Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, 

 Iowa, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Mon- 

 tana, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Da- 

 kota, Wisconsin and Wyoming. 



CEBTIFTINO SALES. 



By State or National Association. 



The question, "Should the Illinois 

 State Nurserymen's Association certify 

 to sales made by its members?" really 

 includes two questions: First, should 

 any nurserymen's association certify 

 the sales by its members? Second, 

 should the state association be the body 

 which certifies to such sales? 



My answer to the first question would 

 be in the affirmative, because by such 

 certification we can most effectually

 Nurserymen's Association Certify the Sales Made 

 by Members?" delivered by Alvin Nelson, of 

 Chicago, at the convention of the Illinois State 

 Nurserymen's Association in Chicago. 



combat the harm that has been done to 

 the nursery business in general by the 

 bad practices of a few unscrupulous 

 men. These bad practices have thrown 

 discredit on our trade and unless the 

 nurserymen as a body clean up their 

 house the government will do it for 

 them. The public is certainly entitled 

 to protection from some source and it is 

 the duty of the government to furnish 

 that protection wherever necessary. 



Do not suppose that the nursery bnsi* 

 ness has been singled out as specially 

 in need of government control. The 

 government has safeguarded the x>ublie 

 from possible abuses in many other 

 businesses. Banks are controlled for the 

 safety of the depositors. Investment 

 companies are under government super- 

 vision. Many professions and lines of 

 business are required to take out licenses 

 after passing rigid examinations. 



Among such are doctors, dentists, law- 

 yers, insurance companies, architects, 

 engineers and plumbers. Indnstflo^ 

 such as the packers, are rigidly inspected 

 and then licensed for the benefit of the 

 public. 



Protection for the PnrcliaBer. 



Now the question arises as to what 

 protection the purchaser is entitled to 

 against possible abuses in the nursery 

 business. 



1. — ^He is entitled to the assuranc« 

 that he is getting the variety of plant 

 which he orders. 



2. — ^He is entitled to be safeguarded 

 against receiving plants that are dis- 

 eased or infested with insftt pests. 



3. — He is entitled to receive plants 

 which are furnished with sufficient roets 

 and are handled with sufficient care to 

 make them grow.
