The Florists^ Review 



May 13, 192». 



Thk ileath April 2."5 of Charles Emil 

 Fraiikeiil)acli, of the firm of C. E. Frank- 

 eubach & Son, Soutliampton, L. I., N. Y., 

 is recorded in tliis week's obituary col- 

 uniii. 



Hardy loses seem to have suffered 

 more than any other plants from winter 

 killinff. Deciduous trees and shrubs have 

 come throujjh well and evergreens have 

 rarely eome tlirough in better shape. 



TowAKDS tin" end of May the Wing 

 Seed Co., at Mechanicsburg, O., is to 

 entertain the local branch of the Ameri- 

 can Iris Society for a day, when the com- 

 pany's fields of blooming iris will be in- 

 spected by the society's members from 

 Ohio and adjoining states. The exact 

 date has not yet been announced. 



That the price of nursery stock on the 

 Pacific coast is about to double again in 

 price, although now selling for 500 per 

 cent more than was the case four years 

 ^go, is the statement of August Guignard, 

 Oregon nursei-yman, with holdings at 

 Hood River. Recently he received a shij)- 

 ment of 10,000 seedlings in a liox weigh- 

 ing 200 pounds; this could have been 

 secured for $25 to $;50, lie says, before tin' 

 war, but this year it cost $536. 



ROSES KILLED BY COLD. 



Although shrubs were not greatly 

 damaged by the severe winter in the 

 northern part of Ohio, according to C. 

 Betscher, Dover, 0., roses suffered a good 

 deal. Hybrid teas and hybrid peren- 

 nials felt the effects of the cold most. 

 Killarneys and Ward were killed by 

 freezing. At Mr. Betscher's place a 

 number of Cynthia Forde, Killarney 

 Brilliant and some other varieties on 

 multifiora were killed. Some varieties 

 on Manetti were ruined also. Own-root 

 Gruss an Teplitz, Radiance, Ophelia and 

 Columbia came through in better shape, 

 although the smaller plants froze badly 

 at 5 degrees below zero. For eight to 

 ten weeks the ground in this vicinity 

 was frozen with a covering of ice. 

 Climbers and ramblers were only lightlv 

 damaged. 



QUARANTINE FOR MOTHS. 



Revision Proposal Draws Protests. 



As a result of the remonstrances and 

 criticisms which the trade sent in to 

 the office of the Federal Horticultural 

 Board upoji receiving the notice of a 

 hearing which was to be held May 7 to 

 consider the revision of the quarantine 



of New England because of the gypsy 

 and brown-tailed moths, C. L. Marlatt, 

 the chairman of the board, has sent out 

 a statement replying to these protesta- 

 tions. In it he says: 



"The issuance May 1 of the notice 

 of a public hearing called for May 7 

 for the purpose of revising the existing 

 quarantine in New England on account 

 of the gypsy and brown-tailed moths 

 has, through a misunderstanding of the 

 purport of this notice, occasioned some 

 alarm on the jiart of nurserymen, flo- 

 rists and others who jumped to the con- 



clusion that some new and drastic qnai- 

 antine was about to be placed, which 

 would seriously affect the sale for in- 

 terstate movement of ornamental and 

 other plants from the states covered in 

 the proposed quarantine. In explana- 

 tion, it may be stated that tkis quaran- 

 tine is a mere revision of the quarantine 

 which has been in force since 1912. It 

 is, therefore, not a new quarantine and 

 will impose no new restrictions on the 

 territory which has hitherto been cov- 

 ered by the quarantine. This territory 

 includes approximately the coastal half

Have you seen a garden bordered with 



Box-Barberry 



this spring? Every plant bright and 

 green— not a dead one. A strong con- 

 trast to the northern Buxus bordered 

 garden, now either dead or sadly wiuter 

 injured, brown and dejected looking. 



Mr. Siebreoht, the veteran plantsnan, 

 on seeing the garden the other day shown 

 in accompanying illusiration. exclaimed 

 with his characteristic enthusiasm: "Mag- 

 nificent! There is a fortune in it for the 

 nurserymen."
