The Florists' Review 



AoODflV S. 19M 



NuBSEBT stock will cost Still more 

 when the new freight rates add approxi- 

 matelj one-third to the cost of shipping 

 it 



Now that help is somewhat easier to 

 get, more acreage will be devoted to 

 growing nursery stock. But the effect 

 will not be felt for two or three seasons. 



Pbobablt not so many orders will be 

 given for planting on estates and home 

 grounds this autumn. But there will be 

 enough to use all the ornamental stock 

 available. 



EzPBESSiONS of opinion, as well as 

 items of news, are welcomed from nurs- 

 erymen in this department. Interchange 

 of ideas at present is of high value to 

 the trade. 



Geoboe W. Winfbey, of Rudy, Ark., 

 has been appointed deputy state plant 

 board inspector and entered upon his 

 duties August 1; he will have active 

 charge of nursery inspection in the state. 



Abneb Hoopes, one of the founders 

 and the senior member of Hoopes, Bro. 

 ft Thomas Co., West Chester, Pa., died 

 at his home July 24 at the age of 84 

 years. More extended notice appears in 

 this week's obituary column. 



New Yobk state nurserymen may find 

 the new barge canal a means of cutting 

 Iransportation costs on their stock. A 

 barge loaded with 500 tons of nursery 

 stock on its initial trip reached New 

 York last week consigned to Maltus & 

 Ware. 



' Twenty-five acres of land in Paris, 

 Ky., have been sold by E. F. Bjiegel to 

 B. Meinertz and Warner Harper, pro- 

 prietors of the Andorra Nurseries, Chest- 

 nut Hill, Philadelphia. The land is now 

 being used as a vegetable and truck gar- 

 den. This fall its new owners will be- 

 gin the establishment on it of the Bour- 

 bon Nurseries. They also secured sev- 

 eral acres adjoining the farm from 

 Catesby Spears and one acre from Mr. 

 Yates. 



HOOD KIVEE PRICES UP. 



Frank A. Massee, just returned to 

 Hood River, Ore., from an automobile 

 tour to Coeur d'Alene, Ida., following 

 the recent convention of nurserymen at 

 Spokane, predicts higher prices for 

 nursery stock the coming planting sea- 

 son. Mr. Massee says that a price of 

 $60 per hundred, in minimum of 500 lot 

 deliveries, has been established as a 

 wholesale price. This means that trees 

 will retail for about 75 cents each. 



"The apple tree supply," says Mr. 

 Massee, "will just about equal the de- 

 mand. As for pears, they will be higher. 

 I do not believe that nurserymen have 

 eighty per cent of the pear stock that 

 wUl be needed for new plantings." 



TBOUBLE WITH HABDY PHLOX. 



Please tell me what to do to prevent 

 rust on phlox and also how to get rid of 

 a small yellow insect, which seems to 

 spin a web over the ends of the 

 branches. E. 8. P. — ^Pa. 



I think the rust you speak of is more 

 probably red spider, brought on by a 

 spell of hot, dry weather. This is a diffi- 

 cult pest to fight outdoors. More mois- 

 ture at the roots of the plants and 

 pressii^re of cold water through a fine 

 hose nozzle, well directed, are the best 

 remedies. Plants which are moist at the 

 roots are rarely attacked. C. W.
