The Florists^ Review 



September 23, 1920 



The Washington Heights Nurseries, of 

 Knox countj', Tennessee, have been in- 

 corporated, with a capitalization of $20,- 

 000. The incorporators are W. L. 

 Mitchell, Loe McLain and B. L. John- 

 son. 



W. H. Ball, of the Toppenish Nursery 

 Co., at Toppenish, Wash., is authority 

 for the statement that last winter's 

 freeze damaged the Yakima valley peach 

 orchards to such an extent that only home 

 consumption can be filled. He says can- 

 nery officials are urging the growers to 

 replant with Tuscan Cling and Phillips 

 Cling. 



ELECT OFFICERS AT TORONTO. 



At the concluding session, held Sep- 

 tember 10 in Toronto, Ont., of the con- 

 vention of the American Association 

 of Cemetery Superintendents, which was 

 briefly reported in The Eeview last 

 week, the following officers were elect- 

 ed, in accordance with nominations 

 made at a session September 8 in Ham- 

 ilton: President, F. H. Rutherford, of 

 Hamilton, who was vice-president last 

 year; vice-president, J. W. Kilner, and 

 secretary-treasurer, W, B. Jones, re- 

 elected. H. S. Adams, of Jamaica 

 Plain, Mass., as the retiring president, 

 automatically joined the executive com- 

 mittee. Thirty-two new members and 

 two deaths were reported by the secre- 

 tary; the association's total member- 

 ship now is 282 active members, one as- 

 sociate and four honorary. W. E. 

 Groves, of Hamilton, president of the 

 Canadian Florists' and Gardeners' As- 

 sociation, and W. H. Gray, of Dundas, 

 president of the Hamilton and District 

 Florists' and Gardeners' Association, ex- 

 tended a welcome on behalf of their 

 organizations. 



WORSE THAN WAR. 



Damage by Quarantine 37. 



The letter of Stark Bros. Nurseries 

 & Orchards Co., Louisiana, Mo., in re- 

 ply to a French nursery firm quoting 

 apparently exorbitant prices for its 

 stock, was given wide publicity recent- 

 ly in the trade press on this side of the 

 water and was later copied in the hor- 

 ticultural journals abroad. In the Hor- 

 ticultural Advertiser, a British publi- 

 cation, one signing himself, "A Dutch 

 Nurserymen," responds by relating the 

 damage done to European growers by 

 Quarantine 37. He writes as follows: 



Although it is not my habit to act as a writer, 



you will oblige by giving me the opportunity to 

 8ay something about the statement of Stark Bros, 

 re price of plum stocks. The -writer is in a i>08i- 

 tion to know a little about this, although not a 

 member of any nurserymen's syndicate. But he 

 knows America and the Americans from his fre- 

 quent visits to that country, and he knows from 

 experience what the Americans (not the nursery- 

 men, but their responsible government) have 

 brought upon the nurserymen of different Euro- 

 pean countries. If you do not know it, let me 

 tell you that the American Quarantine 37 has 

 ruined hundreds of honest workers in Belgium 

 (the damage done by this action is larger than 

 the damage done by the Germans), that Quaran- 

 tine 37 has done large damage to the French 

 nurserymen, and that Quarantine 37 has not only 

 ruined hundreds of hard-working nurserymen in 

 Holland, but it has even ruined the existence of 

 towns like Boskoop and Oudenbosch and others. 

 Aud I would not ask for space to make these 

 statements if I did not know that this measure 

 has also done large damage to the English trade, 

 although I am not in a position to know to what 

 extent. At the same time I must do honor to the 

 English trade policy, which allows nurserymen of 

 all nationalities to do an honest trade. 



To finish in the same style as Stark Bros., I 

 venture to say: Look what the American republic 

 is doing to the European nurserymen. 



C?an you blame the French syndicate for trying 

 to "soak" the Americans, especially on the stocks 

 they can not get elsewhere? Perhaps it would be 

 wise to have two prices, one for nurserymen who 

 are fighting these government actions and another 

 price for those supporting these measures. 



ference with removal of nursery stock 

 from certain land. 



The plaintiff company, which is en- 

 gaged in the business of growing and 

 selling fruit trees, conveyed to the de- 

 fendant a tract of land on which were 

 young apple and pear trees intended 

 for sale to the plaintiff's customers. By 

 special agreement the right to remove 

 the trees was reserved to the plaintiff, 

 provided the removal should be com- 

 pleted not later than the spring of 1919'. 

 Defendant, according to the allegations 

 of plaintiff's bill of complaint, refused! 

 permission for the removal of trees. 

 Sustaining plaintiff's right to maintain 

 a suit to enjoin interference with re- 

 moval, the Court of Appeals says: 



"That the reservation of the trees, 

 though made by parole, was valid and 

 effective, is definitely settled by the 

 case of Willard vs. Higdon, 12« Md. 447, 

 91 Atl. 577, Ann. Cas. 1916C, 339. The
