The Florists' Review 



DpcaifBBB 4, 1910. 



The nursery trade never had a better 

 fall business, but the quantity of stock 

 stored for spring is not so large as would 

 be liked. 



British nurserymen are required to 

 pay a certain standard of wages accord- 

 ing to the law by which they are grouped 

 with agricultural industries. 



"The Orchards of France" will be 

 the subject of an address by Lloyd C. 

 Stark, of Louisiana, Mo., at the Tennes- 

 see State Horticultural Society's meeting 

 at Nashville December 9. 



At a recent joint meeting of the agri- 

 cultural and forest preservation commit- 

 tees of the Chamber of Commerce of Law- 

 ton, Okla., it was decided to plant 40,000 

 seedlings in the 2%-acre plot of land 

 given by the city for a nursery in North 

 Addition. 



It would seem that conditions in the 

 trade justify a further advance in nearly 

 all lines of nursery stock. Prices are not 

 up to the level of other commodities, but 

 production has been so reduced by labor 

 shortage that first-class stock should be 

 salable at a fair profit.

 Association will hold its annual conven-

TAOKLINa PROBLEMS ON COAST. 



Mrs. Buth Day, president of the Pa- 

 cific Coast Association of Nurserymen, 

 who appears under the heading ♦ * Who 's 

 Who in the Trade and Why" on an- 

 other page this week, says regarding 

 the work of the Pacific Coast Associa- 

 tion: 



"We hope to accomplish big things 

 this coming year. Our biggest problem 

 has been and still is to obtain coopera- 

 tion among the nurserymen. They are 

 almost as hard to unite as the farmers, 

 but we have made great strides in the 

 last few years and feel much encour- 

 aged. 



"The biggest current problem we 

 have to tackle is publicity. This has 

 been sadly neglected by the nursery 

 trade in the past, and we have to take 

 our hats off to the florists for realizing 

 the value of it in advance of us, or 

 rather, putting their realization into 

 practice. The campaigri they have so 

 successfully carried on the last two yean 

 has been an eye-opener to the nursery- 

 men. 



"Our work in this line will be founded 

 upon education, for lack of it regarding 

 trees and plants is the cause of much 

 disaster to the average planter. We 

 shall aim to teach the public the best 

 methods of planting and caring for 

 nursery stock after purchased, as well 

 as the wise selection of varieties and 

 location; how to beautify the home 

 grounds with a moderate expenditure
