The Florists^ Review 



Januauk 27, 1921 



This week many visitors from outside 

 Massachusetts were in Boston attending 

 the annual convention of the New En- 

 gland Nurserymen's Association at the 

 New American House, January 25 and 

 26. ■ 



January 15, 1913, Oliver K. Sanders, 

 of the Sanders Nursery Co., St. Louis, 

 Mo., was married to Miss Ethel Chad- 

 sey. They celebrated their eighth an- 

 niversary on that day at their home, 

 623 Clara avenue. 



The annual meeting and banquet of the 

 New York State Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion will be held at the Powers hotel, 

 Rochester, Thursday, February 17, 1921. 

 The meeting will be addressed by nursery- 

 men of national prominence. 



Canton, S. D., has a new nursery, to 

 be known as the Faribault & Sioux Val- 

 ley Nursery Co. The members of the 

 company are Geno Laurenson, S. G. Gin- 

 ney and S. F. McClane. The company 

 owns about twenty acres of land' near 

 Canton and about 135 acres at Faribault, 

 Minn. 



J. H. Stahl, of the Western Washing- 

 ton Experiment Station, has returned 

 to Puyallup, Wash., from a trip through 

 Washington and Oregon, and he reports 

 a census of growers and nurserymen 

 shows a big demand for berry canes to 

 be set out in sections where the frosts 

 last year killed the apple trees. There 

 is also a growing interest in cherries to 

 be noted. 



The New York Mail published an in- 

 terview with G. H. Schroeder, head of the 

 Narrows Nursery Co., January 15. Mr. 

 Schroeder advised the public to place or- 

 ders for nursery stock and landscape 

 work without delay, as present delay 

 meant greater delay when the spring and 

 summer rush was at hand. The article 

 was excellent publicity for this new com- 

 pany, which was formed only about 

 eighteen months ago. 



PROPAGATING HARDY GRAPES. 



Would you please describe the best 

 method for propagating grapes? Is it 

 always necessary that the cuttings cal- 

 lous over on the cut end or would 

 grape cuttings cut in early spring be 

 all right? Grape culture is practically 

 new to me and I shall appreciate a few 

 hints. B. E. H.— la. 



The best and surest plan and the one 

 to be recommended to you is to select 

 propagating wood within the next few- 

 weeks, when you are pruning your grape 

 vines. Cut the wood in lengths contain- 

 ing two to three buds, preferably three. 

 Tie these prunings or cuttings in 

 bunches and bury them half or two- 

 thirds of their length in damp soil or 

 sand in a cool cellar. In spring, when 

 the ground is free from frost and plant- 

 ing time has arrived, you will find that 

 these cuttings have calloused ever and 

 they can be planted nine inches apart in 

 nursery rows in earth that has been 

 deeply plowed, well pulverized and 

 thoroughly drained. Cuttings should be 

 planted two-thirds of their depth. Tin- 



top eye only should appear above ground 

 and the cuttings should be well firmed. 

 Keep the soil well cultivated all sum- 

 mer and put a support to all shoots need- 

 ing it, if you can spare the time to do so. 

 The strongest plants can be planted in 

 their permanent fruiting quarters the 

 following spring, but the bulk of them 

 would better be left for another year. I 

 would not advise you to take cuttings in 

 spring. They would, possibly, bleed; 

 would not be calloused before planting, 

 and but a small proportion would fruit 

 compared with cuttings carried over 

 winter as has been suggested. C. W.
