 trial grounds at Bell, Md., appears on 

 page 25 of this issue. 



News of the premium list of the exhibi-

The Poughkeepsie Nursery Co., 

 Poughkeepsie, N. Y., has purchased the 

 Sloan & Richardson property, on the 

 south road. This property is to be stocked 

 •with trees and shrubbery. The sales 

 ofBice of the company will be maintained 

 in its present location, on College ave- 

 nue, until September. The grounds on 

 College avenue have been purchased by 

 Albert Tersteeg, who will take posses- 

 sion soon. Mr. Tersteeg 's business will 

 be known as the Tersteeg Nurseries. 



The G. &. G. Nursery, recently estab- 

 lished in South Pasadena, Cal., is a part- 

 nership formed by Mrs. Cecilia Gilbert, 

 formerly at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., and 

 George C. Groenewegen, from Amster- 

 dam, Holland. They are engaged in nurs- 

 ery and landscape work. Mrs. Gilbert 

 has had considerable experience as a 

 grower and designer, and Mr. Groene- 

 wegen has spent many years as a land- 

 scape architect and has had the super- 

 vision of several large private estates. 



Exchange of opinion seems to develop 

 that the A. A. N. wanted a slogan for 

 advertising purposes, but got instead a 

 trade-mark. Probably no one set out to 

 arrive where the association now is. An 

 advertising campaign, like an unbroken 

 horse, sometimes carries the rider instead 

 of being driven. But, when under con- 

 trol and properly guided, both horse and 

 advertising will get one to the desired 

 destination. A return to the first princi- 

 ples of what the members really sought or 

 seek will enable everyone to get together 

 on a new program at the Chicago meeting. 



The fourth annual convention of the 

 Southwestern Association of Nursery- 

 men will take place Tuesday and Wednes- 

 day, September 27 and 28, at Dallas, Tex. 

 Nursery conditions in the southwest have 

 been generally good and an increased 

 membership and larger attendance are 

 anticipated. Much business of importance 

 is to come before the meeting. Dallas 

 is a city of royal welcome. The officers of 

 the association are: President, J. M. 

 Ramsey, Austin, Tex.; vice-president, N. 

 M. Shivc, Cabot, Ark.; secretary-treas- 

 urer, George F. Verhalen, Scott svilloi, 

 Tex. The executive committee is com- 

 posed of Jim Parker, Tecumseh, Okla.; 

 E. A. Knox, San Antonio, Tex., and the 

 officers. 



NOTED HOLLANDER COMING 



A fresh attempt is to be made to ob- 

 tain access to the United States for 

 Holland's nursery stock and for a revi- 

 sion of the regulations of the Federal 

 Horticultural Board for that purpose. 



Dr. Ritzema Bos, the chief of the 

 phytopathological service at Wagenin- 



gen, Holland, on reaching his seven- 

 tieth birthday, the age for the learned 

 university men to retire whatever their 

 energy or ability may be, was compelled 

 to resign from his post, yet at his great 

 age he intends to cross the Atlantic by 

 the steamship Ryndam, leaving June 

 14, for the purpose of promoting the in- 

 terests of Holland nurserymen by per- 

 sonal interviews with the authorities 

 at Washington. 



He is no stranger to this country, as 

 once before, in 1898, he crossed by order 

 of his government in a reverse case, to 

 prevent the importation into Holland 

 of certain plants conveying the destruc- 

 tive San Jose scale from America. 



Holland exporters are advising their 

 friends in the United States of the pro- 

 fessor's plans, in the hope that he will 

 find a committee to meet and support 

 liini. 



HOLLAND NURSERY TRADE. 



The nursery and plant trade in the 

 Netherlands shows some of the depres- 

 sion to be noted in other lines, reports 

 the consul general at Rotterdam, but 

 on the whole the condition is consid- 

 ered satisfactory. Shipments to vari- 

 ous countries so far this season have 

 been lighter than usual, but trade pros- 

 pects for the coming season are more 

 promising. Exports to the United 

 States have been small compared with 

 last year, although in value the trade 

 in 1920 was not up to the standard of

Total $1,861,374 $1,319,472 



Most of the decreased shipments of 

 trees and shrubs, which include roses 

 and similar plants, were due to the col- 

 lapse in the trade with Germany, which 

 fell from $249,396 in 1919 to $23,212 

 in 1920, but the exports to the United 

 States also fell from $173,178 in 1919 

 to $47,664 in 1920. Shipments to almost 

 all countries other than Great Britain 

 fell off materially, but exports to Great 

 Britain increased from $158,772 to 

 $473,785. There was also a general de- 

 crease in shipments of miscellaneous 

 plants to all countries, but the decrease 

 in shipments to the United States from 

 $278,825 in 1919 to $35,075 accounted 

 for most of the loss. Nearly all fruit 

 trees, plants in pots, and the like went 

 to Great Britain and Belgium.
