The Florists^ Review 



Dbcembeb 1, 1921 



Howard Evarts Weed, of Beaverton, 

 Ore., the president of the Pacific Coast 

 Association of Nurserymen, appears 

 under the heading "Who's Who in the 

 Trade and Why, ' ' on page 39 of this is- 

 sue. 



Twenty cases of dormant shrubs and 

 trees, consigned to C. B. Bichards & Co., 

 were on board the steamer Nieuw Amster- 

 dam, which arrived at New York from 

 Rotterdam November 23. On board were 

 also thirty-two cases of nursery stock con- 

 signed to F. B. Vandegrift & Co. 



Simon J. Hider, Hillsboro, O., has been 

 working hard for several years to estab- 

 lish a nursery as a side line to his cut 

 flower business. He reports this end of 

 the business as having broken all previous 

 records for high marks and finds it a 

 good addition for increasing profits, well 

 worthy of a trial. 



When the Missouri State Horticul- 

 tural Society met at Hannibal, Mo., De- 

 cember 1 to 3, there were many who gave 

 worthwhile talks. As one of these, Paul 

 C. Stark, of Louisiana, Mo., spoke Fri- 

 day, December 2, on "A Combination of 

 Young Apple Orchards, Hogs and For- 

 age." The afternoon of tlie same day 

 Lloyd C. Stark spoke on ' ' Nineteen-Twcn- 

 ty Census Figures on Fruit Trees and 

 What They Mean to Orehardists." On 

 the last day of the meeting all those at- 

 tending were invited by Stark Bros. Nurs- 

 eries & Orchards Co. to go as the firm's 

 guests and see the large test orchards at 

 Louisiana, Mo. 



BEAUTY FOR SCHOOL GROUNDS. 



Leading in the wave of improvement 

 for school grounds, the J. Van Lindley 

 Nursery Co., of Pomona, N. C, has 

 offered to beautify any school grounds 

 for $25, including plan and $50 worth of 

 shrubs. If a photograph of any school- 

 yard and building is sent to the com- 

 pany, according to the company's an- 

 nouncement in a local newspaper, a 

 practical plan for ornamenting the place 

 will be prepared. If any of the firm's 

 landscape men should be in the vicinity, 

 a survey and sketch will be made free 

 of charge. In case a school wants a 

 personal inspection, the company will 

 send a man at its own expense. 



The company hit upon this scheme as 

 a means of clearing a large stock of 

 shrubs which must be moved to make 

 room for new cultivations. The shrubs 

 to be moved include flowering plants 

 and shrubs of many varieties, besides 

 ornamental grasses. But most valuable 

 of all is the advertising that this plan 

 is gaining for the company. The Ob- 

 server, of Charlotte, N. C, devoted an 

 entire editorial to the company's idea 

 and commended it highly. 



TRADE-MARK SUIT SETTLED. 



The suit for infringement of trade- 

 mark and unfair competition brought by 

 Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards Co., 

 Louisiana, Mo., against the William P. 

 Stark Nurseries, Neosho, Mo., has been 

 finally settled in favor of Stark Bros., 

 after a long drawn-out fight of six years. 



through all the United States courts, in- 

 cluding the United States Supreme 

 court. 



This suit originated in the United 

 States District courts, where Stark 

 Bros, were awarded damages and also an 

 accounting for certain profits of the 

 Wm. P. Stark Nurseries to cover a pre- 

 scribed period of the infringement. In 

 addition to the above, the federal court 

 issued an injunction prohibiting the 

 Wm. P. Stark Nurseries from further 

 infringing on the rights of Stark Bros. 

 Later the case was appealed to the 

 United States Court of Appeals and 



then to the United States Supreme 

 court, where the final decision was 

 reached, which upheld the United States 

 Court of Appeals in the injunction, dam- 

 ages and profits awarded to Stark Bros, 

 and the case was referred back to the 

 United States District court to have an 

 accounting made so as to determine the 

 amount of profits and damages to be 

 paid Stark Bros. 



The case was in this position when 

 Stark Bros., after a conference with the 

 Neosho Nursery Co. (successors to the 

 Wm. P. Stark Nurseries), agreed to ac- 

 cept $7,500 in place of the damages and
