The Florists' Review 



January 19. 1922 



Harrison Co., has returned from an ex- 

 tensive eastern trip, havinfr visited 

 many of tlie nurseries in that section. 

 Mr. Dayton attended the convention of 

 the Ornamental Growers' Association at 

 New York city and his address, "Pros- 

 pects of the Nursery Business in the 

 Future," was one of the briglit lights 

 of the convention. 



Nurserymen in general arc looking 

 forward to an exceptionally heavy de- 

 mand for all nursery stock next spring. 

 Orders arc coming in freely. 



The office force of Kallay Bros, is 

 Ijusy mailing out the retail spring cata- 

 logue, 35,000 in all. This concern is also 

 making a specialty of growing choice 

 evergreens for the wholesale trade and 

 has over 100,000 plants of young stock 

 ready to plant out next spring. 



The Wayside Gardens Co., Mentor, O., 

 is building a new greenhouse and pack- 

 ing house. 



The Donewell Nurseries have pur- 

 chased a new 2-ton White truck. 



H. L. McClellan, seedsman of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., is looking for- 

 ward to heavy demands for seed the 

 coming season. 



James F. Eychlik, of Rychlik's floral 

 gardens, has the honor of being one of 

 the finest bass viol players in Cleveland, 

 lie is a member of the Stillman theater 

 orchestra. 



The question is often asked, docs nurs- 

 ery advertising pay? The firm which 

 can answer this question correctly is 

 the one which advertises. Advertising 

 by nurserymen pays big profits not only 

 for the time being, but for years to 

 come. T. J. M. 



WHAT OUR PARKS NEED. 



Kelsey in Interview. 



A recent interview with Frederick W. 

 Kelsey, of the F. W. Kelsey Nursery Co., 

 of New York city, which was published 

 in several leading New York and Brook- 

 lyn papers, contained matter of value 

 not only to the average citizen, but to 

 the skilled nurseryman also, because the 

 basis of the subject discussed, "The 

 Care of Public Parks," has its founda- 

 tion in the profession of the man who 

 understands trees, the nurserj'man. 



Who is F. W. Kelsey? Is he qualified 

 to discuss the subject? These questions 

 arise and a spontaneous affirmation 

 comes from those who know him. For 

 the "Father of the p]ssex County 

 Parks," as INfr. Kelsey is known, pre- 

 pared the original shade tree commis- 

 sion law of New Jersey, in ]80.'^, which, 

 in its main features, has since tliat time 

 been adopted in a number of states. Mr. 

 Kelsey was one of the original members 

 of the American Forestry Association, 

 the American Civic Association and 

 similar organizations. His book, "The 

 First County Park System," has been 

 widely read l)y tlioso interested in public 

 jtarks. 



Appropriations Well Invested. 



Mr. Kelsey pointed out in the inter- 

 view that trees and shrubbery, with the 

 exception of favorably located real 

 estate, are about the only kind of prop- 

 erty that continually increases in value, 

 instead of deteriorating from the cost, 

 as do all artificial constructions. This 

 places the financial status of all appro- 

 priations for the purpose in a distinct 

 class and wholly different from other 

 municipal expenditures. After explain- 

 ing the importance of proper soil condi-
