The Florists^ Review 



August 18, 1021 



R. F. Goodman, of West Palm Beach, 

 Fla., the county engineer of Palm Beach 

 county, is fast developing an up-to-date 

 nursery under the name of the Lake Os- 

 born Gardens. 



The official roster of the Harrison Nurs- 

 ery Co., York, Neb., is: President, W. A. 

 Harrison; vice-president, H. S. Harrison; 

 secretary-treasurer, E. H. Smith; field 

 manager, E. E. Mason. 

 ' Barnum said the public likes to be 

 humbugged, but Barnum ran a circus, 

 which has a larger field from which to 

 draw its customers than the nurseryman 

 who sends out stock untrue to name. 



Observance of trade standards must be 

 enforced by nurserymen's consciences or 

 it will be enforced by la^. How neces- 

 sary to continued existence, not to say 

 success, is fair dealing in this trade is 

 so plain that one is surprised the number 

 who fail to see it. 



OHIO NURSERYMEN MEET. 



The annual meeting of the Ohio State 

 Nurserymen 's , Association was held at 

 Painesville, O., Friday, August 12, at 

 the Parmly hotel, and was largely at- 

 tended. About forty out-of-town dele- 

 gates and about thirty-five from Paines- 

 ville and vicinity were on hand when 

 President Ernst, of Clyde, called the 

 meeting to order, at 10 o'clock. 



After reading the minutes of the last 

 meeting, many items of interest were 

 discussed. Each member was asked to 

 give his views on all matters brought 

 before the meeting. The matter of 

 prices was adjusted to the satisfaction 

 of all present. There will be little 

 change in prices for the coming season, 

 with the exception of fruit trees, which 

 will be about fifteen per cent cheaper 

 than last season. Everything else will 

 remain practically the same. 



At 1 o'clock the members, together 

 with their families, enjoyed a bounti- 

 ful repast in the banquet room, which 

 was artistically decorated for the oc- 

 casion. At 2:30 p. m. automobiles were 

 on hand and all the members went for a 

 joy ride, visiting the leading nurseries 

 and other places of interest. 



It was a gala day for the nurserymen 

 of Painesville and a reunion of good 

 fellowship and ■ brotherly love.

APPLE BLISTER CANKER. 



Investigations conducted by the New 

 York Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 at Geneva, show that in western New 

 York an outbreak of blister canker in 

 the apple orchards is always possible, 

 especially following a protracted period 

 of dry weather in the spring. The or- 

 ganism causing the disease is nearly al- 

 ways present in the orchard or in 

 nearby woodlots, and since apple trees 

 are most susceptible to attack in the 

 spring, when new growth starts, any 

 condition of the soil or weather which 

 retards growth favors the development 

 of blister canker. Early cultivation to 

 preserve soil moisture is, therefore, es- 

 pecially desirable. 



The disease gains entrance into the 

 wood through some injury to the tree, 

 usually a pruning wound; hence it is 

 important that all such wounds be cov- 

 ered in some way. For this purpose a 

 coating of common shellac followed by 

 coal tar gave the best protection and 

 withstood wcatlioring better than any 

 of the other wood dressings which were 

 tried. 



The immediate removal of all blister- 

 cankered branches is probably the best 

 control measure, as such practice re- 

 tards the spread of the disease in the

orchard. It should be remembered, 

 however, that in removing a diseased 

 branch the cut should be made as far 

 away from the canker as possible, be- 

 cause the disease extends in all direc 

 tions through the wood and unless^all 

 diseased wood is removed a new canker 

 will form.
