The Florists^ Review 



Afbil 20. 1922 



Though prices are fifteen per cent 

 higher than last year, J. A. Bauer, the 

 strawberry plant specialist of Judsonia, 

 Ark., reports havitig shipped over 14,- 

 000,000 plants since October 10 and ex- 

 pects to reach tlie 15,000,000 mark. 



At this time of year many florists are 

 buying nursery stock for planting on their 

 customers' home grounds. If you have 

 suitable stock to offer, this is the time to 

 make it known, as other nurserymen are 

 doing, tlirough the display and classified- 

 columns of Tlie Review. 



Report ai)pe;ns in the Pacific coast de- 

 Itartment of this issue of the j)urcliase by 

 the Cottage Gardens Co., Queens, N. Y., 

 of all the nursery stock and other personal 

 property of the Cottage Gardens Nurs- 

 eries, at Eureka, Cal., from the receiver of 

 the latter firm. This announcement also 

 includes the account of the arrangements 

 made by Mr. Ward, president of the 

 Queens concern, with W. B. Clarke, of 

 San Jos6, whereby the latter is to have 

 the exclusive sale of the output of the 

 western branch of this firm for the whole 

 of the United States and Canada. 



The tree planting exercises held in the 

 schools of Cook county, April 7, as part 

 of the "Plan to Plant Another Tree" 

 campaign sponsored by J. A. Young, secre- 

 tary of the Illinois Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion, were a complete success. There 

 were 220 American elm trees planted on 

 220 school grounds throughout the coun- 

 ty on that day, according to Edward 

 J. Tobin, superintendent of schools of 

 Cook county, and an average of 150 peo- 

 ple attended the exercises at each school, 

 making the total number of people attend- 

 ing the exercises equal approximately 33,- 

 000. A tree count of Cook county will 

 be taken during the month of May. 



NURSERY TRADE IN SOUTH. 



Spring trade in the southern states 

 seems to have averaged about normal, 

 although around the first of the year the 

 outlook was not bright — or the nursery- 

 men were pessimists. 



Early in February Paul C. Lindley, 

 of Pomona, N. C. said: "Our spring 

 business is going to be just what we 

 make it. If everyone stays on his 

 toes, we should line up a good volume." 

 There were some others who felt the 

 same way, and a letter from another 

 firm says: "The season was extremely 

 short, but extremely busy," indicating 

 that at least a comfortable volume of 

 business came in. 



Weather conditions in Virginia and 

 the Carolinas were against trade; more 

 snow than usual, cold winds, and dis- 

 agreeable things in general. In spite 

 of these handicaps, surplus stocks seem 

 to have been cleaned up in good shape 

 and a season that opened up "rotten" 

 has turned out fairly well. E. F. R. 



THE HARRISON NURSERIES. 



One of the largest fruit tree nurs- 

 eries in the world and the largest fruit 

 orchard in the United States can be 

 found in the Harrison Nurseries, at 



Berlin, Md. With his father and 

 brother, George A. Harrison, Senator 

 Orlando Harrison started the nursery 

 and orchard business thirty-five years 

 ago on a small scale. Less than one 

 acre was devoted to the nursery and 

 the orchard covered but a few more 

 acres. The entire farm embraced but 

 175 acres. Now Senator Harrison, the 

 active head, and his brother operate 

 more than 5,000 acres in nurseries and 

 orchards. 



To give an idea of the colossal scale 

 upon which the Harrison Nurseries are 

 conducted, it may be stated that more 

 than 10,000,000 trees are grown each 

 year. This makes the company the 

 largest grower of fruit trees in the 

 world. Of the orchard business, expla- 

 nation of it is contained in the state- 

 ment that more than 100,000 bearing 

 trees are contained on the properties 

 near Berlin and that the Harrison Nurs- 

 eries operate orchards in Delaware, Vir- 

 ginia, West Virginia and western 

 Maryland. 



Senator Harrison is specializing in 

 the Norway maple for shade purposes, 

 having found that this tree is most de- 



sirable in the eastern states. He made 

 a trip to Holland eight years ago for 

 the selected trees and since that time 

 has imported more than 100,000 trees 

 for sale throughout the United States. 

 Senator Harrison also made a trip to 

 France for the selection of apple seed- 

 lings and millions of these have been 

 imported, the nurseries now having or- 

 ders for more than 4,000,000 in France 

 and the United States. 



Senator Harrison has found the 

 planting of vegetables in connection 

 with his orchard highly profitable and ia 

 one of the largest vegetable growers 

 in that section of the state. As a means 

 of interesting his sons in the nursery 

 business, Senator Harrison has provided 

 each of them with a farm for their 

 individual operations. 



A portrait and some personal notes 

 regarding Senator Harrison appear un- 

 der the heading, "Who's Who in the 

 Trade and Why," on a forward page 

 of this issue.
