The Florists^ Review 



Apbil 27. 1922 



The late season has haiidicapiied nurs- 

 I'lymen in packing and shipping orders. 

 Snow has fallen in some localities since 

 Kaater, causing further delay. 



An offer in the classified columns of 

 the items on your wholesale list on which 

 you are "long" would add to your prof- 

 its and eut down the brush pile. 



As agricultural conditions improve and 

 tlie farmer's buying power shows signs 

 of returning, nurserymen in the west and 

 soutli anticipate a marked sliortage of 

 stock within another year. 



A i.ARGE greenhouse is being con 

 strutted on the estate of Irwin A. Yar 

 nell, at Lake Wales, Fla. This place con- 

 sists of approximately 4,000 acres of 

 land, which is a colonization project. 

 Tliere are about .seventy acres of nursery 

 stock on the grounds. 



KxPLANATiox of tile licavy demand for 

 perennials is given by N. I. W. Kriek, of 

 the Weller Nurseries Co., Holland, Mich., 

 who declares last summer "took the life 

 out of many hardy plants and the winter, 

 too, did its share." This firm has had 

 heavy orders, the total running far ahead 

 of last year. 



The nursery trade has had an excel- 

 lent April. Although the ground has 

 been wet over large sections of the coun- 

 try, making planting slow, the spring has 

 been so lato it has made an unusually 

 long planting season. Over the eastern 

 half of the United States the season is 

 about two weeks late. 



Arbor day was commemorated April 

 22 in the state of Rhode Island, and in 

 Providence and adjoining neighborhoods 

 more than 31,000 shrubs and plants were 

 planted. These were furnished by Daniel 

 A. Clarke, of the Red Oak Nurseries, 

 Fiskeville, R. I., who personally attended 

 to the distribution and gave instructions 

 as to the planting. 



As spring advances, the amount of 

 scorching and winter-killing is found to be 

 tremendous among evergreens in the vicin- 

 ity of Boston, Mass. One prominent 

 nurseryman estimates his loss at $20,000, 

 and all nurseries and private owners are 

 hard hit. Rhododendrons, kalmias, leuco- 

 thoes, andromedas, Evonymus radicans, 

 thujas, retinisporas, junipers and hem- 

 locks are among the worst sufferers. The 

 winter was not severe, but the ground 

 froze up while the roots had insuflScient 

 moisture. Then the terrible ice storm 

 came in late November, and there was a 

 somewhat scant snow protection, but much 

 ice-covered ground for months. This, 

 with generally clear skies and cold, cut- 

 ting winds, made the winter an unusually 

 trying one. 



WINTER DAMAGE TO THUJAS. 



It has been reported from various 

 sources all over the country that 

 thujas, or arbor-vit»s, have suffered 

 seriously the last winter. This seems 

 to have been caused by the warm, sunny 

 <lays, which started the sap in the 

 br.'uK-hcs, followed by freezing tempera- 

 ture at night. The outer branches have 

 killed out, and the foliage has turned 



l)rown in many cases. A close examina- 

 tion of these trees shows that while 

 some of them are dry and brown, they 

 will no doubt grow from the live buds 

 below the line of winter injury and 

 satisfactorilj' recover after the present 

 growing season. There is not so much 

 f.ause for alarm as might be expected 

 from a casual observation of this dam- 

 age. 



Thujas were damaged the worst of all 

 evergreens, although some damage was 

 noted on some other varieties also. 



PLANTING CHRISTMAS TREES. 



The Illinois State Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation is ever on the alert to take 

 advantage of all opportunities offered 



it to turn a disadvantage into an ad- 

 vantage. Because the state of Illi- 

 nois has prohibited the shipment of 

 Christmas trees from the bug-infested 

 sections of the east, and because the 

 forests of Michigan and Wisconsin 

 must not be destroyed, the association 

 is advocating the planting of these 

 trees in connection with the "Plan to 

 Plant Another Tree" campaig», now be- 

 ing carried on by the Illinois nursery- 

 men. 



Among some of the reaso»8 given by 

 members of the Illinois Nurserymen's 

 Association for the increased interest 

 in the planting of Christmas trees are 

 that these trees are profitable to grow, 

 they bring moisture, they are easy to 

 g'ow and they will create an interest in
