The Florists* Review 



MAttCH 2. 192;i 



The Milburn Nurseries is the trade 

 name wliich has been filed for the nursery 

 business conducted on Main street, Mil- 

 l)urn, N. J., by Edward D. Pannell. 



Washikotox nurseiyuien estimate that 

 there will be 1,000 acres of new orchard 

 land set out in the Oroville section this 

 year, tlie greater majority going into 

 commercial varieties of apples and the 

 remainder to nuts and soft fruits. 



The nursery firm at Kankakee, 111., 

 known as the Lowry Nursery & Land- 

 scape Co. has opened an office at 147 

 North Delaware street, Indianapolis, 

 Ind. Mr. Lowry of this firm has been a 

 member of the Indianapolis park board 

 for many years. 



Sevekal acres of land have been ax'- 

 quired by John Molnai and two other 

 men of Painesville, O., and these men 

 will enter the nursery business. Outdoor 

 roses will be their specialty. Mr. Molnai 

 has been in the employ of the Storrs & 

 Harrison Co. for many years. 



Gkape growers in the Niagara district 

 in Canada are greatly increasing their 

 acreages, setting out more vines than 

 were planted during the war. Nursery- 

 men are being swamped with orders for 

 fruit trees of all sorts. Sour cherry trees 

 are short, but other fruits are plentiful. 



Business in the Miami valley looks 

 liighly encouraging, report nurserymen 

 there. The retail inquiries are heavy. 

 Sales at the present time are rather slow, 

 but the nurserymen feel sure everything 

 will be cleaned up this year. There is no 

 overstock of anything in the valley this 

 year, it is said, and it would be pretty 

 hard to go out on the market in that dis- 

 trict and pick up any shorts at the pres- 

 ent time. It is believed this is the case, 

 not only in the Miami valley, but prac- 

 tically the country over. 



WHY FBUIT TREES DIDN'T SELL. 



The American farmer earned less in 

 1920 than he lias earned in any year of 

 the last ten, if his income is reckoned 

 in dollars having the same purchasing 

 power as in 1913. Figures from a report 

 of nation-wide survey show that the 

 countrv's 6,450,000 farmers, in 1920, 

 earned approximately $7,200,000,000— 

 a drop of $3,650,000,000 from their in- 

 come for tlie year before. 



ILLINOIS NURSERYMEN PLAN. 



A plan to make Illinois a better state 

 will be put into operation during the 

 month of March by the Illinois State 

 Nurserymen's Association. The plan is 

 the outgrowth of a discussion started at 

 the convention of the association, at 

 Chicago ill January, by J. A. Young, 

 secretary of the association, and is being 

 ably iiroiii(it(Ml by him. It was felt by 

 the" nurserymen "thnt their association 

 was the logical one to conduct a cam- 

 paign of reforestation. The association, 

 with the aid of the state press, will en- 

 list the services of all civic and agricul- 

 tural societies in a campaign for which 

 Jogans have been provided, such as 

 "Plan to Pl.'int Another Tree," "Save 

 Our Forests," "Build Our Orchards," 



PLAN TO PLANT ANOTHER TREE. 



We pliiu our lioiiifs. (iiir iliiinht'S. schools, 



Our Ijoulevurds. our parks and pools; 

 We pliiii our music, sjiiks iind books, 



Our giirdens unil our iiit:le nooks; 

 We plan our clilldreii's liours so tliey 



Ma,v Imve some sniisljiue ever.v day; 

 We plan our lives and with a sigh 



Cease planning only wlien we die. 

 Hut all throuKli life" hmv seldom we 



I'lan to jdant auollicr tree! 



.So plant a tree and wulcli it ttrow. 



Through it some of your blood may Bow; 

 It may become a safe retreat 



That friends will seek witli eager feet. 

 And 'neath its shade in c(k)I content 



Uless it — your liviiis; monument; 

 A tree that sings a luilaby 



To every pilgrim passing by, 

 And reaches out a friendly liiuli. 



As if to shade and shelter him. 

 SelUsh — selfish indeed is lie 



Who never plnns to plant a tree. 



A tree, a sliad.v, sheltering tree. 



Is like a living prayer to lue, 

 A prayer tluit grace and comfort lends 



To mortal man e'er it ascends 

 In thankfulness to bless the hand 



That planting it. lioth worked and planned. 

 "A tree whose thirsty mouth is |)rest 



Against the eartli's sweet flowing breast; 

 A tree that looks at (iod all day. 



And lifts Its leafy hands to pra.v; 

 I'oeins are made l)y fools like me. 



Hut only (Jod can make a tree." 



— T. H. Kendnll.

 order to create an interest in this mo^ e- 

 ment. All merchants advertising with in 

 the state of Illinois will be asked to n 

 sert the slogan of the Illinois Sttite 

 Nurserymen's Association, "Plan to 

 Plant Another Tree — Illinois — Mote 

 Fruitful and Beautiful," in their co] v. 

 It is hoped thereby to call the attention 

 of the public to the need for better gtir- 

 dens, better lawns and better fruit 

 orchards. It will create an interest in 

 jiublic welfare and give the business of 

 the nurserymen a boost. 



Secretary J. A. Young says regarding; 

 the cam])aign: "The slogan our associ.i 

 tion is trying to put over, 'Plan to Plant 

 Another Tree,' holds the attention, su<.; 

 gests two kinds of action, and undoiibt 

 edly will get a lot of people to thinking. 

 Anybody can plan, but everybody will 

 not ])lant; consequently, if everybody 

 plans to ]ilant, someone is sure to do tli.it 

 planting. The big week will be March 

 12 to 19. If we are able to make a hit 

 and get on first base this year, another 

 year we niiiy be able to make a home 

 run. Florists and nurserymen generally 

 can Slid this movement by using a rub 

 ber stamp on itll their mail and by usino 

 the slogiui in their literature. It will 

 not be a bad idea for nurserymen and 

 florists to iidvertise in March, especially 

 during the week of March 12 to 19."
