The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 16. 1022 



The entire business of the Derry Nurs- 

 eries, formerly of Germantown, Pa., has 

 been moved to Holmesburg, Philadelphia, 

 Pa. R. W. Gilmore is the proprietor of 

 this firm. 



In last week 's Review John H. Day- 

 ton was referred to as manager of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., Painesville, O. 

 He is secretary of the company, of course. 

 The manager, everybody knows, is Robert 

 George. 



The old picture of the ostrich with 

 its liead in the sand is called to mind 

 by those wholesale nuserymen who think 

 their competitors do not know their prices 

 because they maU lists only to a select roll 

 of names. 



There is no slackening in the demand 

 for ornamental stock, both trees and 

 shrubs, and for evergreens. The nursery- 

 man who has them to offer has only to 

 locate his buyers. Specific offers in the 

 columns of The Review, either in this de- 

 partment or in the Classified columns, ac- 

 complishes that. 



The campaign of the Illinois State 

 Nurserymen 's Association urging the pub- 

 lic to "Plan to Plant Another Tree" is 

 reenforced by nurserymen of the state 

 stamping the slogan on the catalogues 

 they send out. A clip sheet has been 

 sent out to newspaper editors containing 

 an article on evergreens by A. H. Hill 

 and shorter ones by J. A. Young and 

 F. F. Rockwell. 



Upon the retirement of Ernest F. Coe, 

 founder and president, from the Elm City 

 Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn., new of- 

 ficers were chosen at the annual meeting. 

 The now roster is: President, Walter E. 

 Campbell; vice-president and general 

 manager, W. W. McCartney; secretary 

 and treasurer, Robert B. Faxon; superin- 

 tendent, William H. Egan; director of 

 landscape department, John L. Donnelly. 

 Mr. Campbell has been with the company 

 for the last fifteen years. Mr. McCart- 

 ney has had much to do with the building 

 up of the company's interest at Wood- 

 mont. Mr. Faxon is a graduate of the 

 landscape department of Ohio State Uni- 

 versity. Mr. F]gan has grown up with the 

 business at Edgewood. Mr. Donnelly 

 graduated from the landscape department 

 of Michigan Agricultural College. All 

 have been with the company some years. 

 They take over Mr. Coe's entire interests.

CREATING A DESIRE TO PLANT. 



Interesting the Public. 



"We have tried to create, in the minds 

 of the people, a greater desire to plant 

 trees by means other than the usual 

 type of advertising," said Clarence 0. 

 Sicbenthaler, of the John Siebenthaler 

 Nurseries, Dayton, 0., speaking before 

 the convention of the Illinois State Nurs- 

 erymen 's Association at Chicago. "Some 

 of these features were highly successful 

 and profitable, and I will set forth four 

 of them, as follows: First, a plant 

 life department; second, an essay con- 

 test; third, a national tree voting con- 

 test; fourth, planting memorial trees. 



"With the idea of a better under- 

 standing of plants in mind, a local paper 

 was induced to install a plant life de- 

 partment. The purpose of this depart- 

 ment was to answer any inquiries re- 

 garding the care, treatment or identifi- 

 cation of plants. This feature was 

 started in July of last year and, despite 

 the fact that the planting season is past, 

 interest is still being manifested by the
