The Florists' Review 



May 4, 1922 



The death of Max Paul Haendler, pro- 

 prietor of the Old Town Nurseries, 

 South Natick, Mass., is reported in the 

 obituary column of this issue. 



J. A. Young, of Aurora, 111., will repre- 

 sent the Illiiu)is State Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation, of wliich he is secretary, at the 

 conference on ((uarantine 37, at Wash- 

 ington, D. C, May 15. 



The Central Alabama Pecan Growers' 

 Association has been incorporated at 

 Sclma, Ala., with Clifton Cabrara, of 

 Kirkpatrick, president; G. E. Beers, of 

 Tyler, as vice-president, and T. H. Miller, 

 of Selnia, as secretary and treasurer. 



William A. Peterson, the well known 

 Chicago nurseryman, celebrated his fifty- 

 fifth anniversary April 29. He was born 

 at the nursery his father had established 

 in 1856 and which the son has made 

 known around the world for its peonies 

 and irises. 



Much damage was done to fruit in the 

 upper Ohio valley and central and north- 

 ern Appalachian mountain localities by 

 the recent severe frost and freezing tem- 

 peratures, according to last week's report 

 of the weather bureau. Full and exact 

 reports are not yet given, but it appears 

 that damage was greatest in the moun- 

 tain sections of Virginia, West Virginia, 

 Maryland and Pennsylvania. The de- 

 struction, hoAvever, was not nearly so 

 comjjlete or so extensive as that caused 

 by the freeze the latter part of April a 

 year ago. 



An effort, although it may or may 

 not be an unconscious one, to interest 

 people in reforestation is being made 

 by Norman Taylor, of the Brooklyn 

 Botanic Gardens, who is writing a book 

 on "The Vegetation of Long Island." 

 Mr. Taylor is offering prizes for the most 

 complete list of names of the largest na- 

 tive trees on the island. The primary ob- 

 ject of Mr. Taylor's quest is, of course, 

 to ol)tain material for his book, but tlie 

 fact that he is hereby creating an interest 

 among children and grown-ups which will 

 be of value to the nurseryman in a refor- 

 estation campaign cannot be denied. 



HELP PLANTING CAMPAIGN. 



The success of the "Plan to Plant 

 Another Tree" campaign, inaugurated 

 by tlie Illinois State Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation less than three months ago, 

 has been so marked that it is believed 

 many nurserymen, outside as well as in 

 Illinois, will readily and hcjirtily re- 

 spond to the projiosal to extend the 

 work by means of subscrijitions from 

 nurs(>rymen in all parts of the country. 

 The details of the ])laii are given in the 

 following letter sent to meniliers of the 

 Illinois State Nurserymen's Association 

 by A. H. Hill, of Dundee, who is cliair- 

 man of the finance committee, under 

 which the campaign is being o])erat('d:

generous as possible, write ft check at once, and 

 send it to Miles Urjant, Princeton, 111. 

 Give every dollar you feel you can afford. 



Clubs such as Lions, Rotary and Kivranis, cham. 

 bers of commerce, women's clubs, etc., as well 

 ns farm bureaus, have come forward and joined 

 in an effort to drive home the slogan, "Plan to 

 Plant Another Tree." 



It has not stopped at the boundary line of Illi- 

 nois. More than 100 nurseries and seed houses 

 outside of Illinois have purchased the rubber 

 stamp, "Plan to Plant Another Tree," and are 

 using it on their mall. Newspapers and clubs 

 in Iowa, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin and Michigan 

 have taken up our movement and want to push 

 our plan in their states. Even Pennsylvania 

 and South Carolina are heard from, wishing to 

 push a program of such merit. 



The executive committee realizes that "Plan 

 to Plant Another Tree" is not for March and 

 April, but for all the year. The newspapers and 

 clubs are doing their part and, with the finan- 

 cial help of the nurserymen, "Plan to Plant An- 

 other Tree" will go forward in a nation-wide 

 movement to make America a better place in 

 which to live, and all nurserymen will benefit. 



All of the material thus far has passed through 

 the hands of your secretary, J. A. Young, of 

 Aurora. He is giving his time free toward the 

 best interests of all nurserymen. You, gentlemen, 

 all realize that an undertaking of this character 

 demands much time and careful thought. It 

 Mr. Young will give his time, surely we nursery- 

 men, who will benefit from his efforts, should be 

 generous in our support of this campaign with 

 the necessary money to carry on the work. 



A careful estimate worked out by the executive 

 ooniraittee indicates that it will require $2,000 

 to keep up the good work for the year. This 

 means a small sum for each one of us, if ever>- 

 member of the association and other interested 

 ntirserymen will give either $10, $25, $50 or 

 $100 to Insure that there is plenty of money in 

 the treasury to carry on tliis Important piece of 

 work for the nurserymen. The following nurs- 

 erymen have given $100 each: Peterson Nursery, 

 Chicago; Klebm's Nursery, Arlington Heights, 

 111.; Swain Nelson & Sons Co., Chicago; D. Hill 

 Nursery Co., Dundee, 111., and Aurora Nursery, 

 Aurora, III. 



We ask that you sit down right now and make 

 out a check to Miles Hryant, Princeton, 111., for 

 the amount you feel you can afford to appropriate 

 as your share of the necessary expense. 



The nursery interests have already received 

 many thousands of dollars' worth of advertising 

 space in the papers. This advertising has been 

 of the very l)est of its kind for the nursery in- 

 terests. Splendid editorials have been written 

 commending the work of the Illinois State Nurs- 

 erymen's Association. We, us nurserymen, can- 

 not afford at this time to discontinue our efforts 

 or lessen the good work for lack of funds. He as

CALIFORNIA NURSERY EXPANDS. 



The California Nursery, at Niles, 

 Cal., has spent many thousands of dol- 

 lars in the last few months for new 

 buildings, new equipment and new prop- 

 agation, until the oldest nursery in the 

 state maintains its position of the larg- 

 est in size with the greatest variety 

 of nursery products in the state. Those 

 who knew the California Nursery 

 of last season would hardly recog- 

 nize the place today, with its increased 

 equipment and new buildings, upon 

 which probably $25,000 have been 

 spent. 



Probably the most visible and im- 

 portant improvement has been the con- 

 struction of a new building for the 

 display and sale of plants and trees. 

 This is a lath house. An entirely 

 new building of this character has been 

 built at the entrance to the property 

 of tlie company, just north of the un- 

 derpass at Niles. This building is in- 

 tended for a salesroom, where custom- 

 ers can see the plants that they are 

 buying just as they will stand in the 

 gardens when planted. 



This system of selling is an innova- 

 tion and follows closely the line of re- 

 tailing any ordinary line of goods. The 

 management of the California Nursery 

 decided thjit purchasers of ornamental 

 plants must be able to see what their 

 purchases look like and be able to pick 

 out just what they want. So the great 

 display lath house was built as a sales- 

 room, and customers now drive up to 



be made same da; In all cases.
