The Florists^ Review 



May 11. 1922 



It was a hard winter on evergreens in 

 the middle west. With little snow and 

 alternate freezing and thawing, the 

 losses were considerable, both in nursery 

 rows and in permanent plantings. 



The number of nurserymen among the 

 13,000 readers of The Review is greater 

 than the number of those who pay to re- 

 ceive any other trade periodical. Good 

 reason for this showing lies in the fact 

 that in the Nursery Trade Department of 

 this paper thoy get all the news and get 

 it first. 



No nurserymen's movement lias won 

 so much support in so short a time as 

 has the Illinois caiii|iaign to "Plan to 

 Plant Another Tree. ' ' It would be prof- 

 itable to them if nurserymen in other 

 states could, in return for financial sup- 

 ]»ort of the caiii])aign, induce Secretary 

 J. A. Young to send the weekly clip sheet 

 to the newspapers of tlieir respective sec- 

 tions. 



A CONTEJIPOKARY, in j)roclaiiiiing that 

 it carries twice as much nursery advertis- 

 ing as any other weekly, evidently has 

 overlooked the Classified columns of The 

 Review. Under the various headings are 

 from twelve to fifteen columns of nursery 

 advertising each week, which is about as 

 much as the aforesaid contemj)orary car- 

 ries on both display and classified pages 

 in issues other than those of which an 

 extra thousand or more copies are dis- 

 tributed gratis. 



FARE TO A. A. N. CONVENTION. 



The railroad passenger associations 

 have arranged a one and one-half fare 

 for the round tri]i for attendance at the 

 annual convention of the American As- 

 sociation of Nurserymen, at Detroit, 

 Mich., June 28 to HO, on condition that 

 certificates for 250 tickets be presented 

 to the secretary at the convention. 



One-way tickets going to the conven- 

 tion will only be sold June 24 to June 

 80, inclusive, but bo sure when pur- 

 chasing your going ticket to request 

 from the agent a certificate. Do not 

 make the mistake of asking for a re- 

 cei])t. Certificates are not kept at all 

 stations. Inquire from your agent sev- 

 eral days ahead of time, and if he has 

 no certificates, request him to get sev- 

 eral. If he is unable to do that, simply 

 purchase a local ticket to the nearest sta- 

 tion where certificates can be secured, 

 and then buy your one-way ticket to 

 Detroit and ask the agent for a cer- 

 tificate. 



As soon as you arrive at the conven- 

 tion be sure to deliver your certificate 

 to the secretary in order that he may 

 ascertain if the necessary 250 certifi- 

 cates have been received in order to get 

 the one-half fare for the return trip. 

 A special agent of the railroads will be 

 in attendance at the convention, June 

 28 to 30, inclusive, from 8:30 a. m. to 

 5:30 p. m., to validate certificates. If 

 the necessary minimum of 250 tickets is 

 presented to the special agent and your 

 certificate is duly validated, you will 

 be entitled, up to and including July 4, 

 to a return ticket via the same route 

 over which you made the going journey 



at one-half of the regular one-way tariff 

 fare. 



The return ticket issued at the re- 

 duced fare will not be good on any 

 limited train on which reduced fare 

 transportation is not honored. 



TEACHING TREE SURGERY. 



There is on display in the department 

 of botany at Brown University, at 

 Providence, R. I., an exhibit on "Tree 

 Surgery." This exhibit is one of sev- 

 eral prepared for educational purposes, 

 to be shown all over the United States 

 in the next few months, for the purpose 

 of demonstrating proper methods of 

 treating diseased or injured shade, or- 

 namental or fruit trees. The display 

 consists of a series of panels contain- 

 ing portions of trees and colored photo- 

 graphs, with abundant explanatory mat- 

 ter, showing methods of removing 

 branches, guying limbs, treating 



wounds, preparing and filling cavities, 

 protecting trees from danger, etc. 



The exhibit was prepared by Prof. J. 

 Franklin Collins, of Providence, former- 

 ly head of the department of botany in 

 Brown University and now pathologist 

 in charge of the office of forest pathology 

 maintained by the United States De- 

 partment of Agriculture in collabora- 

 tion with Brown University. Professor 

 Collins has made a special study of tree 

 surgery for many years, with the idea 

 of bringing scientific knowledge into 

 this popular field to replace many quack 

 practices now in vogue, and, in addition 

 to standardizing the practice of tree 

 surgery, he has invented two new, supe- 

 rior types of tree filling, which are sub- 

 ject to public service patents.
