The Florists' Review 



Max 18, 1922 



The annual meeting of the California 

 Association of Nurserymen will be held at 

 Sacramento June 1 to 3. 



Repkksentatives of the principal 

 nurserymen 's organizations were in Wash- 

 ington at the beginning of the week to 

 attend the conference on quarantine 37, 

 held May 15. A meeting of nurserymen 

 was held Saturday evening, May 13, at the 

 New Willard hotel. Report of the con- 

 ference proceedings appears on a forward 

 page. 



ADVERTISING EVEIIGSEENS. 



Among the spring advertising done 

 by nurserymen, some single-column in- 

 sertions, three and one-half inches deep, 

 in the Chicago newspapers were par- 

 ticularly good business-pullers for 

 Swain Nelson & Sons Co., who have a 

 loop ofiice in the Marquette building 

 and 250 acres in nursery stock at Glen 

 View, just northwest of the city. One 

 of these little advertisements of Swain 

 Nelson & Sons Co. reads as follows: 



BUY EVEKGREENS NOW! 



They make wonderful backgrounds for glorious 

 rtowers. Klght In their prime, ready for trans- 

 planting from our 250-acre nurseries. In all 

 types, sizes, sturdy, strong and beautiful. 



Come to our nurseries, just oft the Waukegan 

 road, west of Glen View, or write for interest- 

 ing booklet. 



Another .'ulvcrtisement of the same 

 .size carries the following message: 



EVERGREENS I'RODTTCE IMMEDIATE 



EFFECTS. 



The indispensul)lH evergreens give forraiil ef 

 fects with true warmth of decoration. We have 

 thousands of wonderful trees to select from. 

 All tyi>es and sizes. Uardy and everlasting. 

 Now is the time to select and tninsplant for 

 years of enjoyment to come.

 booklet. 



IRIS SYMPOSIUM. 



Bulletin No. 5 of the American Iris 

 Society, dated May, 1922, is an iris sym- 

 posium. It is in the form of a vote by 

 twenty-three members of the American 

 Iris Society as to the relative values of 

 varieties of bearded irises. The expe- 

 rience of the American Peony Society 

 in its effort to obtain a symposium of 

 value led the oflScers of the American 

 Iris Society to base this symposium 

 upon the verdict of twenty-five care- 

 fully selected jurors. The symposium 

 was initiated by President John C. Wis- 

 ter and carried out under the direction 

 of C. P. Connell, of Centennial park, 

 Nashville, Tenn. The other members 

 of the jury and the states in which they 

 are. located are given in the following 

 list: 



A. C. Amy, Minn. Sydney B. Mitchell, Cal. 



.S. Stillman Berry, Cal. B. Y. Morrison. D. C. 



.lames Boyd, Pa. Harry A. Norton, Que- 



Lee U. Bonnewitz, O. bee. 



Sam P. Burchfleld, Mich. William A. Peterson. 



Mrs. Jennett Dean, Cal. 111. 



Bertrand H. Farr. Pa. Charles Phillips, 0. 



Dr. H. C. Glen, Tenn. W. E. Saunders, On- 



C. W. Hubbard, 111. tario. 



T. A. Kenning, Minn. 

 Mrs. H. O. Lloyd, Pa. 

 V K. Mead, Ind. 

 Mrs. E. P. McKInney, 

 N. J. 



Grace Sturtevant, Mass. 

 R. S. Sturtevant, Mass. 

 John 0. Wister, Pa. 



Two of the jurors originally selected 

 declined to serve, so that the final num- 

 ber was twenty-three. The symposium, 

 which contains the names of several 

 hundred varieties of bearded irises, is of 



much interest and will be wanted by all 

 those who are interested in this flower. 



IRIS SOCIETY MEETING. 



The American Iris Society will hold 

 its annual exhibition in cooperation 

 with the Horticultural Society of New 

 York in the Museum building, at Bronx

 Notice of entry should be sent to Mrs. 

 George V. Nash, at the New York Bo- 

 tanical Gardens, at least two days be- 

 fore the opening of the show. The 

 society has provided a silver medal to

 will then adjourn to the test garden 

 nearby, where there are over 1,000 va- 

 rieties of irises and where the extensive 

 plantings of 1920 should give splendid 

 bloom. A large gathering of commer- 

 cial and amateur iris enthusiasts are 

 expected to be present. 



PAINESVILLE, O. 



Many nurserymen in this locality have 

 stopped planting, owing to the dry 

 weather. With little or no rain during 

 the last three weeks, the ground has 

 become hard and dry. 



The shipping season of nursery stock 

 is about to close and reports are unani- 

 mous that the spring sales of 1922 were 

 the largest ever. 



The Storrs & Harrison Co., notwith- 

 standing the heavy loss caused by hail 

 last year, has had an exceptionally pros- 

 perous season. 



Thomas J. Murphy has had a busy 

 spring season, having sold out entirely 

 in pansies, perennials and shrubs.
