The Rorists^ Review 



May 2r,, 1922 



The death of H. H. Moekor, of Crown 

 Point, Ind., is reported in the obituary 

 columns of tliis issue. 



Fred H. Howard, president of Howard 

 & Smith, Los Angeles, Cal., was in San 

 Francisco last week attending the execu- 

 tive meeting of the California Association 

 of Nurserymen. 



Sevenxy-nine varieties of api)les from 

 twenty states were reported offered in the 

 Chicago market during the 1920-21 season. 

 The principal varieties are limited to 

 about a dozen. New York, Michigan and 

 Wasliington are the states shipping most 

 heavily to the Chicago market. 



Owing to the early season, it has been 

 found necessary to advance the date of 

 the exhibition and annual meeting, at 

 New York, of the American Iris Society 

 to Saturday, May 27. The blooms are to 

 be staged Friday, May 26, in the Museum 

 building at the New York botanical 

 gardens in Bronx park. 



Garden editors on newspapers in Illi- 

 nois and other central states speak of 

 the "Plan to Plant Another Tree" clij) 

 sheet sent out by J. A. Young, secretary 

 of the Illinois State Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation, Aurora, as one of the most 

 valuable sources of material they have. 

 The material presented is all practical, 

 covers a variety of trees, shrubs and 

 flowers and is most timely in its prescnta 

 tion. 



The Illinois Forestry Association was 

 formed a few days ago, with the object 

 of educating the people of the state in 

 forestry matters. It will make an effort 

 to further the slogan, "Plan to Plant 

 Anotlier Tree." There are reported to be 

 about six million acres of land in Illinois 

 available for forestation. Apparently 

 there is much room for the work of the 

 association. One of the most active pro 

 motors of the organization, from whom 

 further information about it can be ob- 

 tained, is D. L. Goodwillie, Lumbermen's 

 Kxchangc, Chicago. 



"At the end of the season," says 

 N. I. W. Kriek, sales manager for the 

 Weller Nurseries Co., Holland, Mich., 

 "we find ourselves with ))ractically no 

 suri^lus of anything. Gladiolus bulbs are 

 entirely sold out. Keports we are getting 

 from triends in the business indicate that 

 tlie nursery soiison has l)een a successful 

 one. I>ast week Ave had a few days of 

 rain, which was needecl ami put us in fine 

 sliajie for sowing and further planting. 

 We increased our ])lantings consid(>ral>ly 

 over last year's, both in ])erennials and 

 gladioli. The climatic and soil condi- 

 tions here have provi-n to be unexcelled 

 for hardy jjlants and bulbous jdants." 



Mis.souRi fruit ]irospects are the best 

 since 1914. All fruit trees, except a few 

 varieties of apples, set heavy bloom and 

 a bumper crop is expected. Local liail 

 storms in Vernon, Morgan ami Cole did 

 some damage, while pears and jieaclies 

 were hurt at scattered points by frosts in 

 April. Ben Davis apples indicate a third 

 of a crop in McDonald. Strawberries are 

 rejiorted never to have been better in the 

 commercial section upon a large acreage. 

 Present condition of apjde^; is ninety per 



cent; j)eaches, ninety-one per cent; cher- 

 ries and plums, ninety-one per cent, and 

 strawberries, ninety-one per cent. Fer- 

 tilization of apples has been poor. 



ROCHESTER ROSE CLUB ELECTS. 



At a meeting of the Eochester Rose 

 Society in the auditorium of the Mu- 

 nicipal Museum building at Exposition 

 park. May 12, the following oflicers 

 were elected for the coming year: Presi- 

 dent, John Dunbar; first vice-president, 

 I'red Barry; second vice-president, Mrs. 

 S. P. Moore; secretary, Paul C. Seel; 

 treasurer, H. G. Dewey. A discussion 

 was held concerning the plans for the 

 proposed rose show to be given by the 

 society, but nothing definite was de- 

 cided. 



FRUIT NOT DAMAGED. 



The damage to eastern fruit crops by 

 frosts this spring has not been so great 

 as it was at first thought, according to 

 Orlando Harrison, of the Harrison Nurs- 

 eries, Berlin, Md. Senator Harrison 

 said that the fruit of Delaware and the 

 eastern shore of Maryland had been 



only slightly damaged by the recent 

 cold spell. At Eastoii, Md., early and 

 late apples and peaches will yield 100 

 per cent. At Hurlock, where the firm 

 has 300 acres in fruit, the yield will be 

 ninety per cent ; at Seaford, Del., where 

 there are 225 acres in fruit, the yield 

 of early and winter apples will be 

 seventy-five per cent; at Berlin, Md., 

 where there are 1,000 acres in peach 

 and apple trees, a yiold of ninety per 

 cent is expected in pi^.tches, 100 per 

 cent in early apiiles and seventy-five 

 j)er cent in winter apples. From the 

 IJerlin orchards Air. Harrison is expect- 

 ing 300 carloads of peaches alone. 

 Tliere are 40,000 apple trees here and 

 60,000 peach trees. The strawberry 

 crop at Berlin is estimated at one-third 

 normal. Strawberries in some sections 

 of Kent county suft'i.'red damage to 

 some extent, but a large late crop is 

 looked for. Grapes, while slightly 

 harmed, have not bi>eu seriously af- 

 fected.
