The Florists' Review 



April 28, 1021 



Reports indicate an increased demand 

 for liodgo plants this season. 



Moke nurserymen are learning each 

 season that a list of surplus items under 

 the lioading, "Nursery Stock," in the 

 Classified department of The Review will 

 move them faster tlian many circulars 

 fast into the mails. And as to expense, 

 it 's a fraction of the old way. 



•loiiN H. De Mott is establishing a 

 nursery business at Englewood, N. J. 

 Tt will be known as the Soutli Englewood 

 Nursery. Mr. De Mott is a native son of 

 Englewood and has been connected with 

 the landscape gardening, horticultural, 

 and tree surgery business all his life. 



' ' Our shipping department is at the 

 present time overwhelmed with orders 

 and before the season closes we bid fair 

 to double our last spring 's output, ' ' writes 

 Ernest F. Coe, president of the Elm City 

 Nursery Co., Now Haven, Conn., April 

 21. ' ' This is a surprise to us, as we antici- 

 pated a slowdown in sales this year owing 

 to the general state of labor conditions. It 

 has, to the contrary, acted in the opposite 

 direction, seemingly, and the general pub- 

 lic is buying more freely than ever. Civic 

 beauty and the utilization of gardens for 

 fruit, berries, etc., seem to have become 

 a uniform point of view throughout this 

 section. We believe the nurserymen's 

 market development committee is doing 

 good work along this line. "

MEMORIAL TREES. 



Plan Would Create Big Demand. 



Planting a tree along the great na- 

 tional highways in honor of each sol- 

 dier who died in the late war is the 

 suggestion of Jnmes Keeley, a former 

 newspaper owner of Chicago. His idea 

 was expanded by the added suggestion 

 that a tree could be planted for every 

 one who was in the army or navy and 

 who served in the world war. The plan 

 has been taken tip with much zeal by 

 several national organizations and also 

 by severnJ state and government boards 

 and is being given much prominence in 

 the newspapers. 



The American Legion, the G. A. R., 

 the D. A. R.. the Gold Star Mothers, 



the Buck Privates' Association, the 

 V^eterans of Foreign Wars, all service 

 auxiliaries and individual families are 

 among those included in the nation- 

 wide campaign proposed for the fur- 

 therance of this plan. President Hard- 

 ing is said to be in full sympathy with 

 the project. The United States forestry 

 bureau has already promised its aid. 

 Highway associations and govern- 

 mental bodies will be included in the 

 plans. 



Present Plantings. 

 The cooperation of the officials of 

 the Lincoln highway will, no doubt, be 

 forthcoming soon. The highway asso-

 organizations already have working

 The stage is all set for this move-
