The Rorists' Review 



June 22. 1922 



Report of the annual meeting and 

 exhibition of the American Peony So- 

 ciety will be found on a forward page 

 of this issue. 



Nurserymen who have not found a 

 power cultivator suited to their needs will 

 find valuable the leading article in this 

 issue, describing several that are now 

 used in nurseries successfully. 



The building boom augurs an excel- 

 lent business for nurserymen in the 

 autumn and next spring. The permits 

 issued in Chicago in the' first fifteen days 

 of June indicated that the month's total 

 would surpass that of May, which passed 

 all previous records. 



C. H. Perkins, of Jackson & Perkins 

 Co., Newark, N. Y., was a recent visitor in 

 Portland, Ore., with other members of 

 the order of the Mystic Shrine. He 

 visited a few of the leading rose estab- 

 lishments and continued his trip to the 

 San Francisco convention of Shriners. 



THE BEST RESULTS. 



Everything in this world is compara- 

 tive, so it is not to be taken as decry- 

 ing the efforts of the other f ellow^ when 

 an advertiser reports like this: 



Will sny that we liad the best results fnim 

 The Review and you will hear from us in the 

 fall for next season's advertising. — Tipton Nuis- 

 ery Co., Little Rock, Ark., May 27, 1922. 



If you hear a man complain of the 

 cost of advertising, you can be pretty 

 certain he spends a good bit of money 

 elsewhere than in The Review.

 the Washington Nurserv Co., Toppenish, 

 Wash.

 Mayor Albert Elkus. Henry W'. 

 Kruckeberg, of Los Angeles, delivered 

 the association's response. J. W. Barni- 

 cott, tlie retiring president, gave an in- 

 teresting annual address, and a satis- 

 factory annual report w-as made by 

 Secretary Chancellor K. (^.rady.

 read at the various sessions. They

 precipitated by Dr. Marlatt 's talk on
