indebtedness to the three local banks, 

 and they are in this way secured. The 

 receiver, however, believes there will 

 be sufficient assets to satisfy both se- 

 cured and unsecured creditors. Two 

 suits against th« firm were noted in 

 last week's issue of The Keview, those 

 of Henry Theze and Joseph Mabassek 

 for $1,035.90 and of F. Eynveld for 

 $436.57. In addition to these a suit 

 was filed by Mary B. Schuster for 

 $1,200 alleged due her on ten shares of 

 capital stock. Several levies have also 

 been executed by the sheriflP for small 

 •laims. 



History of the Company. 



The history of the Phoenix Nursery 

 Oo. dates back to 1852, when Franklin 

 K. Phoenix, from Wisconsin, purchased 

 the nursery of Eobert Fell. In 1858 

 the nursery covered eighty acres; teu 

 years later it had grown to 600 acres, 

 but in the hard times of 1877 the firm 

 failed. John S. Tuttle and Alonzo Fol- 

 Jett purchased the Phoenix Nursery in 

 1877 and sold out to the Bloomington 

 Nursery Co., a stock company, six years 

 later. Two years afterward Sidney 

 Tuttle and W. E. Rossney bought the 

 nursery. In 1887 the Phoenix Nursery 

 Co. was incorporated, with W. E. Ross- 

 ney, president; Sidney Tuttle, vice- 

 president, and George J. Foster, secre- 

 tary. Gradually Mr. Rossney has ac- 

 quired the stock of the other two and 

 now is owner of the larger part of the 

 ♦•ompany's stock. 



CAUFOBNIANS PLAN MEETING. 



Plans are being made for the enter- 

 tainment of the members of the Cali- 

 fornia Association of Nurserymen, 

 which holds its third annual meeting 

 at Fresno, October 16 to 18. One of 

 the features of the meeting is to be 

 an exhibit of nursery stock of all kinds 

 from all over the state. That staged 

 last year at the convention at Oakland 

 was a conspicuous success. A ladies' 

 night has also been suggested, when 

 topics of interest to them as well as 

 to the men will be taken up. 



The arrangements which are now be- 

 ing made by the officers of the organi- 

 sation provide for addresses on ques- 

 tions of vital interest to the nursery- 

 men from all sections of the state. 

 Among those who are expected to ap- 

 pear before the convention are Luther 

 Bui'bank, Prof. E. J. Wickson and Dr. 

 Thos. H. Hunt, of the University of 

 California, and A. J. Cook, state horti- 

 cultural commissioner. The president 

 of the association is Frank H. Wilson, 

 of Fresno, and the secretary-treasurer 

 H. W. Kruckeberg, of Los Angeles.
