The Florists' Review 



OCXOBEB 30, 1913. 



The obituary column this week con- 

 tains the notice of the death of R. B. 

 Btoddard, a veteran nurseryman of Ster- 

 ling, 111. 



Frederick Aebi, formerly in the nur- 

 sery business at Rutherford, Cal., has 

 jmoved to 1547 Russell street, Berkeley, 

 California. 



Plans are being drawn up for a rein- 

 forced concrete office building for the 

 Texas Nursery Co., at Sherman, Tex., 

 work on which will be started at once. 



P. H. Sims, of the Sims & Co. Nursery, 

 has moved from East St. Louis to Litch- 

 field, 111,, where, with his two sons, Roy 

 and James Sims, he will set out nursery 

 stock. 



A. L. ZiMMERM.VN, who formerly con- 

 ducted a nursery near Weatherby. Mo., 

 expresses a decided preference for the 

 Texas climate, after having spent four 

 years in the southwestern part of that 

 state. 



The T. M, Mellville Nurseries Co. has 

 been established at Phoenix, Ark., and a 

 store opened at the corner of Polk and 

 First streets. T. M. Mellville and E. J. 

 Helsey, both experienced in this line, are 

 partners in the enterprise. 



A DECISION of the attorney-general of 

 the state of Washington, holding that 

 counties cannot levy a tax to provide for 

 horticultural inspection, has put this 

 work entirely in the hands of the state 

 inspectors. This will insure uniform in- 

 spection within that state, at least. 



A nursery is being started at Orange 

 Park, Fla., by Mr. Schultze, of the firm 

 of Schultze & Obermaier, York, Pa., who 

 is a landscape architect and came to this 

 country from Dresden, Germany. He has 

 put in a new irrigating system of his own 

 invention and later will erect greenhouses. 



While the nurseries that deal exclu- 

 sively in fruit trees do not, as a rule, con- 

 sider the immediate future as holding out 

 any especially bright promise, those that 

 deal in ornamentals, hardy perennials, 

 etc.. are in position to look forward to the 

 best season on record. The sale for orna- 

 mentals never was better than now. 



Theodore Tice, who is associated with 

 his father-in-law. Prof. ChaflFer, in grow- 

 ing nursery stock for orange and grape 

 fruit groves, at Lemon Bluff, Volusia 

 county, Fla., has resigned his position as 

 head of the mechanical department of 

 the Gazette-News, of Daytona, Fla., to 

 give his whole time to the nursery busi- 

 ness. 



Competition in the nursery line is 

 being begun by the state of New Hamp- 

 shire. The nursery established three 

 years ago by the forestry department is 

 now yielding trees for distribution. Over 

 200,000 have already been supplied to 

 applicants and more than 4.000,000 have 

 been grown, including white, red and 

 Scotch pine, Norway and white spruce, 

 European larch, basket willow, southern 

 poplar and fir balsam. The state fur- 

 nishes the trees to any applicant in the 

 state at the rate of $2 per thousand 

 seedlings, .$4 for medium sized and $6 

 for large trees. 



The EI Paso Nursery Co., of El Paso, 

 Tex., has been incorporated with a capi- 

 talization of $20,000 by Charles Davis, 

 W. D. Wise and R. A. Harris. 



The Perry Nursery Co., Rochester, N, 

 Y., now has 1,200 acres in nurseries in 

 the Genessee valley, which is asserted to 

 be the best section in the country for 

 growing nursery stock. 



R. J. COE, of the Coe, Converse & Ed- 

 wards Co., of Fort Atkinson, Wis., spoke 

 to the members of the Oshkosh Horticul- 

 tural Society at the October meeting on 

 the interesting subject, ' ' How I Became 

 a Horticulturist." 



This is the eighth year in business of 

 the Hankinson Nursery Co., of Hankin- 

 son, N. D. Each year has brought larger 

 returns than the year before, and this 

 fall's shipments, with which the entire 

 force is now busy, will raise the sea- 

 son's total above all previous ones. 



The Colorado Nursery Co., of Love- 

 land, Colo., is again in the hands of O. D. 

 Shields and J. J. Noble. The former be- 

 gan the business in 1880 and four years 

 later formed, with the latter, the Colo- 

 rado Nursery Co., which they carried on 

 successfully for sixteen years until they 

 sold it. The business has now reverted 

 to the two original owners. 



BOGUS CHECKS ON NURSERIES. 



Warnings have been sent to banks 

 advising them of the use of bogus nurs- 

 ery company checks by a swindler oper- 

 ating in Ohio, Michigan and Indiana. 

 Different names are used on the checks. 

 Banking authorities at Columbus say 

 that among the names used are these: 

 ' ' Phoenix Nursery Co., per A. C. Cum- 

 mins, treasurer;" "The Sherwood Nur- 

 sery Co., per A. C. Sherwood, treas- 

 urer," and "Standard Nursery Co., per 

 H. C. Simpson, treasurer." 



COMPLY WITH QUARANTINE ACT. 



Canada and Scotland have been 

 added to the list of nations which have 

 complied with the inspection and cer- 

 tification requirements of the Agricul- 

 tural Department of the United States 

 under the plant quarantine act. The 

 division of entomology of the Canadian 

 department of agriculture will inspect, 

 certify and seal shipments of plants

SHIPMENTS OF TREES COMING. 



The fall imports of nursery stock 

 are coming now, and the steamers from 

 the European ports in general and from 

 Rotterdam in particular bring a good 

 number of cases of shrubs and trees. 

 The Rotterdam boat that reached New 

 York October 22 brought the follow-

PINK AND WHITE DOGWOODS. 



Will you kindly inform me what is 

 the correct name of the much admired 

 dogwood which we find in the woods all 

 through America? I mean the one 

 which grows to the size of a small tree 

 and flowers early in summer, bearing 

 large, single flowers. In the west it 

 blooms white only, but in the east there 

 are many pink flowering ones. 1 want 

 to get seed of the pink flowering va- 

 riety, but do not know where to obtain 

 it. Where could I get it? C. V. A. 



Cornus florida is probably the white 

 variety referred to. There is also a 

 pink form, called C. florida rubra. I 

 do not know what firm offers seeds of 

 this dogwood, but the plants are ob- 

 tainable from most of the large nur- 

 series. To be sure of securing the pink 

 variety, true to name, I would advise 

 you to secure plants from some good 

 nursery. C. W.
