The Flojrists^ Review 



luLx 9, 191^. 



Irvin Inokls has received the material 

 for a greenhouse, which will shortly be 

 erected at his nursery, at La Fayette, 111. 



The older members of the trade may 

 recall W. H. Tincher, who over ten years 

 ago conducted a nursery at Decatur, 111., 

 and whose deatli is recorded in the obitu- 

 ary coUinin this week. 



Another greenhouse, 300 feet in 

 length, has just been completed by the 

 Sherman Nursery Co., at Charles City, la. 

 The company has now three of this size 

 and several smaller ones. 



The Shelta Cavern property, one of the 

 show places of the state, near Hunta- 

 ville, Ala., has been purchased by Milton 

 Moss, of the Huntsville Wholesale Nurs 

 eries, for a consideration of $6,000. 



The Sierra Banch Nursery, near De- 

 lano, Cal., has been taken over by Joseph 

 Bichardson, George A. H. Farmer and 

 A. G. Storie. They expect to have 50,- 

 000 trees to put on the market next year. 



The nurseries at Fremont, Neb., hith- 

 erto conducted under the name of G. L. 

 Welch & Co., have been incorporated 

 under the title of the Plumfield Nurs- 

 eries. The capital has been fixed at 

 $50,000 and the incorporators are- G. L. 

 Welch, M. E. Boesch, M. H. Welch, E. S. 

 Welch and L. A. MoflStt. Mr. Boesch, 

 who but recently went to Fremont, will 

 be the manager of the concern. 



Late in July a committee of the Texas 

 Nurserymen's Association will meet with 

 committees from a number of other or- 

 ganizations in the state to consider the 

 establishment of an arbpretum and bo- 

 tanical garden in some city of the state, 

 the choice of which is to be governed by 

 the climatic conditions and facilities of 

 the location. Specimens of all the plants, 

 trees and shrubs of the state are to be 

 gathered together in one collection, which 

 will be a complete guide to the plant- 

 life of the region. 



PACIFIC COAST PEESIDENT. 



John Vallance, the newly elected 

 president of the Pacific Coast Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen, has been in the 

 nursery business ever since he came to 

 this country, at the age of 21, twenty- 

 eight years ago, from Edinburgh, Scot- 

 land, where he was born. For a num- 

 ber of years he acted as manager of the 

 nursery department of C. C. Morse & 

 Co., at San Francisco, Cal., until he 

 bought this branch of the firm's busi- 

 ness a short time ago. He is the pro-

ALLOWANCE POti PACKING. 



Are you getting your preservative 

 allowance on carload shipments of 

 trees, etc., to and fl"om the Patifie 

 coast and points in the northw^'st? 

 These allo.wances are for packing ma- 

 terials, such ,as straw, shingle tow, 

 shavings, etc. It seems that some of 

 the nurseries throughout the country 

 are not taking advantage of these al- 

 lowances. From Portland and most 

 points in Idaho, Montana, Oregon and 

 Washington to all eastern points there 

 is an allowance of 2,000 pounds of 

 preservative for packing around the 

 trees in the body of the car. To and 

 from a number of other points in the 

 northwest territory there is no men- 

 tion made of the amount of preserva- 

 tive allowed. In such cases, if there 

 is 5,000 pounds of preservative used, 

 this amount should be deducted from 

 the total weight of the car. Of course 

 the minimum weight of the car in every 

 case must be preserved. Although this 

 amount is not great on one shipment, 

 on a number of cars it soon amounts 

 to a considerable saving. For in- 

 stance: On a shipment moving from 

 Portland, Ore., to Kansas City, St. 

 Louis, Om£^ha and any other points 

 throughout the Mississippi valley, 

 where the rate is $1.25 per hundred, 

 the saving would be $25 per car. On 

 ten carloads you could save about the 

 freight on one car. To get this al- 

 lowance the bill of lading must carry 

 the notation of the amount and the 

 kind of preservative that is used in 

 the car. Unless this is shown you will 

 be unable to get the railroad to reduce 

 the amount of the freight. 



On shipments moving from points in 

 the middle west, such as Sioux (Jityi 

 Omaha, Kansas City or Topeka, there 

 is an allowance of 500 pounds for dun- 

 nage loaded in the body of the c;.r as
