The Florists^ Review 



Januaby 28. 1915. 



Incorporation papers have been issued 

 to Maney & Sayre, of Geneva, N. Y., to 

 do a general nursery business. The capi- 

 tal stock is $30,000. The incorporators 

 are T. J. Maney, R. M. Sayre and Fitz- 

 hugh McGrew, all of Geneva. 



C. W. Cabman, founder of the Law- 

 rence Nursery Co., at Lawrence, Kan., 

 is creating a surprise in his town by 

 taking an active part in politics. He 

 Hs a candidate for mayor, running against 

 the present occupant of the office. 



Utah's importance as a fruit-growing 

 state may be judged by a recent state- 

 ment that there is a total of 43,660 acres 

 of fruit land in the state, the estimated 

 value of which is $17,466,000, and on 

 which there are about 6,548,000 fruit 

 trees. 



The shipments of French fruit stocks 

 are arriving in large quantities. Instead 

 of a scarcity, it appears orders will be 

 filled in full and an effort will be made 

 by the French houses to work off in 

 America quantities grown for markets 

 now closed to France. 



Leonard Coates, of Morgan Hill, Cal., 

 well known to the nurserymen of the 

 Pacific coast, was married January 10 

 to Miss Annie A. Ellis, of Watsonville, 

 for the last five years a teacher in the 

 Morgan Hill high school. Mr C!oates 

 is 65 years old; his first wife died three 

 years ago, leaving him one son, Ronald, 

 25 years old, who is engaged in the nur- 

 sery business with his father. 



A. A. N.'S ANNIVERSAKY. 



Seven years ago the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen held its annual 

 meeting in Detroit. At the Cleveland 

 convention of 1914 Detroit was again 

 practically unanimously chosen for the 

 meeting of 1915. So much enthusiasm 

 was evinced in the discussion as to the 

 city in which this anniversary should 

 be celebrated that we consider our- 

 selves warranted in boosting the "City 

 Beautiful" in anticipation of June 23 

 to 25 next. It is great fun to be a 

 booster, because, after your energy has 

 been spent, such a delightful satisfac- 

 tion gets up under a man's vest as he 

 congratulates himself on his success, 

 always, of course, presuming that he 

 has boosted in a good cause. So let 

 us all assume the role of the booster 

 in one united effort to make this forti- 

 eth anniversary the most notable in the 

 association's history, notable in size of 

 membership, notable in attendance and 

 notable in all other ways that shall 

 build up the business of the legitimate 

 nurseryman. 



To this end let every man look after 

 the fellow who is not on the list. Pres- 

 ident Chase is on the warpath. He 

 has appointed a committee of seven 

 live men to boost the membership, with 

 Brother Will Munson, of Texas, as 

 chairman. Somethin' doin*.

sonal acquaintance of the manager of 

 the hotel, who has promised not only to 

 do his best to give satisfaction equal 

 to that felt seven years ago but to sur- 

 pass it as far as his capabilities will 

 permit. 



The entertainment mill is working, 

 and we shall shortly be able to take 

 members more fully into the commit- 

 tee's confidence. The program mill is 

 also grinding, and we suggest that 

 members write to Brother C. R. Burr, 

 Manchester, Conn., any thought they 

 may have that will be helpful to him. 



I shall be glad to give prompt atten- 

 tion to all inquiries regarding member- 

 ship, etc. 



Yours for a 1915 boom,
