The Florists' Review 



Fbbbdabz 18, 1915. 



The obituary column this week con- 

 tains a notice of the death of William 

 Smith, for fifty-five years in the nursery 

 business at Pittsburgh. 



From; Vacaville, Cal., it is reported 

 that C. J. Uhl and C. R. McBride have 

 formed a partnership for the purpose of 

 carrying on a nursery business. 



J. S. Kerr, of Sherman, heads a com- 

 mittee of Texas nurserymen that is 

 assisting the state commission in main- 

 taining a horticultural exhibit at the 

 San Francisco exposition. 



Nurserymen are hoping, for an early 

 pad prolonged season. As a rule the 

 nurabier of orders on hand is not so great 

 as usual, but there will be a good show- 

 ing if the season is not too short. 



In a circular letter to creditors the 

 executrix of the Hiram T. Jones estate, 

 Elizabeth, N. J., states that it is hoped 

 enitentually to pay fifty per cent or more 

 on the claims. Creditors are offered the 

 immediate opportunity to take one-fourth 

 their claims in nursery stock. 



The Vermilion Parish Nursery & Or- 

 chard Co., capitalized at $25,000, has 

 been organized at Abbeville, La. R. J. 

 Montagne is the president of the com- 

 pany, John Nugier, Jr., treasurer, and 

 J. Camille Broussard, secretary. The 

 company has purchased 100 acres and 

 will plant 20,000 Satsuma orange trees 

 and thirty acres as a nursery. 



Mark Aukeman has resigned his posi- 

 tion as foreman of Schneider's Green- 

 houses, at Springfield, O., and is starting 

 in the landscape gardening business, with 

 a temporary office and salesgrounds at 

 the comer of Pleasant and Limestone 

 streets. He is a native of Holland, 24 

 years old, and has been in the landscape 

 gardening business since he was 12, in 

 Holland -and Germany. He came tb 

 the United States in 1912. 



That seventy-five nurserymen and 

 growers have signified their intention of 

 complying with a more rigid inspection 

 of nursery stock, and that from 2,000 to 

 120,000 trees are being inspected daily, 

 are two important features of the report 

 of Horticultural Inspector Fred P. Roul- 

 lard made to the supervisors of Fresno 

 county, California. During the preced- 

 ing month 2,386 shipments were made 

 from the county, while only 101 ship- 

 ments of trees were imported. Most of 

 these were deciduous stock from Oregon 

 and Washington. A few cases came 

 from Angers, France. 



HASEISONS' NEW COMPANIES. 



The interests in the Harrison nurser- 

 ies at Berlin, Md., are adding to their 

 orchard investments and have just in- 

 corporated two Delaware companies for 

 that purpose. In each case the incor- 

 porators are Orlando Harrison and 

 George A. Harrison, of Berlin, and John 

 G. Townsend, of Shelbyville, Del. The 

 Eedlands Orchards Co., capital $100,000, 

 and the Riverside Orchards Co., capital 

 $5C,000, are the titles. The head offices 

 are to be at Berlin. The former is 

 licensed to "grow, cultivate and deal
