The Florists' Review 



February 23, 1915. 



S. W, Call, probably the oldest active 

 nurseryman in Ohio, was killed Febru- 

 ary 22, while driving an automobile 

 across the tracks of the New York 

 Central at Perry, O. 



Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp- 

 shire, has introduced an amendment to 

 the agricultural appropriation bill to in- 

 crease the appropriation for the control 

 of diseases of forest and ornamental 

 trees and shrubs, etc., from $47,350 to 

 $69,510. 



HERETO^ORE Wm. Pfaender, Jr., has 

 superintended both the growing and sell- 

 ing of the stock at the Pioneer Nursery, 

 New Ulm, Minn., but as the business has 

 grown rapidly, he hSs secured an ex- 

 perienced sales manager to relieve him 

 of part of the burden. He plans to in- 

 corporate, and with additional capital, 

 expects to develop the business greatly. 



The California Mountain Fruit Co., 

 operating a large nursery and fruit ranch 

 a few miles east of Grass Valley, Cal., 

 has applied for permission to increase 

 its capital stock from $25,000 to $50,- 

 000, in order to be able to increase its 

 holdings. The company purchased its 

 present tract about two years ago. W. 

 M. Whitney is president and F. H. Bol- 

 ster is secretary. 



Part of the Attean territory, in Somer- 

 set county, Me., devastated by fire in 

 1908, will be replanted with white pine 

 next spring by the Coburn Lands, Inc., 

 under the direction of John C. Hutchison, 

 of Bangor. Only about fifty acres of 

 the 10,000 or 11,000 devastated will be 

 covered; the 50,000 white pine trees for 

 this tract will be obtained from the D. 

 Hill Nursery Co., Pundee, 111. 



PHOENIX SALE APPROVED. 



Overruling the motion of counsel for 

 the unsecured creditors to set aside the 

 sale of the real estate of the Phoenix

 page. Judge Myers entered an order of 

 the court February 15 approving the 

 sale of the property to B. S. Green, 

 trustee. Counsel representing Sidney 

 Tuttle, A. E. De Mange and the Phoenix 

 Nursery Co., unsecured creditors, stated 

 that the property had been sold for 

 about half its value and that if a larger 

 price could be obtained there would be 

 more surplus to divide among the un- 

 secured creditors. The secured credi- 

 tors stated that they were satisfied with 

 the sale as made and had no objection 

 to its confirmation. 



Leave was granted the objectors to 

 file additional affidavits as to the value 

 of the property. John Y. Chisholm, re- 

 ceiver, was orderetl to execute and de- 

 liver the deeds to the property, and 

 hold the money until a further order

and you can take your pick from 



the best that grow. Perennials 



add a feeling of permanency to your 



home surroundings. They change 



their plumage, but not their face, 



and keep reflecting the seasons all 



the year around. 



No grounds are really gardened without 

 a big showing in perennials. We are 

 hemdquarters for perennials, and assure 

 the widest latitude in choice as well as 

 the most courteous promptitude in cor- 

 respondence and service. Our motto— 



"Maximum Quality at Minimum Cost."
