The Florists' Review 



Mabcb 4, 1915. 



Mississippi nurserymen are alarmed 

 at the appearance of the citrus canker. 

 It is said to have been found near Wig- 

 gins. 



Harold C. Black, a 1914 graduate of 

 the Massachusetts College of Agriculture, 

 has joined the staff of the Glenwood Nur- 

 series, Morrisville, Pa. 



Hard times? Not in the grain grow- 

 ing sections. Listen: "Our retail 

 sales for the week ending February 13 

 showed an increase of between eighty- 

 eight and ninety per cent over the same 

 week last year, while the wholesale de- 

 partment showed a gain of twenty-five 

 per cent. The wholesale department 

 also showed a much larger percentage of 

 cash orders." Lloyd C. Stark, vice- 

 president of Stark Bros. Nurseries & 

 Orchards Co., Louisiana, Mo., said that. 



Preferred stock is being sold in what 

 will be the Pioneer Nursery Co., of New 

 TJlm, Minn. The plan is to capitalize for 

 $50,000, all except $12,000 of which will 

 be common stock, of which a majority 

 will be held by Wm. Pfaender, Jr. The 

 preferred stock will be a first lien upon 

 the growing stock, which is at the present 

 time valued at $12,000, and the property, 

 including forty acres of land and the 

 buildings upon them, valued at about 

 $30,000. Oscar Bierbauer, formerly of 

 Mankato, Minn., is in charge of the 

 agents' department of the concern. 



Inasmuch as "a multitude of dire 

 calamities — the war, business inactivity, 

 the low price of cotton, etc. — have fallen 

 upon the Texas nurserymen, preventing 

 their usual volume of sales, and leaving 

 unsold many thousand valuable trees, 

 vines and plants," E. W. Kirkpatrick, 

 for many years in the nursery business 

 at Sherman and McKinney, Tex., and 

 now president of the Texas Industrial 

 Congress, believes, according to a letter 

 of his in the public press of Texas, that 

 an appeal from the schools, clubs and 

 civic authorities for stock that would 

 otherwise go up in smoke, would meet 

 with a generous response by nurserymen 

 of the state. Let the public pay the 

 necessary expense, he says, and the 

 nurserymen furnish the stock, and the 

 two together make Texas a land of trees. 

 Something of the kind may be done by 

 nurserymen in other sections in their 

 effort to utilize the silver lining of the 

 cloud. 



RESHIPMENT NOTICE BEQX7ISED. 



According to a notice of the Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, a number of no- 

 tices of shipments of imported nursery 

 stock returned to the oflHee of the Fed- 

 eral Horticultural Board by state in- 

 spectors bear a notation to the effect 

 that the stock was reshipped to some 

 other state prior to inspection and that 

 the state inspector concerned was so 

 notified, such notice apparently being 

 given by the inspector who called to 

 examine the goods. It is the duty, un- 

 der the law, of persons making such 

 reshipments, to notify prior to such 

 shipments both the Department of Agri- 

 culture and the state inspector of the

 their plumage, but not their face, 

 and keep reflecting the seasons all 

 the year around. 



No grounds are really gariiened without
