The Florists' Review 



Habch 25, 1910. 



R. C. Mekeray, the old-time nuraery- 

 man of Council Bluffs, la., has gone into 

 business for himself. He is doing busi- 

 ness at his residence, 208 Stutsman 

 street, Council Bluffs. 



On the entertainment committee which 

 is to give a good time to the members 

 of the Florida Horticultural Society at 

 its annual meeting, in Tampa, April 14 

 to 16, is Collins Gillett, of the Buckeye 

 Nurseries, Tampa. 



The tract recently reported in this 

 column as being sold by W. A. Peterson, 

 proprietor of Peterson's Nursery, is now 

 being put on the market by the sub- 

 dividers as Peterson Woods addition to 

 Chicago. The tract of seventy-eight 

 acres, which adjoined Peterson Nursery, 

 is reported to have brought the nursery- 

 man $160,000. 



PHOENIX ACCOUNTS CI.OSED. 



" The court has ordered a distribution 

 of the assets of the Phoenix Nursery 

 Co., and Eeceiver John Y. Chisholm has 

 sent checks to the creditors for about 

 one-fifth of their claims. The real 

 estate sold for $28,000, and the mort- 



fage on the land amounted to over 

 45,000. After paying all expenses and 

 costs, there remained $11,095.68, and 

 unpaid claims of $56,852.26, making 

 possible a distribution of 19.51 per cent. 



ELIZABETH NURSERY HAS FIRE. 



Fire of unknown origin destroyed the 

 packing sheds and two storage ware- 

 houses of the Elizabeth Nursery Co., 

 Elizabeth, N. J., during the night of 

 March 20. The loss is estimated at 

 from $25,000 to $30,000. The reflec- 

 tion of the fire could be seen for many 

 miles around and attracted a large 

 crowd. Marzella Gerada, the night 

 watchman, discovered the fire in one 

 of the warehouses and sent in an alarm. 

 When it was seen that the Saybrook fire 

 department was unable to stay the prog- 

 ress of the fire, assistance was asked 

 from Elizabeth. A quantity of mate- 

 rials and stock stored in the warehouses 

 was lost. It was thought for a time 

 that the greenhouses might be destroyed 

 and when it was seen that the other 

 buildings were doomed attention was 

 directed to these. The wind favored 

 the firemen or these, too, might have 

 been burned. Some valuable trees that 

 were planted near the warehouses were 

 so badly scorched that they will prob- 

 ably die. The general manager of the 

 nursery, E. Eunyon, was asked to re- 

 turn home at once in a cablegram sent 

 to him in Cuba, where he is at present. 

 An investigation into the cause of the 

 fire will be made by the police.

STOCKHOLDERS MUST PAY. 



A contest, begun in 1909, over the 

 double liability of stockholders under 

 the old Ohio law was ended when the 

 Ohio Supreme court March 9 upheld 

 the decision of Judge O. S. Brown, for- 

 merly on the bench of the Montgomery 

 County Court of Common Pleas, in the

case of J. H. Billman and other stock- 

 holders of the Albaugh Nursery Co., of 

 Dayton, vs. the Fourth .National . Bank 

 of Dayton. Six years ago the bank ob- 

 tained a judgment on notes amounting 

 to over $23,000, and there were about 

 $15,0G0 in claims of other creditors at 

 the time the nursery company failed. 

 Ten lawyers presented the case of their 

 respective sides when the case came 

 up for trial in .1909, the bank holding 

 that the stockholders were liable, under 

 the old double liability law, for an 

 amount equal to their investment, and 

 the stockholders maintaining that the 

 law was no longer in effect. The trial 

 court decided that, inasmuch as the 

 judgmeBt was given prior to 1903, when 

 the double liability amendment went 

 into effect, the stockholder's were liable.
