The Florists^ Review 



April 1, 1915. 



The death of Howard E. Merrill, head 

 of the H. E. Merrill Nursery Co., of 

 Geneva, N. Y., is reported in this week's 

 obituary column. 



The death of John G. McReynolds, 

 for many years in the nursery business at 

 Cleveland, Tenn., is reported in this 

 week 's obituary. 



A BILL has been introduced in the 

 Massachusetts legislature to give the 

 nursery inspector power to inspect all 

 the fruit brought into that state. 



The New England Nurseries, Bedford, 

 Mass., sustained $500 loss March 27, 

 from a fire in the packing sheds that, for 

 a time, threatened to wipe out the entire 

 nursery. 



The planting of big orchards is not 

 progressing at the usual rate this season, 

 in the apple and peach sections, but in 

 the grain states the nurserymen are pick- 

 ing up an unusual number of orders. 



J. G. Harrison & Sons, Berlin, Md., 

 broke their record last week by shipping 

 fifty carloads of fruit and ornamental 

 nursery stock. The shipments were dis- 

 tributed over a wide area, taking in 

 nearly every fruit-growing state in the 

 Union. 



Incorpopiation papers have been is- 

 sued to the Nassau Nurseries, Inc., Great 

 Neck, N. Y. The capital stock is fixed 

 at $10,000. The officers are: President, 

 H. J. Maynard; vice-president, M. E. 

 Maynard; secretary and treasurer, W. E. 

 Maynard. 



Thb fiold snap has not injured the 

 Georgia peach crop, according to P. J. 

 A. Berckmans, Jr., of the Fruitland 

 Nurseries, Augusta. The steadiness of 

 the cold weather has been a benefit, al- 

 though the trees are about two weeks 

 behind last year. 



The citrus nurseries located about five 

 miles east of Bartow, Fla., have been 

 incorporated under the name of the Lake 

 Garfield Nurseries Co., by George R. 

 Johnston and Vet. L. Brown, of Bartow, 

 and Lillian P. McMillen, of Pittsburgh, 

 Pa. The capital stock is $25,000. 



The Texas commissioner of agriculture, 

 Fred A. Davis, has appointed as chief 

 inspector of nurseries, Ed. L. Ayers, for- 

 merly assistant entomologist of the 

 Texas department of agriculture and a 

 graduate of Texas A. & M. College and 

 Cornell University. He is 22 years old. 



The business men of Neosho, Mo., 

 about fifty in number, paid a visit to 

 the William P. Stark Nurseries March 

 19, to examine the various activities on 

 the 600 acres there. At the time, orders 

 were going out at the rate of 400 per 

 day, but the -number is expected to reach 

 1,000 when the season's height is 

 reached. 



SUCCESSOR TO PHOENIX CO. 



The Bloomington Nursery Co., of 

 Bloomington, III., has taken over the 

 business of the ])ankrupt Phoenix Nurs- 

 ery Co., of the same city, the affairs of

Receiver John Y. Chisholm. The his- 

 tory of these two concerns is closely 

 interwoven, both being, indeed, of the 

 same origin. In 1852 Franklin K. 

 Phoenix, of Wisconsin, purchased the 

 nursery of Robert Fell, at Bloomington. 

 In 1858 it covered eighty acres; ten 

 years later it had grown to 600 acres.

but in the hard times of 1877 it failed. 

 In that year John S. Tuttle and Alonzo 

 Follett purchased the Phoenix Nursery 

 Co. Six years later, when the Bloom- 

 ington Nursery Co. was incorporated as 

 a stock company, the two men sold their 

 concern to it. In 1885 Sidney Tuttle 

 and W. E. Rossney bought the nursery. 

 The Phoenix Nursery Co. was incor- 

 porated in 1887, with W. E. Rossney as 

 president; Sidney Tuttle, vice-president, 

 and George J. Foster, secretary. Grad- 

 ually Mr. Rossney acquired the stock 

 of the other two, and at the time of 

 the firm's bankruptcy, September, 1913,
