Thf Florists^ Review 



June 3. 1915. 



Nurserymen in Tennessee in general 

 report that things cleaned up more 

 closely than they had any expectation 

 of and that there was little of value to 

 go to the brush heap. In fact, there 

 was a real shor);age in some lines. 



The Pacific Coast Association of 

 Nurserymen and the California Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen will hold their joint 

 convention at San Francisco August 12 

 to 14. August 16 has been designated 

 as Nurserymen's day at the Panama- 

 Pacific exposition. 



E. P. Bryan, of the Bound Brook 

 Nurseries, Bound Brook, N. J., reports 

 that there has been a good sale of orna- 

 mental trees and shrubs this spring. 

 There has also been a large demand for 

 peach trees. The demand for apple 

 trees has not been quite so large as it 

 often is in the spring. 



According to the figures of the U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, imports of 

 nursery stock for the year ending June 

 30, 1914, showed an increase of over ten 

 per cent over the previous year. The 

 value of the imports for the fiscal years 

 1912, 1913 and 1914 are, respectively, 

 $1,251,365, $1,379,913 and $1,514,669. 



More than 400 motor cars were parked 

 near the peony farm of the Wild Bros. 

 Nursery Co., at Sarcoxie, Mo., on a re- 

 cent Sunday. Fifty acres of peonies in 

 bloom attracted visitors by the hundred. 

 The necessity of gathering the peony 

 and the strawberry crops at the same 

 time keeps the large force of this com- 

 pany on the jump. 



It seems a general thing this year that 

 surplus stock is being used for advertis- 

 ing purposes instead of for making bon- 

 fires. Nurserymen are coming to under- 

 stand that the recipients of the stock, no 

 matter in which of many various ways 

 it is distributed, are not those who would 

 otherwise be customers, but perhaps may 

 become such. They see that they are 

 not only not losing any profits this year, 

 but maybe paving the way for additional 

 ones another season. 



W. H. FoRRiSTEL, manager of the 

 Belleview Avenue Nursery Co., Plainfield, 

 N. J., who was obliged to sell the nurs- 

 eries a year ago last January because of 

 il! health, has so far recovered by a com- 

 plete rest from business cares for more 

 than a year that he has repurchased the 

 nurseries and is doing business as usual 

 at the place which he has occupied since 

 1892, with the exception of the period 

 of enforc(-(l absence during which he has 

 been recovering his health. 



The Cherry Hill nurseries of T. C. 

 Tliurlow's Sons, Inc., at West Newbury, 

 Mass., were the subject of a special ar- 

 ticle in the Newburyport News for May 

 14. The nurseries now contain 400 acres 

 and were established eighty-three years 

 ago by George Thurlow, the father of 

 Thomas C. Thurlow. The present mem- 

 bers of the company are George C. Thur- 

 low, president: Winthrop H. Thurlow, 

 treasurer; their mother, Mrs. Sarah 

 Thurlow; a sister, Susan, and a brother, 

 Edward, who is a clergvman and now in 

 China.

NEW YORK AMENDS LAW. 



In an amendment to the agricultural 

 law of 1909 passed by the last New 

 York legislature, provision is made for 

 the recovery of damages for fruit 

 trees which prove untrue to name as 

 specified on the label. Such recovery 

 may be made in civil action by the 

 purchaser at any time before the third 

 bearing year. In an action to recover 

 such damages, the burden of proof 

 that the buyer agreed to a contract 

 exempting the seller from liability rests 

 on the seller. 



In selling Jots of twenty-five trees or 

 more, the nurseryman must accompany 

 the shipment with an itemized list, 

 including much detailed information if 

 the buyer makes a written request for 



it. The buyer must notify the seller 

 within five days of receipt of any dis- 

 crepancy between the list and the 

 labels. 



In short, the law encumbers the sale 

 of fruit trees with some red tape. This 

 makes more work for the nurseryman, 

 but at the same time, if he adheres 

 to the formalities of the law, it will 

 serve to protect him from possible dam- 

 age suits. The amended section, 

 No. 264, of the law now reads as 

 follows : 



Damages accruing from sale of trees. 

 Nothing contained in section 263 or 

 any other section of this chapter shall 

 be construed to deprive a purchaser of 

 any fruit-bearing tree of his remedy 

 at law in a civil action to recover dam- 

 ages sustained by reason of such trees 

 proving untrue to name as specified on 

 the label. Such damages may be re- 

 covered in a civil action by the pur- 

 chaser of such fruit-bearing trees or by 

 his personal representative or assijgnee 

 at any time prior to the third bearing 

 year, provided the purchaser notifies 

 the seller as soon as he has reason to 

 believe that such trees are not true to 

 name. In any action to recover dam-
