Fortieth annual meeting. Detroit, Micb.. June 

 28 to 26, 1816. _^_^^ 



This week's obituary column contains 

 a report of the death of Henry J. Weber, 

 founder of the H. J. Weber & Sons Nur- 

 sery Co., of Nursery and St. Louis, Mo. 



The report of the petition in bank- 

 ruptcy of Thomas Cash, of San Diego, 

 Cal., will be found in this week's issue 

 of The Review under the head of Busi- 

 ness Embarrassments. ' 



O. A. Miller, formerly at Calgary, 

 Alberta, has moved to Bismarck, N. D., 

 to look after the interests of the North- 

 west Nursery Co., of Valley City, N. D., 

 in that section of the state. 



Despite the precautionary measures 

 taken, the stock at the nurseries of the 

 Storrs & Harrison Co., at Painesville, O., 

 was badly hit by the frost of May 27, 

 Strawberry plants and perennials were 

 chiefly aflfected. 



The German army did not penetrate 

 far enough into France to affect the 

 fruit tree seedling business in the Ussy 

 and Angers districts, but the entrance 

 of Italy into the general conflict may 

 hinder the gathering of the cherry, plum 

 and pear seeds that the French nursery- 

 men obtain from the mountains of that 

 country. 



The nursery business started by Wil- 

 liam Hulscher, on Front street, Scotch 

 Plains, N. J., near Plainfield, a year 

 ago was organized early this spring as 

 the Plainfield Nursery Co. Mr. Hul- 

 scher 's partner is William DeBree, of 

 East Rutherford, N. J., who was for- 

 merly with Bobhink & Atkins, of Ruther- 

 lord. A large quantity of nursery stock 

 of all kinds was started early in the 

 spring and is now in fine condition. The 

 location of the new nursery is conve- 

 nient to a number of good-sized cities 

 and only about twenty miles from New 

 York. The land lies well, and the pro- 

 prietors look for a big business as soon 

 as their new stock has had opportunity 

 to develop properly.

Besides making the program of the 

 Detroit convention of the American 

 Association of Nurserymen, June 23 to 

 25, entertaining and instructive, the en- 

 tertainment committee has arranged it 

 well. The distinctively pleasure features 

 are distributed so that one occurs on 

 the afternoon of each day, providing 

 relaxation after the morning's serious 

 consideration of the problems of the 

 trade and preparing thus for equally 

 earnest deliberation the next forenoon. 

 The first morning is given over to offi- 

 cers' addresses and committee reports; 

 the other two mornings are filled by 

 addresses on a number of timely mat- 

 ters. The parks of Detroit, the Ford 

 Motor Co. works and a steamboat ride 

 on the Detroit river and Lake St. Clair 

 are planned for the three afternoons in 

 the order named. The American Nurs- 

 erymen's Protective Association and 

 the American Retail Nurserypien 's Pro- 

 tective Association will meet on the 

 evenings of June 2? and 34 respectively.
