 President, H. B. Chase, Obase, Ala.; Vice- 



£ resident, E. S. Welch, Shenandoah, la.; Secre-

Fortieth annual meeting, Detroit, Mich., June 

 28 to 25. 1915. 



The executrix of the estate of Hiram 

 T. Jones, Elizabeth, N. J., offers the 

 Union County Nurseries for sale as a 

 going concern, with or without the real 

 estate. If not so disposed of July 15, 

 some other action will follow. 



The business of Clarence H. Weeks, 

 at Lyons, N. Y,, has been incorporated 

 as the C. H. Weeks Nursery Co., with 

 a capital stock of $15,000. The incor- 

 porators are Clarence H. Weeks and Ma- 

 bel G. Weeks, of Lyons, and Frank N. 

 Greenlaw, of Newark. 



Incorporation papers have been is- 

 sued to the Dansville 5 and 10-cent Nur- 

 series, Dansville, N. Y., permitting the 

 concern to deal in nursery trees and 

 stock. The capital stock is $10,000, and 

 the incorporators are F. E., W. J. and 

 A. E. Maloney, all of Dansville. 



The loss from the fire which destroyed 

 the big packing shed of the Clinton Falls 

 Nursery Co., at Owatonna, Minn., last 

 weik, is &aid to exceed $30,000. The 

 shed cost $28,000, and there was much 

 stock in the building at the time of the 

 fire. Most of the loss is covered by in- 

 surance. 



After tliirty years' occupation of the 

 I)resent quarters, at East avenue and 

 Pitkin street, Chase Bros. Co., Rochester, 

 N. Y., Avill move to the sixth floor of the 

 Warner building, on St. Paul street, 

 near East Main street. Neeil of addi- 

 tional space required the removal. In its 

 new quarters the company will have 7,000 

 feet of floor space, compared with 5,500 

 feet in the old building. 



According to W. H. Kessler, manager 

 of the Elniwood Nurseries & Green- 

 houses, at Birmingham, Ala., last winter 

 was without precedent in its destruction 

 of ornamentiii evergreen shrubs. Vari- 

 eties that had not been known to be in- 

 jured before, suffered badly and were 

 even killed outright. Among them were 

 Ligustrum Japonicum, L. aureo-margin- 

 atuni, L. Nepalense, Buxus sempervirens, 

 Prunus Lauroeerasus and Euonymus 

 Japonicus. The reason is thought to bo 

 that the shrul s were kept in growing con- 

 dition until quite late, and then were 

 subjected to a great drop in tempera- 

 ture. 



NURSERYMEN AND THE WAR. 



An Importer's View. 



Replying to your letter of June 5, we 

 do not think that the entrance of Italy 

 into the European war will have the 

 slightest effect on the production of 

 f>ench fruit stocks; all of the fruit 

 seeds are j)roduced in France. Some 

 Myrobalan seeds have been imported 

 from Italy into France, but the French 

 nurserymen are not dependent upon the 

 Italian seeds, even of Myrobalans. Be- 

 sides, as Italy is fighting with France, 

 there will be no interruption in com- 

 merce between the two nations. 



The crop of fruit seedlings that will 

 leave France next winter is already 

 growing in France, and even if Italy 

 were fighting on \\he side of the Ger- 

 mans, and commerce was entirely

stopped between Italy and France, it 

 would not in any way affect the French 

 production of fruit stocks. 



The two most important subjects 

 now before the nurserymen and florists 

 are: 



1. The embargo placed by the British 

 authorities on Belgian shipments, 

 which will prevent fall shipments of 

 azaleas, etc., being made from Belgium 

 unless the embargo is lifted before fall. 



2. The policy of the Federal Horti- 

 cultural Board under the Department 

 of Agriculture at Washington continu- 

 ing to add items of nursery stock to 

 the list of those under quarantine. The 

 nurserymen and florists of the United 

 States have enough to contend with 

 these days, and we should look to our 

 government for encouragement and 

 help, instead of legitimate trade being

NURSERYMAN'S BARGAIN SALE. 



The owner of a nursery in an east- 

 ern state took a suggestion from the 

 department stores and was able thereby 

 to add considerably to his bank ac- 

 count. A section of his nursery had 

 been sold for division into building lots, 

 but the purchaser gave the nurseryman 

 a vear's use of the land before active
