 is developing rapidly. 



The Illinois State Horticultural So- 

 ciety will hold its third annual summer

The Brand Nursery Co., of Faribault,

0. Qt. CTJBTIS INCOEPORATES. 



The nursery business of Chas. G. 

 Curtis, at Callicoon, N. Y., since July 1 

 has been known as the Chas. G. Curtis 

 Co., having incorporated witli a capital 

 stock of $10,000. Mr. Curtis has for 

 the last fourteen years conducted a 

 successful business in collecting and 

 growing native plants and trees, mak- 

 ing a specialty of Rhododendron maxi- 

 mum. The business has been increasing 

 rapidly for several years. 



A new member of the firm is Miss 

 Elizabeth Metzger, who has been in 

 Mr. Curtis 's office for several years. 



The purpose of the new company is 

 to enlarge the business. One of the 

 main objects is to transplant and grow 

 native plants and trees for the whole- 

 sale trade; it will also handle all classes 

 of nursery stock, including bulbs, for- 

 eign and domestic. The company is 

 erecting a large office building on 

 Bridge street, with yard -and packing 

 shed at the west end of the building. 



LOW PRICES. 



Who Is Responsible for Them? 



In his address on, "Deal Direct— the 

 Catalogue Way," at the A. A. N. con- 

 vention at Detroit, W. J. Maloney, sec- 

 retary and treasurer of Maloney Bros. 

 & Wells Co., Dansville, N. Y,, touched 

 upon a question that every nurseryman 

 has given much thought to, the cause 

 of low prices for nursery stock. There 

 are many sides to the subject, and The 

 Review would be glad to have its read- 

 ers present their views, no matter 

 which of the many sides they deal with. 

 Mr. Maloney 's statements in this re- 

 gard were: 



"It is said many of our brother nurs- 

 erymen engaged in the agency business 

 are antagonistic to the mail order 

 houses. If so,- is it simply because we 

 sell direct by mail to the >, consumer 

 and are doing a legitimate business, or 

 because of cut rate pricest I think 

 the latter. If the formeji;, I personally
