The Florists' Review 



AD008T,e, 1914. 



The annual meeting of the Idaho 

 Nurserymen's Association has been post- 

 poned until the time of the meeting of 

 the state legislature next winter. 



California nurserymen are to have a 

 first-rate convention this year, if early 

 preparations mean anything. President 

 D. W. Coolidge, of Pasadena, and Secre- 

 tary Henry W. Kruckeberg, of Los An- 

 geles, met a number of San Diego 

 nurserymen at the U. S. Grant hotel in 

 their city last week, to start the ball 

 rolling. The fourth annual convention 

 of the association will be held in San 

 Diego October 14 and 15, and a live 

 meeting is expected. 



For a purpose not divulged, publicity 

 is being given the value of English wal- 

 nut trees for commercial orchards by 

 HoUister Sage, of Waterbury, Conn. He 

 believes that of the 50,000,000 pounds 

 of these nuts annually consumed by the 

 United States the large proportion which 

 is now imported might be grown in the 

 northern states of this country. Cali- 

 fornia, he states, grows about 24,000,000 

 pounds a year. In connection with this 

 subject the success of E. C. Pomeroy, 

 son of Norman Pomeroy, the Lockport, 

 N. Y., nurseryman, is referred to. 



A BILL providing a place for a practical 

 nurseryman on the state board of ento- 

 mology is before the senate of the Georgia 

 legislature and has received the recom- 

 mendation of the committee on agricul- 

 ture. At present the presidents of the 

 state horticultural and agricultural so- 

 cieties are ez-officio members of the 

 board; by this bill, when the terms of 

 the two present incumbents expire, four 

 and six years from now, the governor 

 is to appoint a nurseryman and a farmer 

 to their places. The present members, 

 presidents of the societies, are J. 0. 

 Wade, of Cornelia, and J. T. Williams, 

 of Bed Oak. 



In connection with its landscape and 

 nursery business, the La Grange Nursery 

 Co., of La Grange, 111., proposes to con- 

 duct a general greenhouse business and 

 has purchased the range of C. W. North- 

 rup, which will be moved to the com- 

 pany's grounds on North Brainard ave- 

 nue. The La Grange Nursery Co. has 

 met with such success since it was started 

 by Henry Mehl two years ago that the 

 proprietor's father-in-law, Julius West- 

 phal, of Chicago, is to join him in en- 

 larging the facilities of the concern and 

 will move to La Grange. Carl L. Sewell, 

 for many years with the Harrison 

 nurseries, at York, Neb., will come to 

 La Grange to act as general manager and 

 superintendent of both the greenhouses 

 and nursery.

FROZEN AFTER PURCHASE. 



Was Buyer or Seller the Loser? 



A contract to sell and "to deliver to 

 party of the second part, in a sound 

 and healthy condition, such and all 

 [orange] trees now growing in our nurs- 

 ery rows, and hereinafter described," 

 at 30 cents per tree, was recently con- 

 strued by the Texas Court of Civil Ap- 

 peals, in the case of Alsworth vs. Rep- 

 pert, 167 Southwestern Reporter, 1098, 

 not to make the buyer liable for the 

 price of trees which were frozen before 

 they were dug by him. The seller 

 claimed that the buyer must bear the 

 loss, on the theory that title to the j 

 trees passed when the contract of sale 

 was made, but the Court of Civil Ap- 

 peals said: 



' ' The instrument is headed ' Purchase 

 Contract,' and is referred to as a 'con- 

 tract and sale.' It does not recite that 

 the appellants have sold the trees to 

 appellees, but that appellants agree to 

 deliver them in a sound and healthy

CAUFORNIA PRIVET HEDGDIG 



For the comin^f Autumn and next Spring's sales 



I have to offer over a half million California Privet, consisting of two 

 years old in l^ij to 2 feet, 2 to 3 feet and 3 to 4 feet; three years in .3 

 to 4 feet, and one year in 12 to 18 inches and 1^ to 2 feet grades. The 

 two and three year grades were carefully cut back the past Spring, are 

 well branched and strictly first-class. 



I am prepared to offer exceedingly attractive prices, especially in car- 

 load lots. 



Being the introducer of the California Privet as a hedge plant away 

 back in the early seventies, it is perhaps not claiming too much to say I 

 am headquarters for it.
