The Florists^ Review 



Sbptembeb 3, 1911. 



A LARGE frost-proof house for tree stor- 

 age, 60x80 feet, is being erected by George 

 D. McKisson, proprietor of the Fair- 

 mont Nursery, at Fairmont, Minn. 



F. T. Bamsay, of the Austin Nursery, 

 Austin, Tex., was one of the speakers be- 

 fore the Texas Dry Farming Congress at 

 its meeting at Hondo, August 20. His 

 subject was "Horticulture: Figs and 

 Pecans. ' ' 



Latest figures give the number of 

 licensed nurserymen and dealers in the 

 state of Wisconsin as 200. This includes 

 growers of small fruits and of orchard 

 and ornamental trees, and their nurser- 

 ies range in size from one-quarter of an 

 acre to eighty acres. Fifty outside nur- 

 series, located in ten other states, have 

 licenses to sell stock in the state. 



The dependence of the nursery trade 

 of this country upon the warring nations 

 of Europe is shown by the fact that out 

 of 3,779,041 growing trees imported in 

 one year, 1,782,255 came from France 

 and 849,245 from Germany. Of the four- 

 teen other countries from which nursery 

 stock was imported, the only one which 

 sent a considerable quantity, compara- 

 tively speaking, was Holland, whose ship- 

 ments here numbered 690,632. The 

 greater part of the tree seeds which this 

 country imports come from Germany and 

 amount to several tons. 



SOUTHERN ASSOCIATION MEETS. 



Seventeenth Annual Convention. 



Although a great deal of work and 

 pleasure was crowded into the two 

 days of this year's meeting, making 

 the convention a most enjoyable and 

 profitable one, it was decided at the 

 seventeenth annual meeting of the 

 Southern Nurserymen's Association, at 

 Chattanooga, last week to devote three 

 days to the program next year. The 

 place selected for the 1915 convention 

 is Hendersonville, N. C, and the dates 

 are August 26 to 28. The officers chosen 

 for the coming year were the following: 



President — Milton Moss, of Hunts- 

 ville, Ala. 



Vice-president — Kay Simpson, of 

 Monticello, Fla. 



Secretary-treasurer — A. I. Smith, of 

 Knoxville, Tenn., reelected. 



The election took place Thursday aft- 

 ernoon, August 27, on the steamer 

 Chattanooga, on which the fifty mem- 

 bers of the association who were pres- 

 ent took a boat ride up the river to 

 the lock and dam. The previous ses-

sions took place at the Signal Mountain 

 Inn, an excellent meeting place, about 

 thirty minutes' car ride from the city 

 of Chattanooga. 



Interesting Program. 



The program included a number of 

 interesting papers, which led to discus- 

 sion on the part of those present, and 

 proved to be quite profitable. W. T. 

 Hood, of Richmond, Va., who was down 

 for an address on "The Nursery Busi- 

 ness of the Present Compared to the 

 Past," was kept at home by the pres- 

 sure of business and could not deliver • 

 his paper. The program in full was as
