ENGLAND STILL BUSY. 



A large English house, disproving 

 the assertion that war is putting an 

 end to business in the nursery trade, 

 has sent the following letter to a num- 

 I ber of American firms, under date of 

 August 27: 



''For many years there has been a 

 large importation of roses from Ger- 

 many, France and Belgium, and owing 

 ;to the war these sources of supply will, 

 tbe shut to American buyers. We ven- 

 ;ture the assertion that it is England's 

 opportunity to offer a far superior and 

 hardier rose to our American cousins. 

 "Tell us the names and quantities 

 •of roses you are wanting and we will 

 give you low prices for same. You will 

 probably want us to send about mid- 

 March, in which case we shall be happy 

 to reserve you first selected trees, and 

 ' to enter forward to supply. ' ' 



PHOENIX BECEIVEB BEPOBT8. 



John Y. Chisholm, receiver for the 

 Phoenix Nursery Co., of Bloomington, 

 ni., has issued a statement showing 

 receipts and disbursements from Sep- 

 tember 10, 1913, to August 25, 1914, the 

 estimated assets of the concern now on 

 hand and the liabilities under the re- 

 ceivership yet unpaid. 



In summary the report shows: Cash 

 receipts from all sources, $56,441.60; 

 caqh disbar«ements, $43,677.15; cash on 

 hand, $12,7d4.45. 



The totkl assets, which include nur- 

 sery stock, greenhouse stock, horses, 

 ■ules, harness, implements^ corn in 

 field, ofiee fixtures, rent, biUs receiv- 

 able, accounts receivable and cash in, 

 bask, are $36,249.59. The largest item; 

 i» the nursery stock on hand, the valuei 



of which is estimated at the lowest 

 wholesale price to be $18,304.60. The 

 total liabilities are $14,970.31. The net 

 assets over liabilities are $21,279.31. 



In addition to the above net assets, 

 the company owns about sixty-seven 

 acres of land, all lying within the cor- 

 porate limits of the town of Normal, 

 appraised at from $350 to $1,000 per 

 acre, according to the location. The 

 report further shows that the company 

 has a complete equipment of buildings, 

 in fair condition, including packing 

 sheds, frost-proof cellars, barns, offices, 

 machine sheds and nine greenhouses, 

 three of which are 30x225 feet. 



The report shows that in additional 

 liabilities the company will have be- 

 tween $57,000 and $60,000 in claims, 

 there still being a few claims to hear 

 before the special master before the 

 exact amount can be ascertained. 



As the report of Receiver Chisholm 

 last January showed the cash receipts 

 to be $16,376.24 and the total cash dis- 

 bursements $16,068.43, leaving $307.81 

 as the cash on hand at that time, it 

 will readily be seen that the presept 

 showing is the result of the sp/ing sales 

 of nursery stock. 



WHO MUST BEAB THE LOSS? 



If Shipments Are Ordered Destroyed. 



When a shipment of trees, plants, 

 decorative foliage or other stock of a 



nurseryman or florist is destroyetl hy 

 public authorities, who must bear the 

 loss, as between the seller and the buy 

 er? For example, California ha? aa 

 extremely strict horticultural law. Un 

 der it the state authorities immediately 

 destroy such stock when it is fouMj to 

 be infested with certain injurious dis 

 eases or insects. On the other liaud, 

 other states have laws which prohibit 

 a railway company or other common 

 carrier accepting for transportation any 

 shipments of trees or plants whicli do 

 ndt bear a copy of such states' ceitifi 

 cates of inspection, showing that the 

 stock is free from insects and diseases. 

 It frequently has happened that a ship 

 ment would be destroyed by the Call 

 fornia authorities when it bore the cer 

 tificate of some other state showing it 

 to be free from infestation. Then re 

 suits a legal complication. ■ The ques
