The Florists' Review 



OGTOBia 8, 1914. 



Construction of the 2-story office 

 building, of concrete blocks, erected for 

 the Texas Nursery Co. at its plant at 

 Sherman, Tex., is completed. 



The organization of a nursery at 

 Wyndmere, Minn., is reported to be under 

 way. J. A. Mogren, of the firm of X A. 

 Mogren & Sons, proprietors of the Ken- 

 yon Nurseries, at Kenyon, Minn., is said 

 to be the prime mover in the enterprise. 



Incorporation papers have been issued 

 to the La Grange Nursery Co., of La 

 Grange, 111., to conduct a general flo- 

 rists', greenhouse and nursery business, 

 with a capital stock of $10,000. The in- 

 corporators are Henry Mehl, Peter E. 

 Evans and Albert Peterson. 



Another government nursery is being 

 planned at the Great Plains experimenttd 

 station, near Mandan, N. D. Free trees 

 to farmers will shortly- be as bad for the 

 nurseryman as free seeds are for the 

 seedsman. But while the latter is nearing 

 its end, the former practice is increasing. 



Fire destroyed the bam, wagon house 

 and two outbuildings at the Morrisville 

 Nurseries, Morrisville, Pa., September 25. 

 Lack of water prevented the firemen from 

 checking the blaze. These nurseries, for- 

 merly conducted by the late Samuel C. 

 Moon, are now operated by Miss Jane C. 

 Moon. 



Keorganization of the Naomi Nur- 

 series, Inc., of New Orleans, La., recent- 

 ly, led to the election of the following 

 officers: President, William J. Fomento; 

 vice-president, M. M. Jones; secretary- 

 treasurer, George H. Penn. Mr. Jones 

 made a success as local manager for Grif- 

 fing Bros. Co., of Jacksonville, Fla. 



HorticulturaIj inspection in the state 

 of Washington may meet with a hindrance 

 as the result of a recent decision of the 

 Supreme court of the state, upholding 

 the Yakima County Supreme court in re- 

 straining the county commissioners from 

 including in their 1914 budget $14,000 

 for inspection. The court held that the 

 law passed by the 1913 legislature cre- 

 ating the state department of agriculture 

 repealed the 1909 horticultural law. 



NEW YOBKBBS NEED NOT WOEEY. 



Since the passage of the workmen's 

 compensation law members of the trade 

 in the state of New York have been try- 

 ' ing to find out whether they would come 

 under the provisions of the act and be 

 compelled to take out insurance for 

 their employees. An opinion on this 

 subject which has been forwarded by 

 the commission to The Review will, 

 therefore, bring rest to their minds. 

 The nursery and florists' trades as a 

 whole are not hazardous occupations. 

 Only employees engaged in the occupa- 

 tions definitely listed in the act come 

 under the provisions of the law. A few 

 employees of nurserymen and florists, 

 such as drivers of trucks, boiler tenders, 

 mechanics and the like, must be pro- 

 vided for with insurance by their em- 

 ployers. But the larger number will not 

 be regarded as engaged in a hazardous 

 occupation. While the workmen's com- 



pensation commission has given no con- 

 crete and binding decision on this point, 

 yet F. A. Spencer, the secretary of the 

 commission, states as an informal ex- 

 pression of opinion that "nurserymen 

 and florists employ certain men who 

 would have to be insured, althbugh their 

 enterprises as a whole are probably not 

 covered by the act. Men driving teams, 

 operating boilers or electrical appliances 

 should be insured." 



OKLAHOMA ASSOCIATION MEETS. 



The Oklahoma Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion met at the Lee Huckins hotel, Ok- 

 lahoma City, September 22, with Presi- 

 dent Jim Parker in the chair. The re- 

 ports of the standing committees were 

 received and the committees continued. 

 Many topics of interest to the nursery- 

 men of the state were thoroughly dis- 

 cussed. Prof. C. E. Sanborn, state en- 

 tomologist, gave a most interesting talk. 

 By the unanimous vote of the members 

 present the old officers were continued. 

 They are: 



President — Jim Parker, of Tecumseh. 



Vice-president — Benjamin Davis, of 

 Tahlequah. 



Secretary — P. W. Vaught, of Holden- 

 ville. 



Legislative committee — Jim Parker, 

 of Tecumseh; J. A. Lopeman, of Enid, 

 and C. E. Garee, of Noble. 



The attendance at this meeting was 

 not what it should have been, but all 

 present were enthusiastic. Several new 

 members were added, and there was not 

 a calamity howler present.

good condition. The nurserymen were 

 influential in getting one of the best 

 nursery inspection laws of any state 

 in the United States passed by the last 

 legislature, and the entomological board 

 is satisfactory to all. The legislative 

 committee is on the watch for any pro- 

 posed bill that will be a detriment to 

 the nursery industry of the state and 

 has authority to call a special meeting 

 at any time it is deemed advisable. 



The next annual meeting will be hold 

 during the first days of the 1915 state 

 fair. 



STOCK FROM HOLI.AND. 



On the steamer Zyldyk, from Rotter- 

 dam, which arrived at the port of New 

 York September 28, were over 200 cases 

 of nursery stock from Holland. Maltus 

 & Ware received over half of it; their 

 consignments were fifty-six tubs of trees 

 and fifty -four cases of shrubs. The 

 other consignments, which all consisted 

 of shrubs, were twenty-six cases for 

 G. W. Sheldon & Co., eight cases for 

 Lunham & Moore and seventy-one cases 

 for the American Express Co. 



These amount to nearly a hundred 

 cases more stock than the receipts of 

 the previous week, as noted in last 

 week's Review. There seems to be little 

 doubt, therefore, that imports of nur- 

 sery stock for this season have started 

 to conve in good earnest, and that the
