There is a strong demand for privet 

 this fall; at least, Review advertisers 

 find it so. 



George Wirt is erecting a large pack- 

 ing and storage house at his nursery, 

 at Alpha, 111, 



Texas headquarters will be established 

 at Port" Arthur by the Griffing Bros. Co., 

 of Jacksonville and Macclenny, Fla. 



Notice of the death of James Jeffrey, 

 of Kalamazoo, Mich., said to be the old- 

 est member of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen, appears in this week 's 

 obituary column. 



Preparations for fall shipments and 

 removal to a new office, coming both at 

 the same time, are keeping the entire 

 force of the Texas Nursery Co., at Sher- 

 man, Tex., on the jump. 



The Wade Nursery Co., of New 

 Rochelle, N. Y., has filed incorporation 

 papers. The capital stock is $2,500 and 

 the directors are Thomas J. Wade and 

 Susanna Wade, of New Rochelle, and 

 Joseph J. Taylor, of Pelham. 



Kansas and Oklahoma stock is in 

 first-class shape this year, according to 

 W. F. Schell, for thirty years in busi- 

 ness at Wichita, Kan. The abundance 

 of moisture has been conducive to the 

 production of the best stock in all lines. 



MEET AT FORT WOETH, 



Annual Meeting of Texas Nurserjrmen. 



The fourteenth annual meeting of the 

 Texas Nurserymen's Association was 

 held at Fort Worth October 14 and 15 

 in the Chamber of Commerce building. 

 The officers elected for the ensiling year 

 were as follows: 



\ President — Will B. Muuson, of Deni- 

 son. 



Vice-president — J. M. Ramsey, of 

 Austin. 



Secretary-treasurer — H. I. Martin, of 

 Port Arthur. 



Publicity the Topic. 



The most engrossing topic of the meet- 

 ing was that of publicity. In his open- 

 ing address President John S. Kerr de- 

 clared the need of publicity work by, or 

 on behalf of the nurserymen to counter- 

 act the erroneous statements of the 

 public press in regard to business condi- 

 tions and prospects. His opinion that 

 there was no cause for anxiety on the 

 part of nurserymen in regard to the 

 business outlook was strengthened by 

 those of a number of other speakers. 

 The subject, "The Value of a Publicity 

 Organization in the Education of the 

 People in the Work of the Nurserymen, ' ' 

 was treated by J. M. Ramsey, of Austin, 

 and a paper on the subject was sent by 

 H. E. Hall, of Sherman, who was kept 

 at home by the pressure of business. 

 Mr. Ramsey concluded his address with 

 a motion for the appointment of a com- 

 mittee to take charge of the publicity 

 work of the association. The motion 

 was carried, but it was decided to await 

 the installation of the new officers before 

 making appointments.

The view of the business outlook held 

 by those present was an optimistic one. 

 H. I. Martin declared there is more 

 money in southern banks at the present 

 time than ever before. L. J. Tackett 

 quoted prominent bankers to the effect 

 th,at with a bumper grain crop and an 

 average cotton crop business is bound 

 to pick up shortly. He predicted that 

 nurserymen would have their normal 

 business in January and February. J. B. 

 Baker said that cotton was only a third 

 of the money source of the South. He 

 suggested that cotton be taken in ex- 

 change for nursery stock, the nursery- 

 men thus cooperating with the farmers. 

 Will B. Munson believed that prices 

 should be' maintained as formerly. 



Interesting Addresses. 



At the closing session of the meeting 

 C. L. Edwards, of Dallas, gave an ad- 

 dress on the pecan industry in Texas, 

 which proved of much value to the 

 hearers. R. C. Kerr, of Houston, presi- 

 dent of the Texas State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation, read a paper on "Cooperation 

 Among Nurserymen and Florists in Car- 

 rying On the Work of Beautifying the 

 Cities of the State," in which he sug- 

 gested that a commitee be appointed to 

 confer with Commissioner of Agriculture 

 Davis on questions concerning the work 

 and interests of the nurserymen and 

 florists of the state. Other papers were 

 read as follows:

The Highway to Hardy Perennials

PALISADES NURSERIES 



"THERE you will find all kinds, and 

 ' you can take your pick from the best 

 that grow. Perennials add a feelinc of 

 permanency to your home surroundings. 

 They change their plumage, but not their 

 face, and keep reflecting the seasons all 

 the year around. 



FALL PLANTINQ-To grow most hardy 

 perennials and old-fashioned flowers 

 suoce-sfully. plant in October and No- 

 vember, like planting Spring- flowering 

 bulbs. They then root during Fall and 

 Winter, and are ready for Spring and 

 Summer blooming. 



No grounds are really gar'iened without 

 a big showing in perennials. We are 

 headquarters for perennials, and assure 

 tbe widest latitude in choice as well as 

 the most courteous promptitude in cor- 

 respondence and bervice. Our motto— 

 "Maximum Quality at Minimum Cost."
