NEWS OF THE NURSERY TRADE

The Interstate Commerce Commission 

 has directed the Lake Shore railroad to 

 refund $43 to Coe, Converse & Edwards 

 on account of overcharges on shrubbery 

 shipped from Dunkirk, N. Y., to Fort 

 Atkinson, Wis. 



Nurserymen of Phoenix, Ariz., and 

 vicinity have organized and held two 

 meetings during the last two weeks. 

 Mutual protection and benefit and the 

 enforcement of state laws in regard to 

 the importation of stock are the objects. 



Preparations for tlie removal of the 

 Elm City Nursery Co., from New Haven, 

 Conn., to Woodmont, Conn., are under 

 way. The company has 200 acres of 

 land at the latter place, and the offices 

 KS well as the nurseries wjll be located 

 there. 



For the "buy-a-bale" plan the Texas 

 Nursery & Floral Co., of Alvin, Tex., is 

 substituting the " trade-a-bale " plan. 

 Manager D. Lee Slataper offers to trade 

 nursery stock for twenty-five bales of 

 cotton and allow 11 cents per pound at 

 t-atalogue prices. 



One of the large i>ackiug houses of 

 the Farmer Seed & Nursery Co., at Fari- 

 bault, Minn., was destroyed by fire a 

 few days ^o. About $500 worth pf nurs- 

 ery stock and $300 worth of tools we're 

 also destroyed. The building and stock 

 were i)artiaHy insured. 



E. TuRBAT, general secretary of the 

 syndicate of French nurserymen 's asso- 

 ciations, states that arrangements had 

 been made up to October 16 for the 

 transportation of nursery stock via the 

 Frencli railways to Havre, Dieppe, Hon- 

 rieur, Nantes, St. Nazaire arid Bordeaux. 

 Al. Turbat believes this insures the regu- 

 lar departure of all shipments to Amer- 

 ica. 



Firms which occasionally have trouble 

 with agents will await, with interest the 

 outcome of a suit brought against the 

 Greening Nursery Co., of Monroe, Mich., 

 by William C. Drake and Howard A. 

 Jackson, former Detroit agents for ^the 

 concern. Alleging that notification by 

 the company of its customers that they 

 had been "fired" constituted a libel, the 

 two men arc suing for $25,000 damages. 



' ANXtETY in regard to a substitute or 

 method of packing to be used in case 

 burlap becomes prohibitive in price was 

 to some extent relieved by a representa- 

 tive of a bag manufacturing company 

 lit the meeting of the Texas Nursery- 

 men's Association, lie stated that bur- 

 lap could now be had at the usual price 

 and that, although he did not know just 

 how long this price would prevail, the 

 company was making every effort to 

 keep an ample supply on hand. 



PHASES OF SAJLES OONTRAOTS. 



A contract to sell trees provided that 

 the buyer before delivery would ad- 

 ' vance $4 on the purchase price for 

 every 1,000 buds, and afterward pay 

 $4 per thousand for grafting trees not 

 previously budded. The remainder of 

 the contract price was to be paid one- 



half in cash at the time of delivery 

 and one-half within sixty days there- 

 after. It was further agreed that on 

 the buyer's failure to make any ad- 

 vance payment according to the con- 

 tract, the seller might rescind the con- 

 tract and forfeit payments already 

 made. Under this contract it was held 

 by the Oregon Supreme Court, in the 

 case of Walker vs. Warring, 130 Pacific 

 Reporter 629, that a mere delay on the 

 buyer 's part in making payments, with- 

 out any conduct indicating an intent 

 to abandon the contract, did not 

 authorize the seller to declare a for- 

 feiture of the advance payments and 

 to refuse to credit such payments on 

 the account for trees delivered. S. 



MOBB STOCK FBOM ABROAD. 



While the receipts from abroad in 

 other lines show signs of decreasing, 

 the imports of nursery stock seem to 

 be on the increase each week. One 

 boat from Rotterdam last week brought 

 over 1,000 cases, the largest shipment 

 of trees and shrubs that has entered 

 the port of New York since the war 

 broke out. The consignments carried 

 by this steamer, the Rotterdam, which 



arrived at New York October 26, were 



as follows:

The fortieth annual convention of 

 the American Association of Nursery- 

 men will be held at Detroit, Mich,, June 

 23 to 25, 1915. The last convention, 

 which was held at Cleveland, O., was 

 the largest and best for some years; 

 the Detroit gathering, which will mark 

 the fortieth anniversary of the associa- 

 tion, is expected to eclipse any meeting 

 in the history of the organization. The 

 committees on arrangements, program 

 and entertainment have already com- 

 menced their work. Nurserymen who 

 are not on the membership roll of this 

 association do themselves and thil Val-
