AMERICAS ASSOOIATION OF KUBSEBYKEK. 

 Offlcera for 1911-12: Pre»., J. H. D«Tton, 

 PalnesTlUe, C; Tlce-frea., W. H. Wyman, North 

 AblBgton, Ma».; Sec'y, John HaU, Rocheater, 

 N. Y.; Tr«as., O. L. Tatas, Rochester, N. T. 

 Tblrty-aeTenth anniua meeting, Boston Jim* 1812. 



What glad acclaim would greet a plan 

 that would substitute national inspection 

 and control for state inspection and con- 

 trol of the nursery business! 



C. W. ZORN, who, with his brother, was 

 in the nursery business for a number of 

 years at Eoff, Okla., has removed to Ada, 

 Okla., and will establish a nursery there. 



The Western Home Nursery Co., of 

 Weatherford, Tex., has filed a deed of as- 

 signment for the benefit of its creditors. 

 T. A. Wythe was appointed assignee. The 

 total liabilities are estimated at $8,748.16 

 and assets at $5,340.99. 



Storks & Harrison Co., Painesville, 

 O., recently received an importation in- 

 voiced as spiraea, on which the collector 

 of customs at Cleveland assessed duty at 

 twenty-five per cent as nursery stock. 

 Under protest, the merchandise was held 

 to be dutiable at $2.50 per thousand as 

 astilbe. 



Because ])ractically all nurserymen 

 are opposed to the so-called Simmons bill 

 providing for a quarantine against in- 

 fected or diseased nursery stock, it does 

 not follow that they all arc opposed to 

 a plan of federal inspection and regula- 

 tion so devised that trade interests shall 

 bo properly safeguarded. 



The East Lawn Nursery & Develop- 

 ment Co. has been incorporated at Sacra- 

 mento, Cal., for the purpose of conducting 

 a wholesale and retail flower, nursery and 

 plant business and maintaining acreage 

 for development purposes. The capital 

 stock is $25,000. The directors are Eobert 

 Armstrong, S. M. Hulett, Peter B. New- 

 man, J. W. Mitchell and A. Duhem, all of 

 .Sacramento. 



The Hoopes Bros. & Thomas Co.. of the 

 Maple Avenue Nurseries, West Chester, 

 Pa., recently added another farm to the 

 nursery grounds and a large force of men 

 have been employed in preparing the new- 

 ly acquired land for the firm's use. An 

 unusually heavy spring business is ex- 

 pected, and the preparations made for the 

 shipment of stock are the most extensive 

 in the company's experience.
