 Thirty -seventh annual meeting. Boaton June 1912. 



A~ NEW^ building is being erected at 

 Fairmount, Minn., by the McKisson Nur- 

 series. It will be used as an office and for 

 tree grafting. 



Ornamental nursery stock will not be 

 in oversupply in this country for many 

 years to come, no matter what fate may 

 overtake peach and apple trees. 



The nursery business has been at a 

 standstill thus far in 1912, even the in- 

 dustrious and gentlemanly agents frozen 

 up practically all over the country. 



F. G. Yule has disposed of his inter- 

 ests in C. S. Harrison's Select Nursery 

 Co., of York, Neb., and will start in the 

 nursery business at Lincoln, Neb., on his 

 own account. Mr. Yule will handle 

 mainly ornamentals, shrubbery and per- 

 ennials. ^'

WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



The year 1912 opens with every pros- 

 pect of good business, unless condi- 

 tions generally in all lines throughout 

 the country get worse than they have 

 been for the last vear. The 1911 flower 

 business of Washington was consider- 

 ably better than in 1910, as a general 

 thing. Of course, there were probably 

 exceptions to the rule. There is an opti- 

 mistic feeling that there will be a 

 healthy growth this year.

All of the downtown florists report 

 their 1911 business as greater than in 

 the year before. One concern did $26,- 

 000 more business last year than in 

 1910. Others approximated that figure, 

 while some exceeded it. There is plentjy^ 

 of competition, and room in the busi- 

 ness for still more, according to good 

 judges. Every new entry in the field 

 takes business from the older firms, but 

 the latter continue to extend their 

 trade. More flowers are being sold than 

 ever before, and the prices are said to 

 be much lower, on the whole, than they 

 were a few years ago. At. that time 

 the prevailing retail prices of good 

 roses ranged around $6 to $9 per dozen. 

 Now, it is said, the usual price is more 

 likely to be $3 or $4 a dozen for a better 

 grade of flowers. More people are using
