 ■director. 



F. A. Ward, one of the proprietors 

 of the Eoyal Nursery Co., at Fairmont, 

 Minn., is arranging for the establish- 

 ment of the St. Cloud Nursery Co., at 

 St. Cloud, Minn. The company is to be

John E. French, of Marinette, Wis., 

 ■who has for a long time been the repre- 

 sentative of W. C. Moore & Co., of New- 

 ark, N. Y., is entering into a partner- 

 ship with John Darrow, of Escanaba,

A SUIT has been brought for the dis- 

 solution of the Muskogee Wholesale Nur- 

 sery Co., at Muskogee, Okla., by Clar- 

 ence E. De Groot, a stockholder. He 

 declares the concern has been neglected 

 by the directors, who, he says, never 

 meet. There are two judgments against 

 the concern which have not been satis- 

 fied. He asks that either a receiver be 

 appointed with full powers to run the 

 business and a new board of directors 

 be elected, or the company be dissolved. 



NEW ENGLAND ASSOCIATION. 



Second Meeting of Live Organization. 



The New England Nurserymen's As- 

 sociation will hold its second annual 

 meeting at the Hotel Bond, at Hart- 

 ford, Conn., Tuesday and Wednesday, 

 February 24 and 25. Although this is 

 only the second year of the existence 

 •of this associartion, it has already proved 

 itself a live organization, of much help 

 as well as interest to the members of 

 the nursery trade in that section. Its 

 meeting next week should, therefore, 

 ■draw a large attendance. An additional 

 attraction at Hartford during the week 

 of the meeting will be the automobile 

 show. 



The first session will open at 1 p. m., 

 February 24, and after the president's 

 address, presentation of reports and ap- 

 pointment of new committees, the bug 

 question, in which nurserymen of this 

 section are vitally interested just now, 

 will engross the attention of the mem- 

 bers. The chief inspectors of the New 

 England states and the federal Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture have been invited 

 to lead the discussion on this subject. 

 Following this conference, the subject 

 of "Forestry and Its Eelation to the 

 Nurserymen" will be taken up by Pro- 

 fessor J. W. Toomey, director of the 

 Yale Forestry .School, and W. O. Filley, 

 Connecticut state forester. A paper by 

 E. F. Coe, of New Haven, Conn., on 

 "Local Eetail Nursery and Sales 

 Grounds" will close the session. 



Dinner by Connecticut Nur8er3rmen. 



At 6:30 p. m., Tuesday evening, the

 be held the election of officers. After 

 this a paper on "The Nurserymen and 

 Public Parks" will be presented by 

 Geo. A. Parker, superintendent of 

 parks at Hartford, and another on 

 "Evergreens for New England," by

 Methods of Growing Herbaceous Stock 

 in the Nursery" will be taken up by 

 A. E. Eobinson, Daniel A. Clarke, Ju- 

 lius Heurlin, George C. Thurlow and

 man, of North Abington, Mass., and on

 ness," by F. E. Burroughs, president of 

 the Connecticut Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion, will be read. A talk by J. H.

 tonbury, Conn., will close the meeting.

praised value. The First National bank 

 holds a judgment against the company 

 for the sum of $58,168.12. i 



The purchase was made at a public 

 sale held at the company's warehouse 

 Monday, February 2, but report of the 

 sale was not made until the following 

 Saturday. The First National bank was 

 the only bidder, but in his report 

 to the court Eeceiver C, W. McDonald 

 expressed the belief that the sale was 

 an advantageous one. Judge Thornell 

 approved the sale. 



In February, 1913, the First National 

 bank obtained judgment for $58,168.12 

 against the F. W. Meneray Co., the 

 judgment being based on several prom- 

 issory notes held by the bank. At the 

 time the bank instituted suit, C. W. 

 McDonald was appointed receiver. 



When judgment was rendered, the de- 

 cree provided for the sale of all the real 

 estate and of the nursery stock of the 

 company. Painter Knox and A. W. 

 Tyler were appointed appraisers of the 

 property, and their report, as filed be- 

 fore the sale, fixed the value of the 

 property at $45,246.01.
