The Florists' Review 



Apbil 0, 1914.

 employ of the Sterling Floral Co., Ster- 

 ling, 111., for the last five years, has re- 

 signed his position to go into business

PACIFIC COAST ASSOCIATION. 



The 1914 meeting of the Pacific Coast 

 Association of Nurserymen will be held 

 at Vancouver, B, C. The executive 

 committee has fixed the meeting dates, 

 June 16, 17 and 18, with the view of 

 affording an opportunity for members 

 so desiring to attend the meeting of 

 the American Association, with dates 

 following, on the same round trip. 



The British Columbia Nurserymen's 

 Association has already made prepara- 

 tions to entertain the Pacific Coast As- 

 sociation most elaborately. The recre- 

 ation, social and pleasure features so 

 much enjoyed by our members during 

 the past meetings will again serve to 

 restore the needed perspective, create 

 the renewed energy and develop the 

 unflinching determination which are es- 

 sential for success in the nursery busi- 

 ness. 



Our association will be royally wel- 

 comed; provision is being made for 

 every comfort to our members, and the 

 British Columbia nurserymen are ex- 

 pecting a good attendance from this 

 side of the line. Nurserymen and flo- 

 rists from all sections ot Canada will 

 be present at this meeting. 



Will our members please write at 

 their earliest convenience, stating what 

 subject matter it is desired, in their 

 opinion, to have come up before the 

 meeting for discussion and considera- 

 tion, so that the executive committee 

 may know the wishes of our member- 

 ship when preparing the program? Ad- 

 dress C. A. Tonneson, secretary-treas- 

 urer Pacific Coast Association of Nur- 

 serymen, Box 1604, Tacoma, Wash.

CENSUS OF NUBSEBIES. 



The United States Census Bureau has 

 just issued a bulletin containing the 

 census of agriculture made in 1910, in- 

 cluding the nursery statistics, the gen- 

 eral totals of which were for the first 

 time published in The Review for May 

 8, 1913. In addition to the figures then 

 given, the bulletin contains no new 

 matter except percentages of increase 

 or decrease and figures of average val

ues, which are without practical impor- 

 tance. The bulletin, however, shows 

 one extremely interesting fact: It is 

 stated that the figures which The Ee- 

 view published May 8, 1913, "relate 

 not only to nursery products raised on 

 ordinary farms but also to the much 

 larger output produced in special estab- 

 lishments devoted exclusively to these 

 products and using intensive methods 

 of agriculture. Table 152 gives statis- 

 tics for nursery products produced in 

 special establishments. Table 153 gives 

 statistics for all nursery products." It 

 was Table 153 that appeared in The 

 Eeview a year ago. 



Table 152 reveals the fact that the 

 general figures of nursery products for 

 the year 1909 include 3,112 farms or 

 establishments reporting the total value 

 of nursery products as $431,119, or only 

 $139 per establishment. These are not 

 nurseries; they are not to be counted 

 as in the nursery business. Eecogniz- 

 ing this, the table shows the number of 

 establishments reporting the value of 

 nursery products at $250 or over. This 

 reduces the number of nurseries from 

 5,582 to 2,470, which still is much too 

 high, since it includes establishments 

 reporting nursery products valued at as 

 little as $250 for a whole year. The 

 average value of the products for the 

 whole number, 2,470, is $8,348. The 

 showing for the 2,470 establishments 

 reported as having nursery products 



valued at $250 or over in 1909 is as
