The Florists' Review 



April 23, 1914. 



It looks as though there will be a 

 fairly good clean-up this season. In 

 the southwest, where the season is over, 

 there was not much stock to go on the 

 brush pile. 



L. G. Endtz has arrived in New York 

 for his annual trip among the trade. He 

 states that the old firm of Endtz, Van 

 Nes & Co., of Boskoop, will be dissolved 

 by September 1 and that he will call on 

 the trade for the new firm of L. G. 

 Endtz & Co. 



John Hall, of Kochester, N. Y., is a 

 busy man, to judge from his work in com- 

 piling the proceedings of the fifty-ninth 

 annual meeting of the Western New York 

 Horticultural Society, which have ap- 

 peared in a neat appearing volume of 

 good size. This is but one of the organ- 

 izations which claim Mr. Hall's services 

 as secretary. 



NUBSEBYMEN BEJOICE. 



Those nurserymen whose business in- 

 cludes the mailing of many small par- 

 cels will rejoice over the news that 

 both branches of Congress now have 

 passed the bill which restores the old 

 flat rate of postage on parcels of plants, 

 etc., weighing eight ounces or less. The 

 Senate passed the bill March 9, and 

 the bill came before the House on the 

 unanimous consent calendar April 20. 

 It went to the President April 21 for 

 signature. 



The rates of postage on parcels of 

 plants, cuttings, etc., now will be the 

 same as the rates on catalogues; that 

 is, 1 cent for each two ounces up to 

 eight ounces regardless of distance, the 

 zone pound rates applying on parcels 

 weighing over eight ounces. 



THE CLEVELAND CONVENTION. 



Thirty-ninth Annual Meeting. 



Three years after the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen was organized at 

 Chicago, with the late Elisha Moody, of 

 Lockport, N. Y., as its first president, 

 the annual meeting of the organization 

 was held at Cleveland. Again, after 

 thirty-five years, the association is to 

 hold its annual meeting, the thirty- 

 ninth, in the Sixth City, June 24, 25 

 and 26. The Ohio nurserymen are pre- 

 paring a welcome that will surpass all 

 previous ones and the attractions of 

 this popular convention city and its 

 central location are expected to draw a 

 record attendance. 



Will B. Munson, of Denison, Tex., 



We have always found The 

 Review a top noteher as to re- 

 sults received from wholesale 

 advertisinflf of nursery stock.—

 January 16, 1914. 



vice-president of the association for 

 Texas, is arranging so that all members 

 from his state will attend. the conven- 

 tion in a party and go on the same 

 train to Cleveland. Nurserymen living 

 in Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and 

 Missouri are invited to join the party. 

 Probably parties will be made up in 

 other distant states, to make the jour- 

 ney to the convention the more pleasant. 



Headquarters at the Hollenden. 



The headquarters of the association 

 will be the Hollenden hotel, cue of the 

 leading hotels of the city. It is one of 

 the largest, and its service of the best. 

 It is conducted on the European plan 

 and its rates are: Single room with 

 bath, $2 to $3.50; double, $3.50 to $5; 

 rooms with two baths, $4 to $6. 



The management has provided assem- 

 bly hall, committee rooms and an ample 

 space for large exhibits. The exhibits 

 are expected to be an important feature 

 of the exhibition. Application for space 

 should be made to T. B. West, of Perry, 

 O., chairman of the committee on ex- 

 hibits. Communications in regard to 

 membership and the badge book should 

 be addressed to John Hall, secretary, 

 204 Granite building, Eochester, N. Y. 



The Program. 



Although the opportunities for recrea- 

 tion and social enjoyment will be large 

 and alluring, the program is being made 



sufficiently interesting to induce mem- 

 bers to put in attendance at all the ses- 

 sions of the association. Among the 

 speakers already on the list are Ex- 

 presideut John Dayton, on ' ' Compe- 

 tition"; J. R. Mayhew, president of 

 the Southern Nurserymen 's Association, 

 on "Problems of Marketing Our Prod- 

 ucts"; Jefferson Thomas, of Jackson- 

 ville, Fla., will speak on "Where Our 

 Trees Are Going"; W. C. Reed will tell 

 of "Pecans for Profit"; the "old man 

 eloquent," C. S. Harrison, of York, 

 Neb., will arouse the enthusiasm of 

 members to the "Mission of Beauty"; 

 John Connon, of Annan, Scotland, has 

 agreed to address the convention on 

 ' ' Trade Conditions on the Other Side ' ' ; 

 F. Hogg, of Toronto, will speak for the 

 Canadian nurserymen; Robert Pyle's 

 subject will be "Roises"; Henry Hicks, 

 of Isaac Hicks & Son, will discuss "Fit- 

 ting Trees to Soil and Climate"; the' 

 witty James Parker, of Tecums6h,, 

 Okla., has selected "Water" as his 

 subject, but furnishes no bint as to 

 how he proposes to handle it. Ex-Presi- 

 dent J. W. Hill, of Des Moines, la., and 

 George C. Roeding, of Fresno, Cal., will 

 also have places on the program. 



D. S. LAKE PBOSPEBOUS. 



That the nursery business is finan- 

 cially not the worst in the world is em- 

 phatically borne out by the material 

 condition of t). S, Lake, president of 

 the Shenandoah Nurseries, at Shenan- 

 doah, la., as shown by the following, 

 clipped from the Shenandoah World: 



D. S. Lake is found to be by far the 

 heaviest taxpayer in the district. Up- 

 on the nursery properties the total 

 taxes amounted to $2,886.88. But this 

 was only a part of taxes paid by him 

 upon properties in which he owns large
