The Rorists' Review 



Mai 7, 1914. 



Options on land in the vicinity of Au- 

 burn, Cal., have been secured by E. S. 

 Simmons, a berry specialist of that state, 

 who plans to establish a large nursery 

 there for the propagation of small fruits. 



Senator Johnson, of Maine, has pro- 

 posed an amendment to the agricultural 

 appropriation bill increasing the appro- 

 priation for the enforcement of the plant 

 quarantine act from $50,000 to $150,000. 



Charles Isselee, formerly superin- 

 tendent on the E. C. Schaefer estate at 

 New Eochelle, N. Y., is preparing to 

 start a nursery at Mt. Kisco, N. Y., spe- 

 cializing in perennials, roses and ever- 

 greens. His permanent address is 103 

 Park avenue, New York city. 



The season is proving unusually fa- 

 vorable for the nursery trade. The plant- 

 ing season, although late in opening in 

 some sections, has been long and uninter- 

 rupted. It has enabled the trade to 

 prosecute its work at a rate that has re- 

 sulted in a splendid spring total.
