The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 13, 1918. 



The death of Nathan D, Pierce, weU 

 known in the nursery trade in Bhode 

 Island, is recorded in this week's obitu- 

 ary column. 



Henry Augustine, of Normal, 111., waa 

 killed by a train March 8. A brief sketch 

 of his career appears in this week's 

 obituary column. 



The western states are quarantining 

 against the alfalfa weevil and several of 

 them have barred nursery stock that 

 «ome8 packed in alfalfa. 



Each season greater numbers of suit- 

 ably located florists are taking up land- 

 ■scape work and are handling nursery 

 stock. They rarely fail to find it profit- 

 able. 



De. W. S. Regan, who is in charge of 

 the nursery stock inspection work in Mas- 

 sachusetts, recently told the New England 

 Nurserymen's Association that eighteen 

 new pests have been received on imported 

 stock so far this season. 



J. Johannes, who formerly ran green- 

 houses at Rockford, 111., but who has 

 been spending the winter at Paris, 111., 

 has returned to Rockford to execute the 

 landscape work at the new Dr. James 

 Sanitarium on Corey's Bluff. 



QUALIFIED IN WYOMING. 



The law in Wyoming permits no 

 nursery to ship stock into the state un- 

 less it holds the license of the state 

 board of horticulture, such license not 

 being obtainable until the nursery has 

 filed a bond and a sworn copy of its 

 certificate of inspection. The nurseries 

 which have complied with these require- 

 ments for the year 1913 are as follows:

NEW YORKERS ARE RELIEVED. 



As has been reported in this depart- 

 ment of The Review, New York nursery- 

 men have been much perturbed over 

 the introduction in the state legislature 

 of a bill that would impose well-nigh 

 intolerable conditions on those in the 

 ousiness. Last week 's issue told of a 



large delegation going to Albany to op- 

 pose the bill in committee. So deter- 

 mined was the opposition that the dele- 

 gation was assured that this so-called 

 Vert bill would not be reported for 

 passage and that it will be materially 

 modified before it is heard from again. 

 The provision particularly objected to 

 was one making the original seller re- 

 sponsible in the sum of $5 for the true- 

 ness to name any time within five years 

 of date of sale. 



THE STARK FAMILY TROUBLES. 



William P. Stark, president of the 

 Wm. P. Stark Nurseries, Neosho, Mo., 



has filed suit against the Stark Bros. 

 Nurseries & Orchards Co., and Edgar 

 W. Stark, president, Lloyd C. Stark, 

 vice-president, and Eugene Duncan, 

 treasurer, asking for the appointment 

 of a receiver for the company. He 

 bases his petition on the following alle- 

 gations: "That Edgar W. Stark has 

 never learned the fundamental princi- 

 ples of the business; that he is not 

 familiar with the scope or with the 

 details of the business; that he is in- 

 competent to run the business, and yet 

 he dictates to the other officers all of 

 their official acts in connection with the 

 business.
