their publication, which is a highly com-

The American Nursery Company re- 
ports a material increase in orders this 
season over the combined business last 
year of the different concerns consti- 
tuting this company. The company’s 
large wholesale business, at both the 
Bloodgood Nurseries Department, Flush- 
ing, L. I., and the F. & F. Nurseries 
Department, Springfield, N. J., although 
constantly growing, does not show so 
large an increase : but the orders for 
Public Grounds and Private Estates, 
with all of the Departments, have far 
exceeded expectations. The favorable 
location of the Sales Department at No, 
150 Broadway, New York, is a great 
convenience to the company’s patrons.
