Under this title we publish the most reliable, progressive 
and up-to-date trade paper in the country, with departments 
covering the Nursery, Plorist, Seed Trade and Allied Indus¬ 
tries. With a paid up subscription and distribution list of 
9000 copies, nearly every copy of which is to men in business 
for themselves the worth of our columns will be readily ap¬ 
preciated. The editor of our Nursery Department is and has 
been for years, JOSEPH MEEHAN, of Philadelphia.

our place, as not a day passes that we do not have to lodge 
some, sometimes I have had to lodge as many as 60 Ger¬ 
man soldiers, and those houses which are locked they 
break open and rob everything, wine, cloth, linen, in other 
words they empty the house, so you may well understand 
that under present circumstances 1 will not leave my 
house. 
About war news we know nothing, changes come slow¬ 
ly and we get no news or newspapers. The war has been 
on a long time. Here in Belgium the Germans eat every¬ 
thing up and won’t have anything left soon. There’s no 
more white bread and they tell us now that they only al¬ 
low us 300 grs. of black bread; of sugar and salt there is 
none and coffee is also up. What an awful time. We 
haven’t received any news from you for months. I hope 
to soon receive some, as it will be encouraging a little. 
Many of the Belgian growers are obliged to board Ger¬ 
man soldiers in their residences, and cavalry horses and 
men in their large greenhouses and hay tree sheds, but 
perhaps the most important present problem is the short¬ 
age of coal and other fuel, which is unprocurable under 
present conditions. 
Mr. E. P. Stephens, Stephens Orchard Company, 
Nampa. Idaho, writes: “I have read your excellent jour¬ 
nal with pleasure many years. Now an orchardist, aged 
70, my eyes are failing so that reading does not come easy 
any more.” 
A very pretty calendar came from George E. Dickin¬ 
son, United States representative of Edward T. Dickin¬ 
son, Chatenay, France. It is entitled “Nature’s Garden” 
and shows a girl and a woman gathering purple, white 
and yellow crocuses. 
Wick Hathaway, Madison, Ohio, writes: “I have en¬ 
joyed one of the best falls I have ever had and my plants 
are averaging better than usual." 
A. W. Steinbring, New Braunfels, Texas, says, "Am 
well pleased with your paper.” 
D. de Haas, Plainfield, writes: “I would state yours is 
a very excellent paper. I am well pleased with it. W ish- 
ing you a prosperous New Year.” 
F. W. Glen Co., have opened an office at 8 South Dear¬ 
born street, Chicago, Illinois. All trade lists should now 
be mailed to that address. 
Please renew our subscription. We sometimes find a 
single article worth the subscription cost for ten years. 
Yours truly.
