THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
MS 
Nursorvineii (l(‘j)on(ling upon nursery sloek eoining 
from Holland will he niueli disappointed this y(‘ar. A 
few of the early shipineids gol through hut praelieally 
none sinee the (lerinan suhinarine noliee went into etTeet, 
and now it looks as though tluMV would l)e (Midh'ss liti¬ 
gation in eonneetion witli who is responsible foi- IIh; 
loss of the stoek that never left the eountry. 
The Duteh nurserymen will not want to lose it after 
being delivered to the Transportation Gom])anies, and 
the eonsignee wdll eertainly not want to pay the hills not 
having reeeived the stoek, and the insuraiiee eompanies 
w ill try to find an exempting elause under the eonditions 
w hieli prevail. 
Mr. Lloyd C. Stark, Viee President of Stark Hrothers 
Nurseries & Orehards Company, Louisiana, Mo., w as one 
of a eommittee representing the Louisiana Commercial 
Cduh that met in Chicago with Speaker Champ Clark and 
officials of both the Burlington and Chicago and Alton 
railroads in connection with the effort to bring the 
1,000,000 government armor plant to Louisiana. 
IF I WERE A NURSERYMAN 
I w ould prepare a series of letters on trees, shrubs, and 
plants and the reasons for beautifying property;—the 
making of homes from mere houses. 
I would call attention to the small outlay necessary !o 
proper planting;—to the great advantage of planting to 
increase the value of property and to make it more sale¬ 
able. 
I would suhscrihe to Luce’s Daily Landscape Archi¬ 
tects Report and follow^ up each prospect. I also would 
get lists of owners of houses in the suburbs of large citif^s 
and send each one of my letters. 
The first letter might show^ how the intrinsic value of 
property would be increased by proper planting. The 
second might deal with the making of homes from mere 
houses. The next might give the expense of planting 
different size lots and also suggest that the prospect send 
you the size, contour and shape of his lot for suggestions 
and prices of proper planting. 
Many owners of city and suburban homes have the 
idea that shrubbery and gardens are an expensive luxury 
and so a little educational campaign on the part of the 
nurseryman will accomplish two results:—more busi¬ 
ness and more beautiful cities and suburbs.— Adv.
