Dover, Del. —The American Pecan Co. has been incorporated 
to engage in a general nursery business and nut culture. The in¬ 
corporators are Wilmington charter representatives, and the capital 
stock is $500,000. 
Washington, D. C.—Regret has been expressed by the President 
and by Mrs. Taft because the 2000 Japanese cherry trees, presented 
by the municipality of Tokio to this Government, have been found 
to be infected with root gall worms, certain fungus diseases, and 
insect pests. The trees were to have been planted in Potomac Park, 
but the Secretary of Agriculture has found it necessary to recommend 
the destruction of the trees. 
Olympia, Wash. —The Supreme Court has decided in favor of 
defendants in the Spokane case of the Inland Nursery & Floral Co., 
against H. C. Rice, J. H. Mumm and E. L. Rice. The action was 
brought to cancel and hold void for fraud, stock held by the defen¬ 
dants. Rice & Mumm were engaged in the floral business at Spo¬ 
kane and organized this company with $50,000 capital and so sold 
their business and good will to the corporation for $25,000 paid up 
stock. Others were induced to invest $17,000 cash in stock of the 
company. It was claimed by plaintiffs that the business, instead of 
being worth $25,000 was worth less than $2,000. It made no differ¬ 
ence, said the Supreme Court, what the actual value of the property 
was so long as the corporation gave its stock in payment, and it can¬ 
not now claim the deal was one-sided nor can new stockholders com¬ 
plain. 
Marshall, Mo.—The National Nursery Co., of Lawrence, Kans., 
has established an office here with Col. Preston in charge. 
Austin, Tex. —The Port Arthur Nursery Co., has been incor¬ 
porated with a capital stock of $40,000. Incorporators are Fred 
Clark, C. E. Smith and R. H. Woodworth. 
Louisiana, Mo.—Stark Bros., through their assistant treasurer, 
Wm. H. Stark, have purchased land at Girard, Pa., in the famous 
New York-Pennsylvania Grape Belt. Mr. Stark also purchased for 
the Company an excellent farm at Marionville, Mo., where he spent 
several weeks locating the ideal soil of that section for the growth of 
delicious apple trees .—The Florists' Exchange.

‘^FRIEND” SPRAYER FACTORY TO ENLARGE 
At a special meeting of 
the Board of Directors of the 
“Friend” Manufacturing 
Company of Gasport, N. Y., 
on Tuesday, February 8th, 
1910, it was voted to double 
the efficiency of the present 
plant by the addition of a 
large fire-proof structure, to 
be used for the installation 
of the new and modern 
machinery which the Com¬ 
pany have recently pur¬ 
chased and contemplate 
purchasing for another sea¬ 
son’s work. 
The residence property of Rev. George Hull, the general manager 
adjoining the Company’s property on the east was purchased for 
this new addition, and it was voted to proceed as rapidly as possible 
with the construction of the building. The Company reports that 
each year their business doubles each preceding year, and this pro¬ 
posed addition will greatly facilitate in filling orders promptly for 
the celebrated “Friend” Spraying Outfits, that are now being 
shipped into all parts of the world.
