THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN

THE CANADIAN NATIONAL EXHIBITION 
The Canadian National Exhibition is held annually at 
Toronto usually the last week in August and the first 
week in September. 
It is the largest annual exhibition of its kind in the 
world. During the two weeks it is open it is visited by 
over a million people. The attendance records show a 
steady increase. 
The permanency of the buildings and magnitude of 
the exhibition says much for the enterprise of our neigh¬ 
bors on the north. 
The horticultural building has a floor space of 29,900 
square feet and gives the Canadian nurserymen and 
florists an opportunity to bring their goods to the public 
notice annually. 
Messrs. Stone and Wellington, Nurseries, at Fonthill, 
Welland Co., Ontario, and offices at Toronto, sent us the 
photograph of their exhibit, which due to the season, 
consisted largely of evergreens and perennials.

COOPERATIVE ADVERTISING 
At the annual meeting of the Southern Nurserymen’s 
Association recently held in Charleston, S. C., plans for 
co-operative advertising were adopted by eight of the 
largest nursery firms in the Southern states. 
The object will he to fix the trademark “Trustworthy 
Trees and Plants” in the mind of the reader and to 
create confidence in the firms holding membership in the 
S. A. N. 
This advertising, while it will supplement the nation¬ 
al publicity sent out by the American Association of 
Nurserymen, will appear exclusively in southern farm 
publications. The account will be handled by E. Fred 
Rowe of the McFarland Publicity Service, Harrisburg, 
Penna. 
Mr. A. E. Robinson, of the Rreck-Robinson Nursery 
Co., Lexington, Mass., has just returned from an auto 
trip which covered about 1700 miles, visiting the prin¬ 
cipal nurseries in the East, from Newport, R. I., to 
Washington, D. C. 
C. H. Frey, Florist, Lincoln, Nebraska, has entirely 
disposed of his nursery stock and will confine himself 
strictly to the florist business.

Editor The National Nurseryman, 
While perusing the pages of the September number of 
your magazine, we read an account under the heading 
“A Neglected Group of Plants” which was particularly 
interesting to us, as we are specializing in members of 
the Heath family. We have eighty-six acres of wooded 
or partly wooded land, half of which is under cultiva¬ 
tion of Rhododendron maximum, R. Catawbiense, R. 
Caroliniamxm, R. punctatum, Azalea nudiflora, A. can- 
escens, A. calendulacea, A. viscosa, A. arborescens, Kal- 
mia latifolia, K. angustifolia, Andromeda, floribunda, 
Leucoihoe Catesbaeii, Vaccinium corymbosum, Men- 
zosia pilosa, and Azalea Vaseyii. We have been estab¬ 
lished here for the past five years and now have a lim¬ 
ited quantity of each of the above for sale. In two years 
time we will have large quantities of these plants ready 
for market. 
Yours very truly, 
LaRars Rhodendron Nursery,, 
Stroudsburg, Pa. 
Mr. Charles Detriche, Sr., nurseryman of Angers, 
France, for whom Jackson & Perkins Co., Newark, N. Y.,
