THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN * 
BUFFUM TOOL CO. 
This company exhibited the improved Stark Transplant¬ 
ing Plow which it' claims to be the “daddie” of all graft- 
plows. One of the main features of the Stark plow is its 
furrow; one side being vertical serves as a brace and guide 
so the plant retains an upright position; the other side is so 
shaped that a portion of the pulverized soil falls back in 
the bottom of the furrow, providing a soft bed upon which 
the plant rests, or if a long root or cutting, it can be easily 
pushed down as far as desired. 
Another exhibit of the BufEum Tool Co. was the Buffum 
Automatic Printing Press which will print 10,000 postal 
cards an hour. This press would be an extremely valuable 
addition to any office. 
ELLWANGER & BARRY. 
A fine array of Japanese Maples decorated the windows 
of the Exhibition room. Their perfect and delicate foliage 
of a russet color attracted a great deal of attention. They 
were from the Mount Hope Nurseries, Rochester, N. Y. 
J. G. HARRISON & SONS. 
Among the best of the tree exhibits was that of the 
Harrison Company. Sturdy and well-developed stock of 
one-year peach, two-year apple, two-year pear, two-year 
plum and two-year cherry were shown. The dry, hot air of 
the Exhibition room did not seem to effect them materially; 
they stood up well. 
BENJ. CHASE CO. 
The Benj. Chase Co., Derry Village, N. H., displayed 
samples of wood labels for Nurserymen and Florists. 
MC HUTCHINSON CO. 
The McHutchinson Company of New York displayed 
' samples of their old reliable Raffia. 
THE ROCHESTER LITHOGRAPHING CO. 
The Rochester Lithographing Company was on hand with 
their usual full line of samples, and during the days of the Con¬ 
vention were busy showing the nurserymen their different 
plates. Their work is well known and needs no description. 
MISCELLANEOUS. 
In their Trencher and Soil Firmer, the Clinton Falls 
Nursery Co., have brought out what they claim to be two 
of the best labor-saving devices yet introduced to assist the 
Nurseryman in planting his stock cheaply and in such a 
manner that a much larger percentage will grow than when 
other makes of machines are used or when planted in the 
ordinary way. 
Al. K. Feigly has announced the improved Feigly nursery 
tree digger and claims that it has more points of merit 
recommending it to the Nurserymen of the United States 
than any other machine for like purpose on the market 
today. 
The Perine Plow Works, Topeka, Kansas, exhibited 
their graft planter and seedling digger. 
The Reed Tree Stripper which made such a favorable 
impression a year ago at Detroit was again on exhibition. 
W. A. Harding & Co., Winnebago, Minn., exhibited their 
Rotary Harrow with gang plow and sulky plow attachment. 
The Niagara Sprayer Company, Middleport, N. Y., 
exhibited Insecticides,Fungicides and Niagara Gas Sprayers. 
These later are unique, simple and easy to handle. 
American Fruits issued a small pamphlet containing a 
directory of Nurserymen. The names are listed by states. 
The New Jersey Peat and Moss Co., placed in their space 
numerous varieties of moss and gave aw.ay samples care¬ 
fully packed. 
The Dayton Fruit Tree Label Co., likewise showed a line 
of wood labels for Nurserymen and Florists. 
Tooth picks and Nurserymen’s wood labels formed the 
exhibit of the Perfection Mfg. Co., Detroit, Mich. 
T. A. McBeth, Springfield, Ohio, displayed a fine collection 
of hardy shrubs. 
Vredenburg Company of Rochester, N.Y., had a creditable 
display. Their colored photographs in many cases were 
remarkably striking and effective. The photographic 
basis for the coloring makes their plates a good means of 
selling nursery stock. 
The exhibit of the National Fruit Grower consisted of 
specimens of the magazine for the past year. The magazine 
as it has been printed is a creditable piece of work. 
The National Nurseryman had a very simple display, 
having only a number of copies of its June issue in view. 
The Western Fruit Grower, St. Joseph, Mo., not only 
exhibited copies of the magazine as printed during 1907-8, 
but also a line of catalogues and makeup color sketches 
used by them in printing the covers for the catalogues. 
Mr. Charles A. Work, the new manager of the catalogue 
department, was on hand to explain all features of the work 
turned out by this company. 
The Addressograph Company, of Chicago, Ill., had one of 
its machines in operation and an employee was on hand to 
explain the various working parts of this extremely useful 
device. By means of the addressograph mail can be 
addressed not only promptly,but also clearly and accurately. 
The machine is one that all nurserymen will appreciate in 
their office.
