THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
449 
MARYLAND WEEK AT BALTIMORE 
The Maryland State Horticultural Society, Crop Improve¬ 
ment Association, State Dairymen’s Association, State Bee- 
Keepers’ Association and Farmers’ League of Maryland held 
their combined exhibition at the Fifth Regiment Armory 
from November 19-23d. 
The combining of Horticultural, Agricultural and allied 
Associations gives splendid opportunity of showing the 
resources of the State and the progress being made along the 
different lines. 
2^^The exhibits were well arranged and showed first class 
management. The Apple exhibit being especially fine and 
seemed to dominate the fruit section. In fact there seemed ' 
to be a lack of other kinds of fruit especially nuts, which is 
surprising considering how favorably Maryland is situated 
for growing them. What were there were of excellent 
quality. The commercial exhibits of agricultural machinery 
and Orchardists supplies were in strong force. 
The Maryland State Board of Forestry had an interesting 
exhibit of native woods and forest tree seedlings. The latter 
was especially good in familiarizing the public with what a 
seedling looks like. The Nurserymen were represented by 
Harrison’s Nurseries, Berlin, Maryland, with a group of fine 
evergreens, fruit and deciduous ornamental trees. J. W. 
Brandt Nursery Co., Upper Falls, Md., with evergreen and 
fruit trees. Franklin Davis Nursery Co., Baltimore, Md., 
with fruit trees, well grown Norway Maples, and a collection 
of Evergreens, noticeable among the latter were large Law¬ 
son’s Cypress indicating the mildness of the climate in 
their locality. 
Thomas Meehan and Sons, Germantown, Pa., had an 
attractive exhibit of Globe Box, English Hollies, Hardy 
Chrysanthemums and Nurserymen’s Sundries, also prize 
paintings of their famous mallows. 
Isaac H. Moss, Govanstown, Md., received the blue ribbon 
for group of evergreens. 
The Westminster Nursery also exhibited evergreens and 
fruit trees and showed fine samples. 
Richard Vincent, Jr. & Sons Co., had a fine display of 
Hardy Chrysanthemums. 
IMPORTERS’ NOTES 
Shipments are now arriving in large volume from Boskoop, 
Oudenbosch, and other Holland points—Belgium shipments 
are over for this season—German shipments of Lily of the 
Valley Pips are commencing to arrive. 
French shipments will not arrive until about the middle of 
December. The plant Quarantine Act will probably limit 
these, as the extra work will prevent the shippers getting out 
so many orders in the short time, besides the certificate 
requirements will largely prevent French nurserymen buying 
shortages from their neighbors, as has been their custom.

Gentlemen: 
“George A. Sweet is dead.’’ We have just received this 
sad message from our Dansville office. Thus ends a long 
up-hill sti-uggle of 45 years against ill health. He made a 
brave fight and in his passing the nursery world is deprived 
of one of its noblest and best men, a gentleman of the “Old 
School,’’ a true, warm hearted friend and withal one of 
nature’s noblemen. 
On our visits to Dansville, one of our greatest pleasures 
was the anticipation of calling on our old friend, George A. 
Sweet. In recent years, in spite of his long suffering, he still 
retained his cheerful optimism. For many years he has been 
our friend, good, generous and big hearted, the kind of a man 
whose presence and whose life makes the world better and 
makes life seem “worth while.’’ 
He is gone and there is no one to fill his place. We shall 
miss him. 
Yours very truly.

NEW REGULATIONS FOR SHIPMENT OF NURSERY 
STOCK INTO MASSACHUSETTS 
For shipment of nursery stock into Massachusetts, it 
has heretofore been necessary to attach tags furnished by 
the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture. Those 
issued this year expire on Nov. 30th. A new law^has gone 
into effect abolishing the use of such tags after December 
first. All stock will be examined on delivery to consignee, 
and such action taken by the State Inspectors as its condi¬ 
tion requires. It may be accepted, fumigated in whole or 
in part, or returned to consignor, according to what is 
found, with costs on consignor. 
George S. Josselyn, for many years in the nursery business 
at Fredonia, N. Y., and widely known in the trade, generously 
remembered his employees in his will, which recently was 
admitted to probate. The sum of $23,000. of his estate, 
valued at $170,000, was left to some of his old and faithful 
employees. Maurice Young was bequeathed $7,000; A. H. 
Lewis, $5,000; Carl Privateer, $3,000; Thomas Halligan, 
$2,000; Bert Martin, $2,000; Julia Ryman, $2,000; Char¬ 
lotte Haniser, $2,000. Carl Privateer, one of the beneficiaries 
died last week.— Florists' Review. 
CENTERVILLE, IND. 
E. Y. Teas & Son in September last sold their entire 
business, stock and fixtures to the Cunningham Nursery Co., 
of Seymour, Ind., and the stock is being transferred to the 
new location as rapidly as possible, where this new firm 
already has some few hundred acres in choice nursery stock. 
The son of Mr. Teas will engage in other business. E. Y. 
Teas, at nearly 83 years of age, and with 65 years’ experience 
in horticultural pursuits, will endeavor to take life more 
leisurely than he has been able to in the past, and will occupy 
himself with pursuits suitable to a man of his years.—
