THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
new kinds and some that have not yet been marketed 
were observed together with other rare and unusual 
plants that this eminent propagator is working with. The 
present proprietor is the son of Victor LeMoine who es¬ 
tablished the firm’s international reputation prior to his 
death about eight years ago. 
I was also at Ghent, Belgium, where the Azaleas and 
Bay Trees are grown, and here saw the wonderful Easter 
exhibit of Azaleas grown and displayed as only these 
men who know Azaleas so well could have exhibited 
them. 
At England many places of horticultural interest were 
shown, but most interesting of all was the Royal Horti¬ 
cultural show that had been opened by the Queen and to 
which for 3 days many thousands of people came. The 
Nurserymen of England were largely represented here 
with displays that for arrangement and the quality of 
the plants it would be difficult to surpass. By attendance 
at this show I was able to meet the growers of England 
much more conveniently than would have been possible 
in touring about that country at a time when railroad 
transportation was so handicapped by the coal strike. 
At Bagettelle Gardens, Paris, I attended the interna¬ 
tional rose show with S. S. Pennock of the S. S. Pennock 
Company, Philadelphia. Mr. Pennock was the judge from 
the United States and it was a privilege to be present at 
the time when roses were in their height of bloom, and 
under the favorable conditions that were afforded by be¬ 
ing with Mr. Pennock, who with other judges were 
shown all the opportunities of seeing the gardens and 
the hospitality of Paris. 
In Germany I visited the Nurseries of Peter Lambert, 
the home of the Frau Karl Druschki rose as well as the 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria rose. Mr. Lambert was work¬ 
ing along with enthusiasm and hoping for the future as 
only a courageous man could, for his Nurseries are in the 
occupied area and his products must pay tariff in going 
out of that area, and the tariff is so high that it practical¬ 
ly confines his business to a small strip of land not much 
over 40 miles in width. He has several new varieties 
of roses that the world will probably have to wait for 
while these conditions exist. Some give great promise 
but none I think as remarkable as the Druschki rose 
which brought him into renown. 
There are other Nurseries in Germany that I have 
seen, principal among which is the Spaeth establishment 
near Berlin. This company employs nearly 1000 men. 
It has large offices and represents the biggest investment 
of acreage and money that I saw in Europe and is prob¬ 
ably as large as any in America. The young stocks of 
this firm were in good order but those that were ready 
for market during the war years have suffered the fate 
of much Nursery stock in Europe and must be consigned 
to the brush heap. The original Pfitzeriana Juniper was 
a plant of especial interest to me in the nicely kept ar¬ 
boretum of the Spaeth establishment. This concern cele¬ 
brated its 200th anniversary in September of last year 
and had almost a thousand persons present at the meet¬ 
ing who represented the gardening, landscape, and horti¬ 
cultural men of Germany. I was invited to address this 
group and while the handicaps of language were embar¬ 
rassing, I did in a few brief remarks tell them of the 
world’s indebtedness to the firm that put the Spaeth 
Lilacs on the market, this famous Juniper, and other 
plants which have advanced horticulture. 
I can assure you that it is pleasant to be back in the 
United States again, but after a year’s residence in 
Europe one has friends, associations, and attachments 
for those countries which make him long for the time 
when he can revisit them. 
Very respectfully, 
J. Edward Moon.
