Floriculture. 132 The Florists' Rcvkw OCTOBBB 19, 19Sa was of the opinion that in a country where the total population reached 110,- 000,000, it was not impossible to ap- proach at least substantially, a total sales per year of $100,000,000, within the next ten years. "In order to do this, however," said Mr. Hill, "we, as a nursery industry, must develop tree planting into a national habit, and this can be done by reminding this vast audience again and again, throughout the year to plant ; Following the publication of this ad- dress, a letter was received by Mr. Hill from Willis H.

The letter is as follows: Isn't It possible for the various nurserymen's associations to cooperate to a greater extent with the florists? The florists number in the neighborhood of 15,000 in the United States, and they get into persona! touch with a great many lovers of flowers, trees and shrutM.

Personally, we are doing all we can to sell our patrons fruit trees, shruM and evergreens, but we find the larger nurserymen, who are within hauling distance of ns, unwilling to give us any encouragement along these lines. Perhaps this letter Will pro- duce other comment on the subject. SXTINa ON 8T00K REFUSED. There is no way of preventing a party to the sale of goods fro
