  of 
  a 
  man 
  in 
  Maryland 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  using 
  that 
  for 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  

   years. 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary 
  : 
  Do 
  you 
  wax 
  the 
  ends? 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  Sometimes 
  I 
  do, 
  and 
  sometimes 
  I 
  don't. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  You 
  couldn't 
  keep 
  your 
  scions 
  all 
  the 
  time 
  in 
  

   an 
  ice 
  box, 
  could 
  you? 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris: 
  No, 
  not 
  for 
  any 
  length 
  of 
  time, 
  but 
  just 
  for 
  a 
  few 
  

   days 
  you 
  could, 
  in 
  an 
  ordinary 
  refrigerator. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  When 
  you 
  cut 
  your 
  scions 
  in 
  the 
  winter 
  for 
  

   future 
  use, 
  you 
  should 
  keep 
  them 
  down 
  pretty 
  close 
  to 
  freezing. 
  

   I 
  used 
  scions 
  in 
  Maryland 
  this 
  spring 
  cut 
  last 
  February 
  in 
  this 
  local- 
  

   ity. 
  We 
  put 
  them 
  in 
  cold 
  storage 
  and 
  kept 
  them 
  there 
  until 
  April. 
  

   Then 
  they 
  were 
  taken 
  out 
  and 
  shipped 
  to 
  me 
  in 
  Washington. 
  They 
  

   arrived 
  in 
  perfect 
  condition 
  and 
  I 
  took 
  them 
  to 
  a 
  big 
  green 
  house 
  

   across 
  the 
  street 
  and 
  put 
  them 
  in 
  a 
  long 
  box 
  and 
  set 
  them 
  up 
  in 
  

   the 
  big 
  refrigerator 
  where 
  they 
  kept 
  their 
  buds. 
  I 
  had 
  these 
  within 
  

   two 
  inches 
  of 
  a 
  thousand 
  pounds 
  of 
  ice 
  and 
  the 
  Green 
  River 
  pro- 
  

   ceeded 
  to 
  grow 
  within 
  two 
  weeks. 
  You 
  have 
  to 
  keep 
  them 
  in 
  cold 
  

   storage. 
  It 
  is 
  so 
  cheap, 
  however, 
  in 
  Evansville 
  that 
  there 
  is 
  no 
  

   excuse 
  not 
  to 
  keep 
  them 
  in 
  perfect 
  condition. 
  These 
  cold 
  storage 
  

   people 
  here, 
  Holt 
  & 
  Brandon, 
  are 
  very 
  fine 
  people. 
  We 
  have 
  kept 
  

   very 
  large 
  amounts 
  of 
  bud 
  wood 
  there 
  and 
  their 
  charges 
  have 
  been 
  

   very 
  small. 
  

  

  Before 
  we 
  get 
  through 
  I 
  want 
  to 
  call 
  your 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  rest 
  

   of 
  the 
  program. 
  Immediately 
  after 
  adjournment 
  there 
  will 
  be 
  

   automobiles 
  waiting 
  to 
  take 
  all 
  who 
  want 
  to 
  go 
  sight 
  seeing 
  in 
  Evans- 
  

   ville. 
  This

  of 
  the 
  Evansville 
  Business 
  Associa- 
  

   tion. 
  I 
  want 
  especially 
  again 
  to 
  call 
  your 
  attention 
  to 
  the 
  lecture 
  

   tonight 
  by 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  A. 
  Reed, 
  and 
  for 
  fear 
  that 
  those 
  here 
  may 
  have 
  

   an 
  idea 
  that 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  strictly 
  technical 
  I 
  wish 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  he 
  will 
  

   avoid 
  technicalities 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  possible. 
  He 
  has 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  finest 
  

   collections 
  of 
  lantern 
  slides 
  I 
  have 
  ever 
  seen. 
  He 
  will 
  take 
  you 
  to 
  

   the 
  walnut 
  regions 
  of 
  California 
  and 
  to 
  nut 
  regions 
  all 
  over 
  the 
  

   United 
  States. 
  Any 
  questions 
  asked 
  him 
  will 
  be 
  cheerfully 
  an- 
  

   swered 
  but 
  I 
  would 
  suggest 
  that 
  unless 
  there 
  is 
  something 
  extremely 
  

   important, 
  you 
  reserve 
  your 
  questions 
  until 
  the 
  conclusion 
  of 
  his 
  

   talk 
  and 
  not 
  interrupt 
  unnecessarily 
  because 
  there 
  are 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  

   slides 
  to 
  get 
  through 
  with. 
  Those 
  of 
  you 
  who 
  are 
  here, 
  come 
  to- 
  

   night 
  and 
  bring 
  your 
  friends, 
  bring 
  the 
  ladies 
  and 
  children 
  and 
  

   everybody 
  else, 
  because 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  interesting 
  and 
  educative 
  gen- 
  

   erally. 
  Do 
  not 
  forget 
  that 
  we 
  leave 
  in 
  the 
  morning 
  at 
  7:15, 
  not 
  

   16, 
  nor 
  26; 
  that 
  car 
  will 
  leave 
  at 
  7:15 
  and 
  if 
  you 
  will 
  be 
  there 
  on
