desirable varieties it was decided to 

 leave action on this matter in tlie 

 hands of the individual nurserymen 

 to cull out the varieties they thought 

 were not suited to their districts. 

 Owing to the higher cost of labor and 

 other rising prices it was the con- 

 census of the convention's opinion that 

 it would be necessary to advance 

 prices for nursery stock and an agree- 

 ment to this effect was reached. To 

 bring about a plan for educational 

 work to promote the planting of more 

 ornamental trees it was decided to 

 enlist the cooperation of the commer- 

 cial organizations in the various 

 Northwest states and a committee con- 

 sisting of F. A. Wiggins of Toppenish, 

 E. F. Stephens of Nampa, Idaho, John 

 A. McGee of Orenco, Richard Layritz 

 of Victoria, B. C, C. I. Lewis of Cor- 

 vallis and Bert Miller of Milton, w^as 

 appointed for this purpose. 



Valuable information was given the 

 members in attendance on the subject 

 of "Pollination," by Prof. C. I. Lewis, 

 horticulturist at the Oregon Agricul- 

 tural College and also in regard to 

 plans for beautifying highways and 

 private grounds by the planting of or- 

 namental trees. C. J. Atwood, of Top- 

 penish, Wash., presided at the meet- 

 ing and C. A. Tonneson, of Burton, 

 Wash., was secretary. 



It Is unofficially stated that not over 

 one per cent of the projected plant- 

 ings of fruits in the Northwest will be 

 possible this year owing to the short- 

 age of stock on the Pacific Coast and 

 that prices for stock on this account 

 ■will rule high.
