(lent introduced Mr. Ebel. wh.. rcail a paper 

 on the Gardener's Opportunity. Tliis 

 brought forth a number of discussions. Jlr. 

 Ebel particularly discussed the college grad- 

 uate and the gardener of practical knowl- 

 edge, stating that the young men in tlie 

 profession today must get busy and study 

 the scientific methods of gardening if they 

 want to be on an even basis with the col- 

 lege graduates. 



Mr. Ebel was voted a hearty vote of 

 thanks; and the members expressed them- 

 selves that they would be very glad to have 

 more men like Mr. Ebel come to our meet- 

 ings and discuss the subject of the oppor- 

 tunities of the gardeners, for we do believe 

 that if this subject were taken up through- 

 out the entire country it would be of 

 great benefit to all gardeners.
