AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF 



NURSERYMEN. 



Perhaps the most significant and 

 far-reaching movement connected with 

 the convention at Chicago was the 

 Market Development plan, which was 

 very earnestly advocated and auspici- 

 ously boosted. For the prosecution of 

 a systematic campaign, sixteen direc- 

 tors were elected by the first sub- 

 scribers to the fund by a mail ballot 

 recently, and these names were con- 

 firmed by the subscribers at a special 

 meeting held during the convention, 

 who met and formed a permanent or- 

 ganization by electing an executive 

 committee, composed of John Watson, 

 Princeton, N. J., Robert Pyle, West 

 Grove, Pa., C. C. Burr, Manchester, N. 

 H., E. C. Welch, Shenandoah, Iowa, 

 and O. Joe Howard, Pomona, N. C. 

 Mr. Watson was chosen temporary 

 president and Mr. Pyle temporary 

 secretary of the organization. The 

 other directors who had been chosen 

 are: J. Edward Moon, Morrisville, 

 Pa.; Paul Stark, Louisiana, Missouri: 

 P. L. Atkins, Rutherford, N. J,; W. C. 

 Harrison, Painesville, Ohio; T. B. 

 Meehan, Dresher, Pa.; H. B. Chase, 

 Chase, Ala.; J. B. Pilkington, Port- 

 land, Ore.; W. F. Ilgenfritz, Monroe, 

 Mich.; M. R. Cashman, Owatonna, 

 Minn.; George C. Roeding, Fresno, 

 Calif., and C. C. Mayhew, Sherman, 

 Texas. A committee consisting of J. 

 Edward Moon, F. L. Atkins and C. C. 

 Burr were appointed to provide for 

 the incorporation of the Market De- 

 velopment Organization. 



The complete list of subscribers to 



date is as follows. These are, with 



one or two exceptions annual for five 



years, although some of the names for 



smaller amounts appear in the list of
