CLEVELAND CONFERENCE POSTPONED 



The proposed gardeners' conference to be held in Cleveland 

 fkiring the Mational b'lcwer Show has been postponed because 

 iif the unfortunate condition of not being able to use the new 

 city huilchn.g on the dates planned, and the necessary removal 

 of the show from Cleveland to another city. Indianapolis has 

 been selected as the city for the show. The sudden change has 

 naturally upset all plans of the garden fraternity, but the hope 

 has been expressed that an opportunity will soon present itself 

 when a gardeners' conference, under the auspices of the members 

 of the association located in and near Cleveland can be held. 



OPENINGS FOR APPRENTICES 



The Secretary's office has quite a nuinber of applications from 

 young men in different parts of the country who are eager 

 to take up the work of gardening as apprentices. These young 

 men have had a fairly good education — grammar school and 

 one or two years of high school. Some have had no practical 

 experience in gardening, but others have spent Summers in 

 gaining a little knowledge of gardening. .Ml express a desire 

 to take up this work as their life's profession, and the Secretary 



would be glad to learn of any one who can accommodate one 

 or more of these young men as apprentices. 



BOOST YOUR ASSOCIATION 



Won't you help our association hy talking of it among the 

 gardening fraternity in your locality? From time to time re- 

 cently, the Secretary's office has had more than the usual number 

 of visits from gardeners who remark that while they had lived 

 ni such and such a place for some time they had only iust 

 learned of the existence of the association. 



In your neighborhood there are surely gardeners who would 

 be interested in the association if some one called their attention 

 to it. When you meet a gardener who is not familiar with 

 the N. A. G. tell him of its purposes, and endeavor to enroll 

 him as a member. Increased membership means increased co- 

 operation among the gardeners in this country, and it is only 

 through co-operation that the association can carry out its aims. 



JOSIAH TAYLOR MARFAN 



Horticulture lias sustained a distinct and grevious loss in the 

 passing away at the age of 79, of ex-Supreme Court Justice 

 Josiah T. Marean, of iTrooklyii, .\. V., and Greens b-arms. Con- 

 necticut. He died on Wednesday, February 8th, at Winter Park, 

 Fla. 



The burial services were conducted from the First Presbyterian 

 Church. Brooklyn, N. Y., on Monday, February 13th. .\ large 

 nuinber of Supreme Court Judges were in attendance as pall 

 bearers including the following: Abel E. Blackmar, Presiding 

 Judge of the Appellate Div. ; William J. Kelley, David F. Man- 

 ning, Edward Lazansky, Nortnan S. Dike, Almet F. Jenks, 

 .'\iigustus Van Wyck, Lester W. Clark, Edward B. Thomas, 

 Martin W. Littleton, James Shevlin, John E. McCooey, James 

 D. Scsscnven, Stephen S. Baldwin. 



JAMES C. GARDINER 



The Secretary has been requested to make mention of the 

 death of James C. Gardiner on December 23, last. At the time 

 of his passing away, Mr. Gardiner was superintendent of Mill- 

 crest Farm, Gibsonia. Pa. Mr. Gardiner was well known in 

 Sewickley where he had been employed as head gardener for 

 nine years on the G. H. Singer estate. 



AMONG THE GARDENERS 



The Secretary has received a letter from Charles R. 'Waugh 

 of Santa Barbara, Cal., announcing his return from an enjoyable 

 trip to Scotland, and expressing the keen interest he had in the 

 New York convention. 



Mrs. John Scheepers, after a severe illness of more than two 

 months, is now slowly gaining on the road to recovery. 



THE ASSOCIATION AT THE NEW YORK SPRING 

 FLOWER SHOW 



The National Association of Gardeners has again taken space 

 at the New '^'ork Spring Flower Show, which will be held at the 

 Grand Central Palace, March 13 to 19. The publicity which came 

 to the association through its booth at last year's show made it 

 worth while to engage space again, especially .so as the estate 

 owners themselves are actively interested in the success of the 

 International Show for 1922. The same desirable location which 

 the association occupied last year was secured again. 



Throughout the entire show the booth will be open to receive 

 estate owners and others who are in any way interested in the 

 profession of gardening, and in the activities of its national organi- 

 zation. Those in charge will be glad to give information on any 

 subject rela*^ing to the gardening profession and to the employ- 

 ment of trustworthy, reliable and efficient gardeners.
