CONNECTICUT NURSERYMEN'S AS- 

 SOCIATION 



The Connecticut Nurserymen's Asso- 

 liation held their summer outing at 

 Irfike Compounce. August 11, 192ii. 



Owing to the inolemency of the 

 weather the attendance was not quite 

 so large as usual, but those present 

 enjoyed the outing and especially the 

 "get-together" part. 



It seemed to be the universal opin- 

 ion that the otlier nurserymen anil 

 florists of the state — not now members 

 of the Association — were not aware 

 of the benefits they couUl derive from 

 attending the meetings and outings ot 

 this Association, or they would malie 

 more of an effort to accept the cordial 

 invitation, sent them, to convene 

 with us. 



These "get-together" meetings cer- 

 tainly do make for the betterment of 

 any line of business. They are edu- 

 cators, they arfe friend makers, not 

 only in the line of business but so 

 cially as well, and the short loss of 

 time, in attending, is repaid a hun- 

 dred-fold in the benefits gained. 



We hope, therefore, that the Con- 

 necticut Nurserymen and Florists will 

 make a strong effort to accept the next 

 Invitation sent them to attend a meet- 

 ing or an outing of this Association. 



At a short business meeting fthe 

 ■regular annual business meeting early 

 in the year had to be postponed ow- 

 ing to illness of officers) it was voted 

 that the present officials continue in 

 their respective offices rmtil the next 

 regular annual meeting in .Tanuary. 

 1921. 



The present officers of the .Associa-

President, C. F. Brainerd. Thomp- 

 sonville. Conn.: vice-president. H. W. 

 Gotschalk. Manchester, Conn.: secre-
