NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GAR- 

 DENERS 



Annual Meeting Held at St. Louis — 

 Much Important Business Transact 

 ed— New York Selected for Next 

 Convention. 



The annual convention o£ the Xh- 

 tional Association of Gardeners was 

 held at the Hotel Marquette, St. Louis. 

 Sept. 14-16, and much important bu.si- 

 ness transacted. 



Dr. Moore, director of the St. Louis 

 Botanical Garden, welcomed the vis- 

 itors. 



W. N. Craig, ot Boston, in his report 

 of the Quarantine Committee, an- 

 nounced that a committee of country 

 estate owners had been organized to 

 support the association in its attempt 

 to secure modifications of the Federal 

 Horticultural Board's drastic rulings 

 The work of the committee was en- 

 dorsed and the committee authorized 

 to proceed In its labors. Those pres- 

 ent took the stand that as Americans 

 they stood for all things American, al 

 though with safety first in all that 

 concerns the country. 



It was voted to start a countrywide 

 propaganda to create public sentiment 

 against signboards and to interest na- 

 tional advertisers in the matter so as 

 to keep them from desecrating the 

 highways. 



In the course of the convention a 

 reception and a largely attended ban- 

 quet was held. The delegates visited 

 the floral display houses of the Botan- 

 ical Garden, and on Thursday listened 

 to an address by .T. Horace McFarland 



of Harrlsburg, Pa., who was the asso- 

 ciation's luncheon guest. Many of the 

 fine estates around St. Louis as well 

 as the Park System were visited, and 

 on Thursday evening there was a bar- 

 becue at Forrest Park. 



On Wednesday, the following offi- 

 cers were elected: President, W. N. 

 Craig, Faulkner Farm, Brookline, 

 Mass.; Vice-president, George H. 

 Pring, St. Louis, Mo.; Treasurer, Peter 

 Duff, Orange, N. J.; M. C. Ebel, Madi- 

 son, N. J. was reelected Secretary.

The first meeting of the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of Boston for th(» 

 season will be held at Horticultural 

 Hall, Tuesday evening, Sept. 21.

 eral florists in that section took a 

 prominent part, among them being E. 

 .'\llen Peirce and Frank Edgar. Henry 

 Stewart also did much to make the 

 show a success.
