RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE 



NATIONAL ASSOCIATION 



OF GARDENERS 



The following resolutions were ad- 

 opted by the National Asociation of 

 Gardeners at its recent convention in 

 St. Louis: 



WHEREAS, it has become quite 

 evident that it sign board interests 

 are permitted to continue unmolested 

 they will soon succeed in the despolia- 

 tion of the beauties of the natural 

 scenery along our high\vays, 



THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, 

 that the National Association of Gar- 

 deners take the initiative to institute 

 a country wide propaganda to arouse 

 an indignant public sentiment against 

 the sign board interests, and certain 

 national advertisers who are with un- 

 sightly sign boards defacing the land- 

 scape views along our highways, and 



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, 

 that the National Assocation of Gar- 

 deners invites all other organizations, 

 interested in having the natural 

 scenery along the country's highways, 

 protected and conserved, to co-operate 

 with It in suppressing the sign board 

 vandalism. 



NEW SOURCE OF MOSS 

 A new source of moss seems to have 

 been discovered in Mason County. 

 Washington. One of the papers con- 

 tains the following: 



"Another heretofore wasted natural 

 resource common in Mason County has 

 found commercial importance and has 

 , added that much to the avenues of 

 making some extra money by the 

 rancher. The latest Is the moss which 

 grows thick on the maple trees in the 

 shaded valleys and which is in de- 

 maud for packing purposes by florists 

 and nurserymen. 



"This week a shipment of some 300 

 bales gathered in the Skokomish Val- 

 ley was shipped from Union City to 

 San Francisco, the average weight of 

 the bale being 75 pounds, bringing 

 about 3 cents a pound. As the moss 

 is found in large qustatities conven- 

 ient to the road in the Skokomish Val- 

 ley it was gathered and brought to a 

 central place, where it was baled in 

 an ordinary hay baler and hauled by 

 trucks." 



Frank B. Smith has opened a new 

 store at 33 King street, West Hamil- 

 ton, Ont. He has the new store com- 

 pletely equipped, which is very attrac- 

 tive, much use having been made of 

 mirrors to set off the interior decora- 

 tions. For several years Mr. Smith 

 was manager of the John Connon 

 Store.
