called the drive nozzle, and I think that for very tall trees 

 that is much preferable to the other; but wherever I could 

 reach the tops of trees with the ordinary disc nozzle I should 

 not use the drive nozzle. 



A Member. It seems to me that that question can be 

 answered that if you do much spraying you must use both. 

 (If there is air stirring you must use the drive and cannot 

 spray with the mist nozzle, but if it is a calm day you can 

 do better work with the mist. 



Pres. We will take up the date of the annual meeting. 

 The committee which reported yesterday has some recom- 

 mendations. Shall we hear from the committee? Mr. 

 Kinney. 



Mr. Kinney. Mr. President and Gentlemen: When I 

 reported yesterday morning I was a little bit worried be- 

 cause I knew that there was a division of opinion and it 

 was liable to make hard feelings, but it seems to me that we 

 have come to an agreement where all should be satisfied. 

 We have decided that there is no necessity for changing the 

 constitution. We feel that it would be desirable to hold 

 the annual meeting in Worcester as formerly with a one- 

 day session only, on the same date as now, the second Wed- 

 nesday in March. We can have a two-days meeting hell 

 wherever and whenever it may seem desirable. Of course^ 

 we have had the meeting here for a great many years, bat 

 ■flf it is an advantage for us to have it held here it may also 

 be an advantage to hold it elsewhere, and this will leave it 

 so that it can be held where it is best. I think Mr. Frost 

 has a proposition. 



Mr. Frost. We have invitations here today to hold our 

 meeting in Boston. A number of us have talked this mat- 

 ter over, the date of the meetings, and Mdiere to hold them 

 and we have thought, after conferring with some members 

 of the Worcester Horticultural Society, that it may be ad- 

 visable for us to hold our annual meeting here in Worces- 

 ter, at which time we elect our officers, but to hold our twa 

 days meeting perhaps in other parts of the state where we 

 may be invited. In this way we can hold our two days ses- 

 sion early in the winter, when we can all get away easier 

 and hold the short meeting in March, with the Worcester 

 Horticultural Society, and at that time elect our officers.
