Names without Post Office Addresses. 

 The following persons have sent in their 

 money to this office without giving their post 

 office addresses, viz :— W. W. Collins, John 

 Kerr, Edwin Grainger. 



The Mills grape vines were not so large 

 as we expected and therefore for the most 

 part we have been able to send them by 

 mail, notwithstanding what vv'e said in the 

 circular. We hope for fine stock for 1891. 



The Summer Meeting of the Ontario 

 Fruit Growers' Association will be held at 

 Niagara-on-the-Lake, beginning on Tuesday 

 evening, the 8th of July. A very interest- 

 ing programme is being prepared, a copy of 

 which will be sent by mail to any one apply- 

 ing for it by card to the Secretary. 



Weekly Market Bulletin. — It is pro- 

 posed to issue a Weekly Market Bulletin 

 to all members of our Association who 

 wish it, beginning with the month of July. 

 The object is keep our growers posted on 

 Canadian and foreign markets during ship- 

 ping season. Would those who want us to 

 make this attempt please send a post card 

 asking to be on the list. If encouragement 

 is sufficient we will proceed. No one will 

 receive it without applying for it. 



The Plant Distribution may be worked 

 to better satisfaction, we hope, next year, 



by combining the old system of sending out 

 larger stock by express, with the present 

 one of mailing small plants. Any club of 

 five or more might agree to have them by 

 express, in which case we could as well 

 prepay the express charges, as pack and mail 

 thestock separately. Anyone whose plant has 

 come to hand in bad condition may have it 

 replaced another year without charge ; we 

 have our contracts with honorable nursery- 

 men, but of so many a few may be poorly 

 packed. 



The fifteenth annual meeting of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Nurserymen, which con- 

 venes at the Park Avenue Hotel, New York 

 City, June 4th, promises to be a notable 

 event. Twenty-five practical men will be 

 present with off-hand talks, or papers on 

 topics of great interest, including Professors 

 I. P. Roberts, L. H, Bailey, J. L. Budd, B. 

 E. Fernow, B. T. Galloway. Also, Hon. 

 H, E. Van Deman, Chief of the Division of 

 Pomology, A. S. Fuller, and many of the 

 eloquent and silvery-voiced speakers so well 

 known to nurserymen. Three hundred or 

 more members will discuss the subjects pre- 

 sented. Reduced fare has been secured on 

 all railroads east of Chicago, and reduced 

 prices also at the new fire-proof hotel. For 

 particulars address Chas. A, Green, Secre- 

 tary, Rochester, N. Y.
