The Florists' Review 



Jdlt 6, 1916. 



the vice-president in each state to ap- 

 point a committee of not more than five 

 reputable nurserymen of his state to 

 act with him in preparing a list of all 

 the bona fide nurserymen in his state. 

 These lists are to be forwarded to the 

 secretary for publication and distribu- 

 tion to members. Before the work is 

 begun a rule will be laid down for the 

 guidance of all the committees, so that 

 the work will be uniform. 



This action was taken following the 

 paper of J. H. Dayton, of Painesville, 

 on "Who Should Get Trade Prices," in 

 which he made it appear that the list 

 now most generally used contains the 

 names of as many farmers as nursery- 

 men in his state, Ohio. 



Publicity Is Planned. 



One of the sessions was devoted to 

 the discussion of publicity, meaning 

 rather general publicity for nursery 

 products than individual publicity for 

 nurserymen, although the latter re- 

 ceived some attention. So deep an im- 

 pression was made that at the closing 

 session steps were taken to organize a 

 campaign to cover five years and to 

 cost approximately $100,000. The pur- 

 pose is to create greater interest in 

 nursery products, to promote the city, 

 town and country beautiful idea and to 

 increase the use of and sale for plants 

 of all kinds. The funds are to be raised 

 by subscription. 



Inspection and Legislation. 



A large part of the program had to 

 do with inspection and legislation, as 

 has been the case for several years, but 

 the interest was distinctly on the. wane ; 

 laws are no less numerous and no less 

 confusing or harassing, but the sus- 

 ceptibilities of nurserymen have become 

 blunted by familiarity. No action was 

 taken beyond continuing the usual com- 

 mittees and retaining counsel to keep 

 track of and shape such matters as may 

 be possible for the interests of the 

 trade. 



National Protective Association. 



The American Nurserymen's Protec- 

 tive Association held its annual meet- 

 ing June 28, in connection with the 

 A. A. N. convention at Milwaukee, and

Retailers' Protective Association. 



The American Retail Nurserymen's 

 Association held its annual love feast 

 June 28, at Milwaukee, in connection 

 with the A. A. N. convention. The 

 affairs of the organization run along so 

 smoothly that there is never anything 

 more to do than reelect the old officers, 

 which was duly done last week. They

 ton, Neb.
