MERRY CHRISTMAS 



FIVE YEARS AGO we offered you Pocahontas, with the assurance that it would soon displace all other 



crimsons. Some of you bought it and were glad. Others turned it down and later on regretted having done 



so. That is why the demand for the cuttings was fully double the supply this past winter. This is not 



meant for a complaint, but merely to caution you not to make the same mistake with Merry Christmas. We 



believe that Merry Christmas will take the same place among scarlets that Pocahontas holds among the 

 crimsons. If you have confidence in our judgment, send us your order now and get in on the early deliveries. Dissemina- 

 tion begins next December.

PACIFIC COAST ASSOCIATION. 



The Pacific Coast Association of Nur- 

 serymen held its annual meeting at 

 Medford, Ore., June 20 to 22. It was a 

 business session, no program having 

 been announced, devoted exclusively to 

 a discussion of the affairs of the asso- 

 ciation and of its members in dealing 

 with each other and with the public. 

 As a part of the work the Southern 

 Oregon Experiment Station and local 

 orchards and nurseries were inspected. 

 The following officers were elected: 



President — F. W. Wiggins, Toppenish, 

 Wash. 



Vice-presidents — B. A. Mitchell, 

 Orenco, Ore.; A. L. Wister, Grass Val- 

 ley, Cal.; P. A. Dix, Roy, Utah; Chas. 

 T. Hawkes, Caldwell, Idaho; D. J. 

 Tighe, Billings, Mont.; F. H. Burghe- 

 haus, Sumner, Wash.; Richard Layritz, 

 Victoria, B. C. 



Secretary-treasurer — C. . A. Tonneson, 

 Tacoma, Wash. 



Executive committee — A. Brownell, 

 Portland; Geo. C. Roeding, Fresno, Cal., 

 and S. A. Miller, Milton, Ore. 



Kittanning, Pa.— The Chula Vista 

 Ranch Co., which has been doing a small 

 florists' business aside from its other 

 interests, intends to invest in more 

 greenhouses this summer for growing 

 stock for retail. 



Onarga, 111. — The Gould Co., which 

 grows only for the wholesale cut flower 

 market, has had a successful peony sea- 

 son. In addition to the local field, the 

 company has plantations at Grayville, 

 in southern Illinois, and at Halls, Tenn., 

 so that cutting covers more than a 

 month. 



Edwardsville, lU. — The long and 

 short of the matter is that Emil Klein 

 one day met Miss Blanche Miller, a 

 school-teacher. Came a period of court- 

 ship, which terminated last month to 

 the tune of wedding bells. Then fol- 

 lowed two weeks' honeymoon to Mil- 

 waukee and other northern points. Mr. 

 and Mrs. Klein now are "at home."
