To conduct an educational campaign 

 to better acquaint farmers in the south 

 with the science of cultivating flowers 

 and fruits, was the topic of much dis- 

 cussion at the convention. It was de- 

 cided to publish a pamphlet monthly, 

 which is intended to be a textbook on 

 the subject for farmers. The question 

 of. the responsibility of nurseries in 

 their dealings through agents brought 

 forth a lively discussion in which vari- 

 ous plans of handling stock through 

 agents were explained. 



One of the features of the night ses- 

 sion of the first day was the presenta- 

 tion of a publicity plan by St. Elmo

mond, Va., delivered a stirring address 

 entitled "Better Prices or Quit!" 

 Three Tennesseeans made addresses at 

 the convention. They were W, A. 

 Easterly, of Cleveland, Tenn., on "The 

 Betterment and Uplift of Our Profes- 

 sion;" A. D. Knox, of Nashville, on 

 "Cooperation Between Nurserymen and 

 Farmers of the South;" Harry Nichol- 

 son, of Winchester, on "Grafting Apple 

 on Japan Pear Stocks." Other speak- 

 ers were Lloyd C. Stark, of Louisiana, 

 Mo., and Curtis Nye Smith, of Boston. 

 The seventy-five members in attend- 



ance were given an automobile ride 

 over the city on the afternoon of the 

 last day of the convention. Previously 

 they had visited the Southeastern fair 

 grounds, at Lakewood, as guests of the 

 Atlanta Chamber of Commerce. The 

 hospitality of the city to the visitors 

 was so royal that it was unanimously 

 voted to hold next year's convention 

 at Atlanta. Many pledged themselves 

 to attend the 1917 convention of the 

 national body and do all in their power 

 to bring that organization 's 1918 meet- 

 ing to Atlanta.
