The annual meeting of the Texas Nurs- 

 erymen 's Association was held at Waco, 

 September 25 and 26. 



There are bargains in nurseries to be 

 had, as "well as in nursery stock, accord- 

 ing to the For Sale department in The 

 Review. 



If we did business in a certain town in 

 Michigan our printed matter would carry 

 a declaration of business principles 

 headed "Our Monroe Doctrine." 



The New York Agricultural Experi- 

 ment Station has printed two bulletins of 

 interest to nurserymen who make a spe- 

 cialty of grapevines. One of them is en- 

 titled "Why and When Winter Kills 

 Grapes," and the other is "European 

 Grapes Succeed in New York." 



Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber & 

 Sons Nursery Co., St. Louis, Mo., has re- 

 turned from a trip through the eastern 

 states. He reported that the nurserymen 

 in that section were prepared for an un- 

 usually busy fall, but that at most places 

 there was a shortage of labor, a condi- 

 tion that is reported from many other 

 places. 



Several readers recently have had oc- 

 casion to send The Review copies of the 

 agreements with agents employed in the 

 nursery business. The principal differ- 

 ence ai)pears to be that some of the con- 

 tracts still iji elude this paragraph: "In 

 addition to the commission stated, the 

 salesman may use nursery stock to pay 

 for his meals and lodging while canvass- 

 ing, for which the company will make no 

 charge. ' ' In olden times editors took 

 their pay in produce. 



EESIONATION NOT ACCEPTED. 



The resignation of Major L. C. Stark 

 as president of the American Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen has not been ac- 

 cepted by the executive committee, in 

 the hope that he might be induced to
