which brought out considerable discus- 

 Bion. 



The annual dinner was well attended 

 and was enlivened by an excellent and 

 humorous address by P. F. Koster. In 

 the evening J. Horace McFarland lec- 

 tured before a large and enthusiastic 

 audience on "How to Make New Eng- 

 land More Fruitful and Beautiful," 

 Showing many beautiful pictures to il- 

 lustrate his remarks. 



January 29 E. J. Canning, of North- 

 ampton, read an excellent paper. His 

 subject was, "Are we Growing Enough 

 High Grade Ornamentals?" He esti- 

 mated that the New England growers 

 ■devoted ninety per cent of their acre- 

 age to ornamentals and ten per cent to 

 fruits. 



J. K. M. L. Farquhar, who was intro- 

 duced as a new member of the associa- 

 tion, paid his respects to the Federal 

 Horticultural Board. 



Ornamentals Introduced. 



William H. Judd, of the Arnold Ar- 

 boretum, presented an able paper on 

 "New Ornamentals of Great Merit for 

 New England." He expressed aston- 

 ishment at the apathy of nurserymen in 

 taking hold of the many new and beau- 

 tiful Chinese and other plants intro- 

 duced through the Arnold Arboretum. 

 An animated discussion followed Mr. 

 Judd's paper, several speakers dwell- 

 ing on the difficulty experienced in 

 making any money from nursery novel- 

 ties. J. Edward Moon, referring to 

 these new varieties, said, in part, that 

 the introducers, so to speak, had the 

 manuscript and we were asked to do 

 the publishing, but we could not get a 

 copyright. The manufacturer might 

 patent the article he makes and get pro- 

 tection which would warrant him in 

 erecting a factory and advertising his 

 product, but the nurseryman who put 

 his money into developing trade in a 

 new plant or shrub created a market 

 in which all may share. Mr. Moon 

 warmly praised the work done by the 

 arboretum. 



William W. Cotton, of Newton, read 

 an excellent paper on "Living Monu- 

 ments for Our Soldiers." State For- 

 ester F. W. Bane and others spoke in 

 the resultant discussion. Ernest F. 

 Coe, of New Haven, spoke entertain- 

 ingly on "Should Growers of Ornamen- 

 tals Specialize Moret" and C. H. 

 Greaton, of Providence, gave a splendid 

 humorous talk on "The Nurseryman's 

 Outlook for 1919." 



Election of Officers. 



Officers for 1919 were elected as fol- 

 lows: President, C. B. Burr, Manches- 

 ter, Conn.; vice-president, Charles 

 Adams, Springfield, Mass.; secretary, B. 

 M. Wyman, ^amingham, Mass.; treas-

 Members of the executive committee 

 were chosen as follows: A. E. Bobin- 

 son, Lexington, Mass.; E. T. Coe, New 

 Haven, Conn., and 0. K Dow, Bar Har> 

 bor, Me.

Echoes of the Convention. 



In his address before the Tennessee 

 Nurserymen at their annual convention 

 at Nashville, January 30, President 

 Poague called the attention of the mem- 

 bers to the importance of incorporating 

 the association and asking the state for 

 an appropriation to enable it to do gen- 

 eral work in forwarding the interests of 

 the fruit industry of the state. He spoke 

 of the great work the associations in 

 some of the northern and western states 

 have done and said there was no reason 

 why we might not do as valuable a 

 work here. He advised the nurserymen 

 to recommend a reliable list of fruit 

 trees for home orchards and to give the 

 list wide publicity. He stated that as 

 a result of following such a plan in Ala- 

 bama last year the sale of nursery 

 stock was more than doubled. Nebraska 

 nurserymen have had a similar experi- 

 ence. He asked that the^ nurserymen 

 give time and thought at this meeting to 

 making up such a list.

and Beautiful" brought out the fact 

 that we are sadly neglecting many of our 

 native shrubs and flowers that are far 

 superior in decorative effect to the many 

 we ship in from other countries, which 

 succeed only fairly here. She said that 

 as a result of this condition many people 

 who pay a good price for plants and 

 fruits not suited to our climate, people 

 or soil are discouraged from trying 

 again. 



Her paper was followed by a general 

 discussion on ornamentals. Much inter- 

 est centered around the red cedar, as it 

 is one of our best native ornamentals, 

 but at the same time it is in great dis- 

 favor with the fruit growers as a car- 

 rier of rust. The urgent need of the 

 nurserymen of the state increasing their 

 plantings of ornamentals was empha- 

 sized in view of the quarantine that is 

 so soon to go into effect. 



Much time was spent discussing the
