qu«stion of cutting down the list of va- 

 rieties of fruits grown by the nurseries. 

 Many varieties are of little value and it 

 is to the interest of no one for these to 

 be listed. It was agreed to cut the lists 

 in 1920. 



In view of the incorporation of the 

 society and the legislative work needed, 

 *11 of the old officers were reelected. 



Plans and Prospects. 



Eobert Chase, of the Chase Nursery 

 Co;, Chase, Ala., gave an interesting dis- 

 cussion of "The Outlook for the 

 Future. ' ' He said that as a result of the 

 oversupply of fruit trees for a few years 

 before the war, growers had cut down 

 production. Five or six years ago 

 nurserymen were burning surplus trees 

 by the carload. The last year help has 

 been so scarce that it was impossible to 

 grow much stock. Today he said that 

 he did not believe there was a carload 

 of Japanese plums in the United States 

 and other stock is almost as scarce. 

 Peaches are especially scarce. The 

 spring business faces us with all of our 

 varieties already sold short. As seed- 

 lings and cuttings can no longer come 

 in from Europe, and as it will neces- 

 sarily take time to get things into shape 

 to grow our own propagating stock, 

 prices are sure to be high for some time 

 to come. Perhaps the public may be- 

 come accustomed to paying more nearly 

 what it is worth to produce good trees 

 and as a result the growers will produce 

 better stock. All will be benefited in 

 the end. 



Miss E. B. Drake, whose nursery is 

 at Winchester," gave an interesting paper 

 on "The Salvage of the War." She 

 brought out the fact that hundreds of 

 thousands of our boys are coming home 

 who have seen the wonderful grounds 

 and orchards of France. Many of them 

 never before have known that it was pos- 

 sible to have a country so beautiful, or 

 to grow such an abundance of fruit. 

 When they come home they are sure to 

 demand such things in their own homes. 

 As nurserymen we must prepare for the 

 business that is sure to come. 



Professor Harry Clark, of the Ten- 

 nessee State University, gave one of the 

 best talks we have ever heard on "The 

 Necessity of Cooperation." He showed 

 that most of the trouble in the world 

 today exists because we have not learned 

 to cooperate. Then he spoke of the ef- 

 fects of the lack of cooperation on the 

 nursery business in particular. A spirit- 

 ed discussion followed the talk and it is 

 to be hoped that lasting results may 

 come to at least a part of the nursery- 

 men present. F. B. 



What arc they? 



They are 4-iiich reproductions of Fraternal Emblems embossed in sold and the 

 colors demanded by each Fraternal Order 



How are they used? 



They are attached to the ribbon or chiffon of any floral offering. 



Why are they of such help to the Florist? 



They save flowers, as the colors demanded by each Order are embossed on the Frat-M, 

 They save wire desijlns; for instance, any plain spray with a Frat-M attached 

 becomes a fraternal piece. Think of what this means, with a shortage of wire and 

 flowers as scarce and high as theyare everywhere this winter. They save lettering. 

 Think of that. If attached to door badges alone, they are worth many times their cost. 



What do they cost? 



They cost 20c each, or $2.00 a dozen caah. and should retail for 50c each, or $6.00 per 

 dozen. Ad order of two dozen ($4.00 cash) gets the exclusive use of Frat-M's for one 

 year in cities of 25,000 or less. They can be bought from your wholesale supply 

 house, or the
