 but when he opens his mouth he says 

 something and he knows how to write. 

 This is merely a suggestion. 



BUBEAU'S PIiACf PBOGBESSES. 



Much Work A^Lcad. 



The work of the Nurserymen's Na- 

 tional Service Bureau is progressing sat- 

 isfactorily, according to F. F. Eockwell, 

 manager, though he believes that it will 

 be necessary to do a considerable amount 

 of organizing in the nursery trade itself 

 before there is a solid foundation for 

 market development work, now being 

 started by the bureau. 



An effort is to be made by Mr. Eock- 

 well to induce the committee of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 which has jurisdiction over his bureau 

 to sanction a plan for making the month 

 of June a market development and trade 

 organization month. 



"I think it would be a good idea if 

 everyone interested would ^itch in and 

 do everything possible to get market 

 development and trade organization 

 talked about and discussed," says Mr. 

 Eockwell, "for two or three weeks pre- 

 ceding the convention in Chicago."
