 1878 by John Wragg at Waukee. In 1904

CHANGE IN A. A. N. PERSONNEL. 



John Watson, a former president of 

 the American Association of Nursery- 

 men, has been persuaded to accept the 

 position of executive secretary and has 

 already taken over the conduct of the 

 business of the association. 



F. F. Eockwell retired from the man- 



agement of the market development 

 movement September 1 and the office 

 maintained by him in New York is dis- 

 continued. Mr. Watson, who from the 

 first has been a promoter of this move- 

 ment and who in consequence is familiar 

 with it, has assumed its management. 



Curtis Nye Smith. severed his connec- 

 tion vkdth the association July 1. A 

 credit and collection service, similar to 

 that maintained by him, will, through 

 an arrangement with the United States 

 Fidelity & Guaranty Co., be available 

 to members from Mr. Watson's office. 

 Legislative matters will be passed upon 

 by a representative and active commit- 

 tee, which Mr. Watson will assist when- 

 ever possible. 



Charles Sizemore now becomes assist- 

 ant secretary and traffic manager, 

 though for the present his duties will 

 remain substantially as before. 



We want the membership to back Mr. 

 Watson up actively, to use his office 

 freely, and, if you like, confidentially, 

 for in accepting this position all inter- 

 ests heretofore held by him in any nurs- 

 ery enterprise have been relinquished. 

 His address is 400 Nassau street, Prince- 

 ton, N. J. 



J. Edward Moon, President. 



MARKET DEVELOPMENT FUND. 



Members of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen doubtless know that the 

 publicity work of the market de- 

 velopment campaign was taken up 

 last year by about 150 firms. At the 

 Chicago convention, in June, the work 

 was taken over by the association, 

 which will now direct, control and 

 finance the publicity work in the inter- 

 est of the larger and better use of nurs- 

 ery stock and in ways that will enable 

 the members of the association to real- 

 ize the financial benefits following the 

 increased use of their products. 



But provision for financing the work 

 by the association leaves us without 

 funds from the association until next 

 June, when dues are again payable. 

 Until that time we have to depend upon 

 voluntary subscriptions. May we not 

 confidently expect that the members of 

 the association, who took the publicity 

 work over and agreed to finance it out 

 of the general revenue after next June, 

 will be the ones most willing and 

 prompt to help finance the work until 

 next June! We think so. 



The program was fully explained at 

 the convention and plans for this year
