The Florists^ Review 



OCTOBKE 2. 1919- 



of evergreens and the need for the 

 wholesale production of them in the 

 southwest. 



Bemarks by J. R. Mayhew, on "Laws 

 and Appropriations for Regulating the 

 Nursery and Orchard Business," 

 brought about considerable discussion 

 regarding the present work of the state 

 officials, first from the nurseryman's 

 point of view and later from the in- 

 spector's side of the question. 



State Inspection Criticized. 



It was finally agreed that the force 

 of six inspectors for the state of Texas 

 was entirely insufficient for the amount 

 of work needed, and it was suggested 

 by several members that more assist- 

 ance be asked of the state, while still 

 other members regarded inspection by 

 the state as unnecessary and unenlight- 

 ening and, above all, a useless expendi- 

 ture of state funds. 



John S. Kerr, of Sherman, made an 

 interesting talk regarding the upbuild- 

 ing of the business, condemning the act 

 . of destroying certain varieties of plants 

 condemned by state inspectors, and 

 urged nurserymen to test and experi- 

 ment with the various diseases of their 

 products and to eliminate the disease 

 but not the plant. A plant destroyed is 

 a loss to the whole community, but a 

 disease that is analyzed and eliminated 

 is a step in progress beneficial to the 

 nurseryman, the state and the whole 

 nation, according to Mr. Kerr. 



Other addresses of much interest 

 were given, according to the program 

 printed in last week's report in The 

 Review. 



Committees Appointed. 



James Parker, J, B. Baker and John 

 S. Kerr were appointed to serve on the 

 committee of resolutions, and E. W. 

 Kirkpatrick, W. C. Griffing and C. E. 

 Stephens on the nominations committee. 



Before adjournment the following 

 committees were appointed: Transpor- 

 tation, W. C. Griffing, C. C. Mayhew, 

 Ben Davis, N. M. Scheid and J. L. 

 Downing. Legislative: J. R. Mayhew, 

 J. M. Ramsey, James Parker, J. T. 

 Foote, George Parker and John S. Kerr. 



Transportation Not Improved. 



R. G. Piner, of Sherman, Tex., ad- 

 dressed the meeting on transportation 

 matters, which, he said, would not be 

 improved this year. He suggested to 

 the nurserymen that they prepare for 

 delays, but urged them to take up the 

 matter of their shipments with agents 

 and representatives of railroads to 

 show them the importance of nursery 

 shipments, as they were classed as 

 perishable goods. 



A resolution was passed placing the 

 convention on record as being opposed 

 to the employment by states of orchard 

 inspectors who were owners or em- 

 ployees of any nursery business. 



According to the meeting, not enough 

 attention is given the growing of peren- 

 nials and various species of shrubbery 

 by the nurserymen over the country, 

 and all were urged to give this more 

 attention as a matter of civic pride and 

 beautification. 



The Attendance. 



There was a good attendance of nurs- 

 erymen at the meeting. Among them 

 the following were noted: "W. A. Wag- 

 ner, Sherman; L. J. Tackett, Austin; 

 J. E. Price, Pilot Point; E. M. Hender-
