W. Wheelwright is starting a nursery 

 at Vancouver, B. C. His establishment 

 will be known as the Capilano Nurseries. 



NEWS OF THE A. A. N. 



Credit and Collection Bureau. 



The credit and collection bureau, for- 

 merly conducted by Counsel Curtis Nye 

 Smith, was temporarily suspended after 

 his release as counsel. With the assist- 

 ance of John Watson, arrangements 

 have been made with the United States 

 Fidelity & Ouarantee Co., of Baltimore, 

 through their New York oflace. Any 

 member of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen is now entitled to subscribe 

 to the service of this company through 

 Secretary Sizemore 's office. The fees for 

 collections will be the same as have been 

 previously charged under the arrange- 

 ment vvrith Mr. Smith. The credit re- 

 porting feature offers nurserymen the 

 opportunity to secure in advance credit 

 reports of any customer about whom 

 they are in doubt. The service will also 

 include collection letters, proper forms 

 •f draft and a list of attorneys who are 

 secured by bond of the United States 

 Fidelity & Guarantee Co. . v 



The United States Fidelity & Guaran- 

 tee Co. protects the association and any 

 members subscribing to the service by 

 a bond of $10,000, with a limit of $2,500 

 on any one attorney. This bond will 

 for the present be deposited with Presi- 

 dent Moon. Under the new plan each 

 member can subscribe to a service which 

 would, if purchased separately, cost him 

 from $15 to $20 per '.annum, while 

 through the association he can secure 

 this for $5 per annum, which covers the 

 cost of the list of guaranteed attorneys 

 and the quarterly supplement thereto. 



Nurserymen having claims with Cur- 

 tis Nye Smith will withdraw them and 

 be given an opportunity to subscribe to 

 this new service to further prosecute 

 their claims. 



Committee Appointments. 



Vice-president Lloyd Stark paid a 

 visit to President Moon August 19, at 

 which time a number of matters impor- 

 tant to the association were discussed 

 and the committee appointments con- 

 sidered. 



Committee appointments already de- 

 cided upon include C. H. Perkins II, 

 vice-president of Jackson & Perkins Co., 

 Newark, N. J., as chairman of the legis- 

 lative committee. William Pitkin, of 

 Chase Bros. Co., Bochester, N. Y., who 



long served as chairman of this commit- 

 tee, has consented to be a member of it, 

 that the committee may have the benefit 

 of his experience. The rest of this com- 

 mittee it is Mr. Moon's idea to select 

 from the legislative committees of the 

 state and sectional associations. 



It is also decided that the duties for- 

 merly performed by the tariff committee 

 will be merged with the legislative com- 

 mittee, which will hereafter bear the 

 title legislative and tariff committee. 



The market development committee 

 will have John Watson, of Princeton, 

 N. J., as chairman. The entire member- 

 ship of this committee has not yet been 

 announced. 



E. P. Bernardin, Parsons, Kan., and 

 George W. Holsinger, Bosedale, Kan., 

 have consented to serve as a committee 

 to edit and publish the annual report of 

 the proceedings of the convention re- 

 cently held in Chicago. 



A. M. Augustine, of Augustine & Co., 

 Normal, 111., is chairman of the commit- 

 tee to Mcure accommodations for the 

 convention to be held in Chicago in 1920 

 and to be generally in charge of that 

 convention. Thomas B. Meehan, of 

 Thomas B. Meehan & Son, of Dresher, 



Pa., is chairman of the committee on re- 

 lations with landscape architects. 



SERVICE BUREAU AT WORK. 



The program for market development 

 discussed at the convention in Chicago 

 is being put into operation as rapidly as 

 incoming funds will allow. A call has 

 been made for the remaining seventy- 

 five per cent of the first year 's subscrip- 

 tion. 



A call will soon be made on the mem 

 bers of the A. A. N. who have not yet 

 contributed to the market development 

 fund, urging them to do their share for 

 this current year, in accordance with the 

 resolutions passed at Chicago. 



The meeting of the New Jersey As 

 sociation of Nurserymen held at the 

 Princeton Nurseries August 22 was de- 

 voted largely to a discussion of market 

 development. 



'the meeting was addressed by Robert 

 Pyle, of West Grove, Pa., who pointed 

 out the advantages to members of trade 

 associations in joining the national as- 

 sociation, and went into some details 

 concerning the work of organization
