for the membership committee; A. E. ( 

 Robinson, for the legislation commit- I 

 tee; E. A. Coe, for the publicity com- [ 

 mittee, and Charles Adams, for the 

 transportation committee. After the 

 appointment of the auditing and nomi- 

 nation committees, Winthrop H. Thur- 

 low, of West Newbury, Mass., discussed 

 the question, "What Can We Import 

 — and How?" The remainder of the 

 afternoon was taken up with the pres- 

 entation of the three following papers: 

 "Standardization of Prices," by Har- 

 lan P. Kelsey, of Salem, Mass.; "The 

 Labor Problem," by John R. Barnes, 

 of Yalesville, Conn., and "New Eng- 

 land Plants for New England Gardens," 

 by Kenneth Gillett, of Southwick, 

 Mass. 



With the Banquet in Between. 



After so much intellectual nourish- 

 ment, the members were not unwilling 

 to regale themselves in lighter fashion 

 that evening, when they all came to- 

 gether at a banquet. Walton G. Wy- 

 man proved an inspiring song leader 

 and Fred Clark provided ample enter- 

 tainment. 



The morning session Wednesday be- 

 gan with the reports of special com- 

 mittees, which were followed by the 

 election of oflBcers. Then Paul Stark, 

 of Louisiana, Mo., read a paper on 

 "The Fruit Tree Situation" and D. 

 J. Caffrey, in charge of the federal corn 

 borer investigation, gave his hearers 

 many interesting facts about the 

 European corn borer. The members 

 then listened with pleasure to a mes- 

 sage from the American Association 

 of Nurserymen, delivered by J. Edward 

 Moon, president of that association. 

 The session closed with a paper on 

 "Market Development," by Ernest F. 

 Coe, New Haven, Conn., and general 

 discussion. 



After lunch, the members listened to 

 an interesting talk, which was also 

 open to the public, on "What's New 

 in the Garden!" by E. I. Farrington, 

 editor of Horticulture. This talk was 

 supplemented by remarks by J. Edward 

 Moon, after which the convention ad- 

 journed, with a sense that much had 

 been accomplished, but that that was 

 simply in preparation for the larger 

 accomplishments of this record year.
