The Florists^ Review 



Pbbbdabt 5, 1920 



Henet B. Chase, president of the 

 Chase Nursery Co., Chase, Ala., is in 

 California. 



Instead of increasing the agricultural 

 appropriation, the House trimmed it to 

 half of last year's; so there is little 

 chance of the nursery crop reporting be- 

 ing done this year. 



At the meeting of the Ohio State Hor- 

 ticultural Society at Columbus last week, 

 H. S. Day, of Tremont, president of the 

 Ohio Nurserymen 's Association, and T. B. 

 West, of Perry, were speakers. 



John Watson, executive secretary of 

 the American Association of Nursery- 

 men, stopped in Chicago on his way home 

 from Kansas City to make hotel arrange- 

 ments for the convention in June. 



The Marble City Nursery Co., Knox- 

 ville, Tenn., has been incorporated with 

 a capital of $50,000. The incorporators

WESTERN ASSOCIATION. 



Holds Record Meeting. 



The thirtieth annual meeting of the 

 Western Association of Nurserymen was 

 held at the Hotel Baltimore, Kansas 

 City, January 28 and 29. There were 

 eighty-three members present from 

 seventeen states, the largest attendance 

 the association has had, and the meet- 

 ing was one of the most interesting ever 

 held. 



The officers, elected were as follows- 

 President, E. P. Bernardin, Parsons, 

 Kan.; vice-president, E. H. Smith, York, 

 Neb.; secretary and treasurer, George 

 W. Holsinger, Eosedale, Kan. The ex-

 shall, Arlington, Neb.; C. C. Mayhew, 

 Sherman, Tex.; E. E. May, Shenandoah, 

 la., and J. H. Skinner, Topeka, Kan. 



One of the most important matters 

 considered by the members was the mar- 

 ket development campaign, for which a 

 considerable sum of money has been 

 raised by nurserymen all over the coun- 

 try. John Watson, of Princeton, N. J., 

 secretary of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen, was present and gave an 

 outline of some of the work planned for 

 the coming year in this campaign. Mov- 

 ing pictures will be one means of giv- 

 ing publicity to this development work. 



The federal quarantine was consid- 

 ered at length by the convention. A 

 symposium of six papers on "Ethics of 

 Nurserymen," from the standpoint of 

 wholesaler, retailer, salesman and other 

 branches of the business, was given. 

 The complete list of addresses was given 

 in The Eeview last week.

NEW ENQIiAND NX7RSERYMEN. 



Meet at Boston. 



The annual convention of the New 

 England Nurserymen's Association was 

 held at the New American House, Bos- 

 ton, January 27 and 28, and was well 

 attended. Several prominent men on 

 the program, including J. Edward Moon, 

 E. F. Coe and Paul Stark, were pre- 

 vented by illness from attending. W. H. 

 Wyinan-was in Florida, and the deep 

 snow, severe cold and transportation 

 delays kept some others at home. 



Following a roll call of members, 

 President C. E. Burr read his address, 

 which was full of humor and contained 

 some excellent suggestions. He said 

 that all fears of Quarantine 37 had not 

 been realized and some modifications 

 seemed probable; that the corn borer 

 legislation was dangerous and the asso- 

 ciation should work with the A. A. N. 



in combating this and other injurious 

 legislation; that nurserymen should 

 have the nerve to ask more for their 

 stock and pay employees more. He also 

 counseled members not to overplant and 

 urged a standard price for nursery 

 stock. 



For the legislative committee, J. K. 

 M. L. Farqunai paid his respects in 

 vigorous termsNt ) the Federal Horticul- 

 tural Board and i hiarantine 37. He BSi3~ 

 that he consider ija^ the qua^antine^nly 

 an entering wedge. 0. H. Greaton and 

 others denounced th^v quarantine, and a 

 motion that the assbaiation again enter 

 its emphatic protest/against Quarantine 

 37 was passed witJi a solitary dissent- 

 ing voice. The resolution was ordered 

 forwarded to the F. H. B. 



Excellent Papers.

 how. In the resulting discussion, H. P.
