sion, nurserymen twenty-five or thirty 

 per cent when they called for their 

 stock. E. W. Breed, C. H. Greaton, 

 Charles Adams, John Baker and others 

 discussed standardization of prices, and 

 from thirty-three to fifty per cent 

 seemed to be the ruling wholesale com- 

 mission given. It was generally agreed, 

 however, that present prices were too 

 low. 



Kenneth Gillett's paper on "New 

 England Plants for New England Gar- 

 dens" wa,s a masterpiece. He devoted 

 his whole time to rock plants and named 

 a wealth of splendid material available, 

 giving cultural hints for each. Among 

 other plants, he specially commended 

 hepaticas, trilliums, sanguinarias, clay- 

 tonias, coptis, dicentras, houstonias, 

 thalictrums, pyrolas, tiarellas, saxi- 

 fragas, violas, cypripediums, gaultherias, 

 asarums, epigaeas, actseas, polygonatums, 

 smilacinas, campanulas and many ever- 

 green cover plants and ferns as adapt- 

 able for this form of gardening. The 

 lecturer answered many questions, his 

 talk provoking a good discussion. 



Favor Daylight Saving. 



The question of daylight saving came 

 up and the association, with only twelve 

 dissenters, voted in favor of it for 1920, 

 The question of protection for raisers 

 of new plants in the form of a royalty 

 caused an animated discussion. H. P. 

 Kelsey said such a law was feasible and 

 eminently proper. Some agreed, while 

 others were dubious on the subject. A 

 slogan for nurserymen also created a 

 lively exchange of views. That one 

 similar to that used by the florists was 

 desirable was admitted. It was finally 

 decided to have a committee canvass 

 members for slogans and work in con- 

 junction with the American Association 

 of Nurserymen in securing a suitable 

 one from a first-class designer. 



A banquet closed the first day's pro- 

 ceedings and proved quite enjoyable. 

 W. G. Wyman, as song leader, proved 

 inimitable. Fred Clark proved to be a 

 splendid entertainer.

 follows: President, Charles Adams, 

 Springfield, Mass.; vice-president, J. K. 

 M. L. Farquhar, Boston; secretary,
