The Floriste' Review 



Febbuabt 19. 1920 



ehaida, for the beautlflcatlon of onr home 



Sounds and jMirka and for forestry purposes and 

 ere is a need for trained men in this partic- 

 ular field of endeavor; and whereas there is 

 not, at the present time, a school for the edu- 

 cation of nurserymen; 



Therefore, Be It BesolTed, That the nursery- 

 men of the Illinois State rfurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation, in convention assembled, recommend to 

 the trustees of the University of Illinois that 

 they at <«ce arrann for and Institute such a 

 course or courses in nursery management and 

 practice as will properly qualify men for that 

 indnstrr. 



Preserving Faith and Forests. 



In the final session of the convention, 

 Thursday afternoon, Alvin E. Kel^m 

 read a paper discussing the question, 

 "Should the Illinois State Nurserymen's 

 Association Certify to the Sales Made 

 by Members!" emphasizing that the 

 seller should be made financially respon- 

 sible and that the members of the as- 

 sociation need not fear supervision. He 

 iBuggested that certifying should be 

 done by the national, rather than by 

 a state, association. F. W. Von Oven, 

 of the Naperville Nurseries, Naperville, 

 presented a large amount of informa- 

 tion on "The Forestry Problem in i 

 Illinois," describing the position of 

 Illinois in the lumber industry, the 

 growth of the movement to create for- 

 est preserves and the significance of 

 this movement for the nurserymen. He 

 believed that forest preserves would 

 stimulate the public's love of trees and 

 would thus ultimately benefit nursery- 

 men, but that the trade should be suf- 

 ficiently represented to insure that the 

 state production of trees is only for 

 state use. 



Summer Meeting at Urbana. 



In the freedom of the open forum 

 discussion ranged wide, expressing dis- 

 satisfaction with the non-central loca- 

 tion of the executive headquarters of 

 the national association, advocating 

 more frequent visits by the state in- 

 spectors, holding that present nursery 

 prices were justified by the prices of 

 other commodities, opposing the giving 

 of wholesale prices to large consumers 

 and presenting various opinions as to 

 the percentage which retailers needed 

 to add to wholesale prices in order to 

 secure an adequate profit. Mr. Nelson 

 urged all nurserymen to write to their 

 congressmen in support of the Gould 

 bill, H. B. 5939. 



While it was agreed that the best 

 usual meeting-place for the association 

 was Chicago, the association was glad 

 to accept the suggestion of Professor 

 Blair that it should hold its next meet- 

 ing at Urbana in either July or Sep- 

 tember and thus be able to examine 

 at first hand the work of the univer- 

 sity's department of horticulture. 



RHODE ISLAND ASSOCIATION. 



Bequests State Aid. 



The second annual convention of the 

 Bhode Island Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion, which was postponed from Feb- 

 ruary 5 because of the heavy storm, 

 was held at Providence, February 12. 



Charles W. Mowrey, of the Woon- 

 socket Hill Nurseries, Woonsocket, 

 was elected president for the ensuing 

 year and it was unanimously voted to 

 ask the Bhode Island general assembly 

 to appropriate $2,500 for the proper 

 inspection and supervision of cleaning- 

 up work in the nurseries of Bhode Is- 

 land. 



In opening the convention, President 

 Greaton gave a brief address, in which
