bers until the last day of the conven- 

 tion, when the new oflScers were in- 

 stalled. After discussion by John Day- 

 ton, Eobert Pyle and William Pitkin, 

 the matter was allowed to rest until the 

 usual reports were in. 



Charles H. Perkins, Jr., presented the 

 report of the legislative committee, 

 comprising the platform given in an- 

 other column. 



George C. Marshall reported four cases 

 having been decided by the arbitration 

 committee. 



Thursday Brings Visitors. 



The second day of the convention 

 brought two speakers outside the trade 

 to the association. Beuben H. Don- 

 nelley, head of the large Chicago print- 

 ing house and retiring president of the 

 Associated Advertising Clubs of the 

 World, told of the vigilance work in 

 the advertising field done by the latter 

 organization in a way that won the ap- 

 plause of the nurserymen. 



E. H. Stevens, representing the 

 American Railway Express Co., ex- 

 plained the problems of expressmen and 

 pointed out that nurserymen could aid 

 themselves by reducing the size of their 

 packages, reading an order that limited 

 the size on all other commodities in the 

 eastern and central districts to 200 

 pounds, while allowing 300 pounds on 

 nursery stock. Upon his suggestion the 

 association adopted a resolution pre- 

 sented by W. H. Wyman that boxes or 

 bales of nursery stock be limited to ap- 

 proximately 300 pounds in the states 

 east of the Mississippi and north of the 

 Ohio. 



Market Development Beport. 



Then O. Joe Howard offered the re- 

 port of the market development com- 

 mittee, presenting legal opinion to the 

 effect that the association's trade-mark 

 did not render the organization liable 

 in legal action. The committee recom- 

 mended the incorporation of the asso- 

 ciation, with shares of $25, the dues to 

 be in multiples of $25 and each share 

 having one vote. The committee also 

 recommended a guaranty fund, so that 

 the association might make itself finan- 

 cially responsible to buyers of nursery 

 stock for the amount of the purchase 

 price in case the purchaser was dissatis- 

 fied. It advocated the expulsion of 

 members found guilty of unfair or 

 fraudulent dealing and asked an appro- 

 priation of $35,000 for the coming 

 year's work. 



L. W. C. Tuthill, whose agency han- 

 dled the association's advertising, graph- 

 ically presented the paid publicity of 

 the A. A. N. during the last year. 



The members then proceeded to tie 

 up the chair in such a tangle of parlia- 

 mentary procedure, in action and dis- 

 cussion regarding the market develop- 

 ment committee's report, that the dif- 

 ficulty of unraveling it proved too great.
