CRAIG QUALITY 



Plants for Growing On, 



On account of selling our Philadelphia property we are compelled to make 

 room at our Norwood plant, and offer some of our specialties at less than 



regular prices. They are Sure Money Makers and indispensable for fall and Christmas trade. 

 The wide-awake growers will surely take immediate advantage of this offer:

Illinois and John S. Kerr spoke of that 

 at the University of Texas. 



Government Men Talk. 



Thursday afternoon, June 24, was 

 given over to addresses by representa- 

 tives from the Department of Agricul- 

 ture. Dr. Fredericlc V. Coville, show- 

 ing stcreopticon views, told of the ex- 

 periments being conducted with blue- 

 berry plants, which had demonstrated 

 the beneficial effects of a period of 

 chilling on stock, producing a reaction 

 in the plant that stimulated subsequent 

 growth. Dr. B. T. Galloway told of the 

 experiments with pear tree stock, which 

 have advanced farther than those with 

 other fruit stocks. Prof. L. C. Corbett 

 spoke regarding the work to be done 

 with the $20,000 secured by the nursery- 

 men through the passage of the Gould 

 bill. He asked, in conclusion, that the 

 association appoint a committee to act 

 in an advisory capacity in regard to 

 this work. This request. President Moon 

 pointed out, was an extraordinary one 

 from the Department of Agriculture. 

 Motion of E. H. Smith for the appoint- 

 ment of such a committee was promptly 

 carried. 



Thomas B. Median, as chairman of the 

 committee on relations with landscape 

 architects, presented a memorandum of 

 agreement as prepared by the joint 

 committee of the A. A. N. and the 

 American Society of Landscape Archi- 

 tects, covering "obligations which are 

 normally implied by the placing and 

 acceptance of an order for nursery stock, 

 in the absence of specific stipulations to 

 some other effect," and also a memoran- 

 dum in regard to payment of bills for 

 nursery stock ordered by landscape 

 architects on account of clients. Both 

 drafts were adopted by vote of the con- 

 vention. 



Standardization. 



Opening Friday morning's session, 

 June 25, Harlan P. Kelsey presented the 

 report of the committee on nomencla- 

 ture, embodying the 1920 prospectus of 

 the oflBcial catalogue of plant names 

 being prepared by the American Joint 

 Committee on Horticultural Nomencla- 

 ture. Copies of the prospectus were dis- 

 tributed to members of the association 

 for their perusal. J. Horace McFar-

land, chairman of the joint committee, 

 and Dr. Frederick V. Coville also spoke 

 of the nomenclature work. George C. 

 Roeding moved a vote of thanks, which, 

 upon John S. Kerr's seconding, was 

 heartily given. At Mr. Kelsey 's recom- 

 mendation a motion for the appoint- 

 ment of a committee on the standardiza- 

 tion of trade practices was carried. 



Vigilance Committee Beports. 



An executive session had been in- 

 tended by the oflScers for the considera- 

 tion of the vigilance committee's report, 

 but a strong appeal for an open ses- 

 sion by J. R. Mayhew won the approval 

 of the members. 



Paul C. Lindley then read the com- 

 mittee's report and its recommenda- 

 tions, which, by setting a more definite 

 rule in regard to expulsion, took an 

 emphatic stand in regard to members' 

 dealings. ' ' Only trustworthy men, ' ' de- 

 clared Mr. Lindley, "can produce trust- 

 worthy trees." Advertisements had oc- 

 cupied some of the committee's atten- 

 tion and recommendations were made 

 for a more rigid surveillance of them in 

 future. After some discussion the rec- 

 ommendations were referred to the exec- 

 utive committee.

55th Street and Springfield Arenue 

 WEST PHILADELPHIA. PA. 



At this time the recommendation oi 

 an attorney that the report of the com 

 mittee on policj-, adopted June, 1919. 

 be rescinded, was acted upon. When 

 the article was repealed, J. R. Mayhew 

 moved the appointment of a committer . 

 to draw up similar resolutions in a forn 

 that would be legal. 



The adoption of the executive com 

 mittee 's recommendations, including the 

 new schedule of dues, as outlined above 

 drew forth much debate. Some wer< 

 of the opinion that the contract made 

 with the market development committee 

 a year ago necessitated adherence to th. 

 schedule of dues adopted last year 

 Under these an income of $50,000 har. 

 been expected. The new dues wili 

 yield, it was said, between $25,000 and 

 $35,000, so that the market development 

 appropriation will, in place of about
