The Rorists^ Review 



July 15. 1920 



BoOER Eeynolds is starting in the 

 nursery business at Kedwood City, Cal. 



Harrt E. Phelps, Taeoma, Wash., is 

 starting his son in the nursery business. 

 The name of the firm will be the Taeoma 

 Nursery. 



Perhaps no trade suffers more severely 

 than the nursery business because of the 

 transportation tie-up last spring, and yet 

 nurserymen as a class are not enthusiastic 

 over the prospect of an early increase of 

 twenty-five to fifty per cent in freight 

 rates. 



William H. Wyman, who declared at 

 the Chicago convention of the A. A. N. 

 that he didn't want to enlarge his busi- 

 ness, but wished to take things easy hence- 

 forth, has solved the problem by selling 

 the Framingham Nurseries, at North 

 Abington, Mass., to his son, Richard M. 

 Wyman, who doesn't intend to take 

 things easy. 



PACIFIC COAST CONVENTION. 



At Spokane. 



At the eighteenth annual convention 

 of the Pacific Coast Association of 

 Nurserymen, held at tlie Davenport 

 hotel, Spokane, Wasli., from June 29 

 to July 1, the following officers were 

 elected: President, F. H. Burglehaus, 

 of the Rosecroft Fruit Farm, Sumner, 

 Wash.; vice-presidents, J. B. Wagner, 

 Pasadena, Cal.; B. H. Bowers, of the 

 Provo Nurseries, Prove, Utah; Richard 

 Layritz, Victoria, B. C; C. B. Miller, 

 of the Milton Nursery Co., Milton, Ore.; 

 C. T. Hawkes, of the Caldwell Nursery 

 Co., Caldwell, Ida., and A. A. Kelly, 

 Spokane, Wash.; secretary-treasurer. C. 

 A. Tonneson, Taeoma, Wash. Mr. Ton- 

 neson was reelected to his oflSce for 

 the eighteenth successive time. The 

 executive committee was chosen as fol- 

 lows: C. Malmo, J. J. Bonnell and I. F. 

 Madlem, all of Seattle, Wash. 



President Day's Address. 



Mayor Fleming, of Spokane, gave the 

 opening address and was followed by 

 N. W. Durham, who spoke for the cham- 

 ber of commerce; M. McDonald, of 

 Orenco, Ore., responded for the associa- 

 tion. Mrs. Ruth Day, of Overman's 

 Nursery, Spokane, in the president's 

 address, stressed the importance of 

 stabilizing prices, raising the quality of 

 the stock, increasing publicity, practic- 

 ing conservation in growing and devel- 

 oping greater cooperation among the 

 growers. She also touched upon the 



matter of winter injury, the placing 

 of the responsibility and the question 

 of replacement. In connection with 

 prices, Mrs. Day said: "Greater atten- 

 tion must be paid to a cost finding sys- 

 tem, and efficiency methods must be 

 applied, so that the producing cost can 

 be made the basis for the selling price." 

 She outlined the advantages of a clear- 

 ing house, which should keep nursery 

 stock well balanced by transferring 

 surplus stock to members of the asso- 

 ciation who might be in need of it, 

 and the following committee was ap- 

 pointed to consider the practicability of 

 establishing one for the association: C. 

 T. Hawkes, chairman; J. R. Gardner, 

 Richland, Wash., and F, H. Burglehaus. 

 Reports were submitted by Vice- 

 presidents F. W. May, Yakima, Wash.; 

 A. Brownell, Portland, Ore.; M. R. Jack- 

 son, Fresno, Cal.; C. T. Hawkes, Cald- 

 well, Ida., and C. A. Atwood, Grand 

 Forks, B. C. 



To Have Field Secretary. 



A plan providing for a board of trus- 

 tees and a field secretary was adopted.

At the luncheon for the nurserymen 

 at the rooms of the Spokane Ad Club, 

 Raymond Kelly, a local advertising
