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: 



Dracaena Terminalis— very strong, 4-inch 

 Dracaena Lord Wolseley— very strong, 2-inch. 

 Dracaena Lord Wolseley - very strong, 8-inch .

ROBERT CRAIG COMPANY, 4900 Market Street, PHILADELPHIA 



Much discussion followed an address 

 by Professor G. J. Miller, of the uni- 

 versity extension station, at Moscow, 

 Ida., describing the growing of trees by 

 his department and their distribution 

 at cost within the state of Idaho. 0. J. 

 Atwood, of Toppenish, Wash., in the dis-' 

 cussion said: "The function of this de- 

 partment is to educate and train the 

 people. But it plants trees on free 

 ground and distributes them cheaper 

 than we nurserymen can grow them. 

 Let the state plant these trees on school 

 grounds and other public grounds for 

 beauty. I believe that the state should 

 conduct extension lectures to educate 

 the peof)le to plant trees, but I believe 

 that its distribution of trees at cost is 

 establishing the wrong idea in the minds 

 of the people by putting us in the posi- 

 tion of robbers." A few thought that 

 the educational value of the extension 

 work offset the price competition raised 

 with nurserymen, but finally the follow- 

 ing committee was appointed to draft 

 a resolution stating the nurserymen's 

 position on this matter: C. J. Atwood, 

 C. D. Hobbs, Milton, Ore., and J. A. 

 McGee, of Orenco, Ore. 



Next Meeting in Seattle. 



The convention clo.spd Thursday eve- 

 ning, July 1, with a storeopticon lecture 

 in the assembly room of the chamber of 

 commerce by Howard P]. Weed, a land- 

 scape architect of Portland. Various 

 elements of city planning and city beau- 

 tification were mentioned and illustrat- 

 ed. He urged increased growing of 

 perennials and recommended that the 

 street shade trees should be largely Nor- 

 way maples and other slow-growing, 

 long-lived trees. 



Park Commissioner John J. Duncan, 

 of Spokane, was voted an honorary life 

 membership in the association. An in- 

 teresting exhibit was a rose collection 

 of twenty-four varieties furnished by 

 I. F. Madlem, of the Orcas Island Nurs- 

 ery, Seattle. The association will hold 

 its nineteenth convention in Seattle, 

 Wash. 



A luncheon in the Crescent tea room, 

 which was followed by a tour of in- 

 spection through the Crescent store, was 

 given the visiting ladies of the associa- 

 tion, who later were guests at the Olem-

STANDARDIZING PBACTICES. 



New Move Important. 



The movement to standardize trade 

 practices is assuming as conspicuous a 

 place in the activities of trade organi- 

 zations as has the standardization of 

 horticultural nomenclature. Not only 

 is it desirable to know that the plants,
