OALIFOBNIA NimSERYMEN. 



Meet at CMco. 



The ninth annual meeting of the Cali- 

 fornia Association of Nurserymen at- 

 tracted a large gathering at Chico this 

 week, for during the same week the an- 

 nual state convention of fruit growers 

 and farmers and also the state associa- 

 tion of county horticultural commission- 

 ers were in session. The nurserymen's 

 sessions open Thursday morning, Novem- 

 ber 13, called to order by President Wm. 

 T. Kirkman, Jr., of the Kirkman Nurs- 

 ersies, Fresno. To the welcome of Dr. 

 E. B. Copelaud, president of the Chico 

 Chamber of Commerce, George F. Otto, 

 of San Diego, chairman of the executive 

 committee, responds, followed by the 

 president's address and the report of 

 Secretary-Treasurer Henry W. Krucke- 

 berg, of Los Angeles. 



"Trade signs of the time" were 

 stated by the association in its conven- 

 tion program in the following words: 

 "Prevailing trade conditions call for 

 intelligent cooperative action, for the 

 standardization of nursery products in 

 both the economics and ornamentals, for 

 a broader knowledge of costs of produc- 

 tion and good salesmanship, for a higher 

 eflficiency and better standards of labor 

 in nursery row and office, for just and 

 equitable relations between horticul- 

 tural authorities, the commercial plants- 

 men and the fruit growers, for a get- 

 together movement that will give the 

 nursery industry rank with the great 

 financial, mercantile and manufacturing 

 industries of the country."
