bers, Init sliould be made the leading 

 factor in the horticulture of the state," 

 said Mr. Bergtholdt. "Heretofore the 

 ornamental nurserymen have been in the 

 minority in our association, not alone in 

 membership, but in the activities of our 

 organization. This is wrong. In view 

 of our dual capacity the membership of 

 our officers should be fifty-fifty." 



"The public demands reliability and 

 service. Give them these and our ac- 

 tivities will not be questioned by those 

 who place confidence in us and the prod- 

 ucts we sell. Our prosperity depends 

 on fair dealing and honest methods. Our 

 organization should be founded upon the 

 desire to render public service as much 

 as for mutual helpfulness and protec- 

 tion." 



The retiring president then suggested 

 that the executive committee should be 

 authorized and instructed by the conven- 

 tion to "renovate the organization; to 

 devise plans and methods to enlarge the 

 activities of the association and make 

 it the leading factor in the horticulture 

 of the state, and to draft a code of ethics 

 to be rigidly observed and enforced upon 

 all members." 



Expansion Spells Expense. 



"You can't buy ))rpa(l on air. No 

 more can you make the California Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen a potent factor 

 in horticulture on an annual deluge of 

 rhetoric," asserted President Berg- 

 tholdt. He then appealed to the mem- 

 bers that a financial budget be made for 

 a period of five years and that every 

 member underwrite it for a yearly sum 

 of $1 for every $1,000 of yearlv' busi- 

 ness. "Do this," he stated, ".-ind for 

 every dollar in money and effort you 

 contribute to an association adequately 

 supported you will be repaid tenfold in 

 the standing and prosperity of your busi- 

 ness in the era to come." 



The speaker suggested that a perma- 

 nent membership committee be ap- 

 pointed and that efforts be made to pre- 

 vail upon every nurseryman, florist and 

 seedsman to .ioin the association. 



"The California planter demands, 

 above all things, quality," said Mr. 

 Bergtholdt in conclusion. "He is willing 

 to pay the price and he expects the prod- 

 uct to be the best that good nursery 

 workmanship can deliver. We should 

 maintain a high standard of both quality 

 and grade. The planter will call us 

 to an accounting, and his confidence in 

 us spells our success."
