"It is just as easy unintentionally to 

 mislabel plants as it is to get babies 

 mixed in a hospital." But the nursery- 

 man's mistake is always caught, while 

 the nursd's blunder may never be dis- 

 covered. 



Another nursery has been added to 

 the group at Painesville, 0. Felix Dianni 

 and N. Chriss are the proprietors and the 

 firm name will be the Chriss & Dianni 

 Co. They will specialize in roses and 

 shrubs, and at present are growing these, 

 together with some peach trees. 



Frank Weber, of the H. J. Weber & 

 Sons Nursery Co., Nursery, Mo., reports 

 a heavy season's business, which is now 

 shaping itself so that he can arrange for 

 a trip to Chicago to attend the American 

 Association of Nurserymen's convention, 

 June 22 to 24, and he will extend his 

 trip east after the meeting. 



The idea of memorial trees, so widely 

 urged by newspapers just now in honor 

 of soldiers who died in the recent war, 

 received earlier impetus from the ' ' speak- 

 ers ' bureau" of the A. A. N. In striving 

 to impress audiences with the fitness of 

 trees for this purpose, the slogan was 

 suggested, ' * A Tree for Every Service 

 Star." The slogan advanced to help 

 along the sale of trees as gifts was this 

 pun, "A Present with a Future." 



LOUISIANA QUARANTINE. 



May 15 the shipment of nursery stock 

 and ornamental plants from the par- 

 ishes of Orleans and Jefferson was for- 

 bidden by the Louisiana authorities be- 

 cause of the presence in New Orleans 

 of the Japanese camphor scale. The 

 quarantine notice reads as follows: 



Wliereas. Japanese camphor scale, Pseiuloan- 

 idia duplex, is a dangerous and destructive pest 

 on nursery stock, forest trees and ornamental 

 plants, and whereas it Indicates its ability to 

 enlarge its list of host plants, to include plants 

 of garden and field, therefore, in order to prevent 

 the dissemination of the peat from New Orleans, 

 where it is now established, a quarantine Is 

 hereby declared to include all that area within 

 the parishes of Orleans and Jefferson, from 

 which no nursery stock, forest trees or orna- 

 mental plants shall be moved until the pest has 

 been eradicated, or until further notice has been 

 received. 



The above qtiarantine has been promulgated 

 in accordance with Act No. .Sfi Ceneral Assembly 

 of 1910 and shall have full effect of law on and 

 after May 15. 1921. 



A. A. N. CONVENTION PROGRAM. 



Forty-sixth Annual Meeting. 



The program committee has issued 

 the program of the forty-sixth annual 

 meeting of the American Association of 

 Nurserymen, which will be held at the 

 Congress hotel, Chicago, Wednesday, 

 Thursday and Friday, June 22, 23 and 

 24. The program arrangements call for 

 several executive sessions for tlie pur- 

 pose of discussing the problems that arc 

 confronting the association at present. 

 These discussions will bo open only to 

 voting members of the association. The 

 committee has seen the need of much 

 serious tliought and discussion about 

 the plans for the coming year and has 

 made the program accordingly. It will 

 be an important meeting and will prob- 

 ably be well attended. The words of ' 



the committee, composed of Henry B. 

 Chase, M. E. Cashman and E. S. Welch, 

 tell its purpose in thus arranging the 

 program : 



Executive sessions have been decided on for 

 the purpose of a full, free and frank discussion 

 of those questions on which, during the past 

 year, differences of opinion have developed. 

 Some of the salient points to be brought out in 

 these discuBSions are mentioned in connection 

 with each question, but it is our wish that any 

 other point that may occur to any member be 

 brought out and discussed. No representatives 

 of the press will be present; talk freely, open 

 up, express your mind, but smile! We believe 

 that every one of these questions can be 

 thrashed out at this meeting and settled for all 

 time. 



Note that ample time has been allowed be- 

 tween the discussions and the final vote to 

 give every member a chance to think before vot- 

 ing. Remember that a majority vote of the ac- 

 tive members present decides all questions, ex- 

 cept the amending of the constitution and by- 

 laws, which requires a vote of two-thirds of 

 the active members present. 



The desire of the program committee is that 

 these discussions may clear the atmosphere, and 

 that, when the final adjournment is reached Fri- 

 day, we shall find a united, bigger, stronger 

 .\nierican Association of Nurserymen than ever 

 before. 



Opening Routine. 



Wednesday morning, June 22, start- 

 ing at 10 o'clock, will be devoted to the 

 routine opening business and the only 

 addresses to be given during the meet- 

 ings. The program for the morning is
