ORNAMENTAL GBOWEBS MEET. 



Elect Officers. 



Nearly two score members of the Or- 

 namental Growers' Association assem- 

 bled for the annual meeting at the Hotel 

 Biltmore, New York, Wednesday, Janu- 

 ary 4. 



At the meeting the chairman of the 

 nominating committee, Thomas Meehan, 

 put in nomination officers for the ensu- 

 ing year, who were elected as follows: 

 President, J. D. Rice, Geneva, N. Y.; 

 vice-president, R. C. Chase, Chase, Ala., 

 and secretary-treasurer, Charles J. Ma- 

 loy, Rochester, N. Y. The executive com- 

 mittee consists of Wilmer Hoopes, West 

 Chester, Pa., elected for three years, 

 and William Flemmer, Sr., Springfield, 

 N. J., for one year. Those on the stock 

 report committee are E. S. Welch, Shen- 

 andoah, la.; R. C. Chase, Chase, Ala., 

 and C. R. Burr, Manchester, Conn. 



The first session was called to order 

 at 10:30 a. rn. by President Charles Per- 

 kins, of Newark, N. Y. The morning ses- 



sion was devoted chiefly to the report of 

 the secretary-treasurer and the reports 

 of standing committees. 



The chief item at the afternoon ses- 

 sion was the president's address, in 

 which President Perkins gave his sum- 

 mary of the activities during the past 

 year, and emphasized particularly cer- 

 tain things that the organization had 

 fought for and accomplished. 



Under the general topic of "American 

 Association Business," Eobert Pyle, of 

 the executive committee of the Amer- 

 ican Association of Nurserymen, gave a 

 report of the activities of the commit- 

 tee, so far as it relates to the growers 

 of ornamental stocks. 



"Cooperation and What It Means" 

 was discussed by J. P. Bice, of Geneva, 

 N. Y., president of the Bice Bros. Co., 

 and president of the Geneva Chamber 

 of Commerce. Mr. Bice emphasized the - 

 necessity for closer cooperation in the 

 trade, both in relation to business prac- 

 tice, in reporting available stock and 

 closer connections with the national and 

 sectional associations. 



High Spots of the Meeting. 



It is a dull convention that does not 

 have at least one high spot, but when 

 a high spot is provided for each day's 

 session it puts a convention in a class 

 by itself. 



"Why I Like the Trade-mark" was 

 the topic assigned to Paul C. Lindley, 

 Pomona, N. C., chairman of the vigi- 

 lance committee of the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen. While Mr. 

 Lindley may not have followed closely 

 the assigned topic, he certainly gave the 

 convention a wealth of information 

 about the activities of the vigilance 

 committee. Through the close coopera- 

 tion of this committee with one or two 

 state horticultural boards, a large 

 amount of constructive work has been 

 accomplished; certain unfair practices 

 have been changed and a number of 

 small nurseries have been shown how to 

 inspect, how to grade and to pack
