 interest to all followed each address.

 of implements, accessories, etc., used by 

 fruit growers and nurserymen. Insecti- 

 cides and spray pumps were well repre- 

 sented. Stark Bros. Nurseries & Or-

 tractive display of Red and Golden De-

 Need for Grading and Packing Regula-

 regulations and submit them to the leg-

For the educational committee E. M. 

 Wyman spoke interestingly of the ten 

 weeks' course in nursery practice, now 

 under way at Amherst, the first attempt 

 in America at anything of this kind. 

 Several members present, who had sons 

 taking the course, spoke of how much 

 the young men enjoyed it and Professor 

 F. A. Waugh, of the Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College, who helped to put the 

 course through, spoke on how ■well 

 pleased he was with the results. He 

 and the educational committee, B. M. 

 Wyman, Theodore F. Borst and W. E. 

 Campbell, were extended a hearty vote 

 of thanks for their labors. 



Have ValuaUe Discussions. 



Donald Wyman, of the Bay State Nurs- 

 eries, North Abington, reported for the 

 transportation committee. He said his 

 committee advised sending all possible 

 shipments per freight, in lieu of ex- 

 press. The freight service is good and 

 the express service poor, according to 

 him. The committee, he said, was sup- 

 porting State Forester Cook in a de- 

 mand for a ten per cent cut in express 

 rates. The vigilance committee bad 

 found its labors light, but one of the 

 members, C. H. Greaton, of Providence, 

 mentioned several practices which called
