packing season; second, lighter and bet- 

 ter packing methods to overcome the 

 high express charges; third, prompt ship- 

 ments; fourth, orders placed from time 

 to time, previous to the shipping sea- 

 son, should be combined instead of be- 

 ing sent along in small lots; fifth, stop- 

 ping of the practice of shipping an or- 

 der "short," then shipping the items 

 later, accompanied with exorbitant pack- 

 ing and express charges; sixth, do not

E. C. Cotton explained in detail the 

 history and work of the corn borer and 

 its effect upon the nursery interests. 

 He explained fully the information 

 which his department has concerning 

 this destructive pest and a record of 

 investigations to date. The method of 

 control advised was the planting of 

 corn as late in the season as it could 

 be expected to mature properly. The 

 use of cornstalks and sudan grass in 

 infested areas as packing material will 

 have to be discontinued, he said. 



Professors Elwood and Fuere gave in- 

 teresting accounts of the deplorable con- 

 ditions existing in certain parts of 

 France and the need of fruit trees in 

 those districts. 



Professor A. C. Hottes introduced the 

 subject of the planting of trees and 

 shrubs on the state university campus 

 by the association. It was decided that 

 a plan be started to provide an arbore- 

 tum there for the benefit of the univer- 

 sity, the nurserymen and the public at 

 large. 



John Dayton, in his subject, "Does 

 Advertising the Scarcity of Stock In- 

 crease or Curtail Salosf" emphasized 

 two points strongly: First, that the cus- 

 tomer should be taken into your con- 

 fidence and, second, that it does not pay 

 to advertise unless you have the stock 

 to back up such advertising. 



W. F. Bohlender stated that competi- 

 tion in the nursery business was not so 

 keen or serious as many of us supposed. 

 There are over 100,000,000 people in the 

 United States and 90,000,000 of them 

 are our prospects, he said. 



Advertising and Credits. 



A. R. Pickett brought clearly to the 

 minds of those present the need of bet- 

 ter-informed salesmen. The proposed ar- 

 boretum at the university, he thought, 

 would be a great help in securing them. 



On the subject of credits Professor 

 Elwood stated that the American So- 

 ciety of Landscape Architects approved 

 of a 30-day basis in allowing credit.
