rows the long way of the beds, if drive- 

 ways are necessary between these beds, 

 to have the rows opposite to one an- 

 other." 



In Larger Nurseries. 



In large nurseries a quite satisfactory 

 tractor of the caterpillar type is the 

 Cletrac, made by the Cleveland Tractor 

 Co., Cleveland, O. It is heavier than 

 the cultivators previously described 

 and costs several times as much. It is 

 economical of gasoline, runs equally 

 well on hilly ground and on level 

 ground, and it will go nearer a wall or 

 tree than horses can. V. A. Vanicek, 

 proprietor of the Rhode Island Nurs- 

 eries, says, "It is handier and better 

 for harrowing than any wheel tractor, 

 and not so dangerous as the Fordson. 

 It is just the thing I was looking for." 



KANSAS CITY CONVENTION. 



Bailroad Bates. 



Members and delegates, and depend- 

 ent members of their families, jour- 

 neying to Kansas City will be able to 

 purchase round-trip tickets at the rate 

 of one fare and one-half on the identifi- 

 '■ation certificate plan, good via the 

 same route in both directions only. Re- 

 turn tickets must be validated at Kan- 

 sas City by ticket agents at the regular 

 ticket oflSces of the lines for which they 

 are issued, on (any date to and including 

 final return limit, provided a train se- 

 lected reaches the original starting 

 point prior to midnight of the date 

 limit. Certificates will be furnished on 

 application to the secretary of the W. 

 A. F. One certificate will suffice for 

 each member and includes the dependent 

 members of his or her family. These 

 certificates should be projjerly filled out 

 before presentation to the ticket agent. 



Trade Exhibition. 



»om reports received, it would .seem 

 that a few prospective exhibitors in the 

 trade exhibition have the idea that all 

 the space in the exhibition has been 

 sold. This is not the case. The floor of 

 the exhibition building is so laid out 

 that there is a large oval space in the 

 center, with arcades at the cast and 

 west. The space in the oval is, as has 

 been announced, all reserved, but there 

 are several good locations still to be 



had in the arcades, none of them at a 

 disadvantage in comparison with the 

 other locations. Prospective exhibitors, 

 therefore, are urged to send in their ap- 

 plications for space without delay, and 

 may rest assured that with promptness 

 on their part they will be accommodated 

 with reservations. 



All exhibitors are advised that any 

 decorative material, coverings, etc., 

 used on their exhibits must be fire- 

 proofed. This is not a regulation of 

 the society, but of the fire department 

 of Kansas City. Indeed, it is a require- 

 ment in all cities of the first class. Ex- 

 hibitors who carry such material with 

 their exhibitions would find it advisable 

 to have the fireproofing done before 

 shipment, thus avoiding much trouble 

 and delay. 



The following exhibitors are in addi- 

 tion to the list published last: 



Pinehurst Floral To., I'lpHsiint Hill. Mo 



Nebel Mfg. Co., ripveland. O.

Convention Business. 



The state vice-presidents are urged 

 to send in their reports early. These re 

 ports, under a new arrangeinent entered 

 into by the executive board, will he 

 l)rinted in full in the new annual vol- 

 ume which will be a feature of the so- 

 ciety's records in the coming year. 

 State vice-presidents who attend the 

 convention may bear in mind that the 

 official ]>rograiii will jirovide for a meet- 

 ing or council especially set apart for 

 them. 



The Kansas City Chamber of Com- 

 merce has kindly offered to publish a 

 folder for the Ladies' S. A. F., which 

 shall set forth the inducements for the 

 attendance of ladies at the convention. 

 This folder is already prejiared and is 

 in the hands of Mrs. A. M. Herr, the 

 secretary of the organization, and, on 

 coni]iletion, will be sent out from the 

 W. \. V. administration offices. 



President S. R. Pennock has recently 

 spent a day or two at the secretary's 

 office, in conference as to the official 

 program for the convention, with the 



result that the draft of the program 'is 

 nearly completed and will be ready for 

 press shortly. In addition to the busi- 

 ness which may be considered, more or 

 less, as routine, subjects pe^tOient to 

 the florists' industry, some suggested 

 through our membership, are finding 

 places on the program and promise to be " 

 most interesting.
