July d, 1922 



Mr. Rockwell was asked what he pro- 

 posed for future publicity. Taking the 

 floor, Mr. Bockwell explained that his 

 views in general coincided with those 

 of Major P. F. O'Keefe, but that he 

 thought the association was not yet 

 ready for publicity on such a broad 

 scale. He suggested, instead, that the 

 present method be continued, with the 

 following proposals: That the publicity 

 should not be limited to the planting 

 season, but should be continued through 

 the entire year; that the individual 

 nurserymen tie up more closely with the 

 campaign by sending in names of news- 

 papers and distributing the material in 

 bound form; that a number of leaflets 

 be prepared on the subject of how to 

 care for stock, and that cooperation be 

 stimulated in the sectional associations, 

 so that all will link up with the pub- 

 licity work. 



The entire membership was "with" 

 Mr. Rockwell and his. suggestions. 



Here, according to schedule, the pro- 

 gram for the morning should have 

 ended. But T. A. Ferran, secretary of 

 the Michigan Horticultural Society, had 

 something to say about the trouble with 

 Michigan nursery stock and he said it 

 briefly, asking that the nurserymen do 

 something to check the shipping of bad 

 stock, or in some way to improve con- 

 ditions in the way of furnishing stock 

 true to name. Professor Marshall, of 

 the Michigan Agricultural College, 

 spoke to the same point. After the two 

 talks, it was voted that the matter be 

 referred to the executive committee. 



Thursday Afternoon. 



Thursday afternoon promptly J. A. 

 Young, ef Aurora, 111., started the meet- 

 ing well with a spirited talk on the 

 ifO^rk -of the Illinois ' ' Plan to Plant 

 Another Tree" movement. Mr. Young 

 outlined the work, showed the results 

 obtained and explained just exactly 

 what the slogan means. He suggested 

 an appropriation by the American Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen to the end of fur- 

 thering the movement. On motion of 

 Robert Pyle, this matter was referred 

 to the executive committee and the 

 market development committee. 



Prof. L. B. Scott, of the bureau of 

 plant industry, reported on the prog- 

 ress of the nursery stock investigations 

 of the United States Department of 

 Agriculture and told just who was in 

 charge of the actual work at the dif- 

 ferent stations. He explained that an 

 appropriation of $20,000 had been re- 

 ceived for the work two years ago and 

 that the -appropriation had been re- 

 peated for the present fiscal year and 

 for the next, beginning July 1. The 

 experimental work this year, he said, 

 had been carried on at Bell, Md.; South 

 Haven, Mich., and Diamond Springs, 

 Va. The board's main sub-projects Mr. 

 Scott grouped as follows: The raising 

 of fruit tree seedlings; the vegetative 

 propagation of fruit tree stocks, and a 

 comprehensive study of a number of 

 common and several promising new rose 

 stocks. The rest of Mr. Scott's talk had 

 to do with the methods of carrying out 

 the work and the results so far ob- 

 tained. 



Speaking for Quarantines. 

 R. Kent Beattie, speaking of federal 

 control restrictions, explained the real 

 meaning of "quarantine." He showed 

 that the quarantines had saved thou- 

 sands of dollars by excluding pests and 

 he drove home the point that quaran-
