The Florists^ Review 



JULT 6, 1922 



and to work toward uniform state regulations 

 covering interstate shipment of nursery stock. 



We hope, through the aid of Mr. Detwiler, to 

 have the Department of Agriculture publish the 

 above-described bulletin complete as soon as 

 the data contained in the manuscript are known 

 to be complete and correct. 



The outline of the plan and the charts will 

 be available for inspection during the three days 

 of the convention. We hope that all nurserymen 

 who are interested in the federal quarantines 

 and state regulations covering the movement of 

 their nursery stock will inspect the outlines and 

 oflFer any criticism or suggestions that may be 

 helpful in carrying this work through to com- 

 pletion. 



At thia point the secretary of the 

 American Pomological Society was in- 

 troduced. He explained briefly the 

 work of his society and asked that the 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 give his association moral support and 

 take out membership in the society. 



A letter from Secretary Wallace, of 

 the Department of Agriculture, was read. 

 In this letter Secretary Wallace agreed 

 with the American Association of 

 Nurserymen that it would be well to 

 have an advisory committee to cooper- 

 ate with the board, when matters within 

 the scope of both came x^p. At a later 

 meeting of the association it was de- 

 cided that the president appoint a com- 

 mittee to act as such an advisory board. 

 Those so appointed are J. W. Hill, M. B. 

 Caahman and Harlan P. Kelsey. And it 

 was decided that J. W. Hill write a res- 

 olution, to be presented to Secretary 

 Wallace, showing the association's at- 

 titude. 



Chicago Next. 



The report of the state vice-presi- 

 dents, through their chairman, as to 

 choice of officers, is set forth in the first 

 paragraph of this report. The last de- 

 cision of the state vice-presidents was 

 that Hot Springs, Ark., be the next 

 meeting place. This suggestion acted 

 like an electric shock. At once J. W. 

 Hill leaped to his feet and spoke for his 

 home town, Des Moines, la. West 

 Baden, Ind., was suggested; Chicago 

 was suggested. And after two ballots 

 Chicago won over Des Moines by 61 to 

 50. So the association will meet in 

 Chicago next year. But J. W. Hill 

 promised that Des Moines would be on 

 the job for the nomination next year 

 and he then moved that Chicago be 

 unanimously chosen. It was. 



Friday morning the report of the 

 vigilance committee at once took the 

 interest of the members. During this 

 report one firm was practically found 

 blameless of a charge against it, while 

 four other firms were expelled from 

 membership in the American Associa- 

 tion of Nurserymen. The discussion 

 consumed well over two hours. 



Henry B. Chase, of Chase, Ala., had a 

 surprise in store in his lecture on 

 ' ' What 's Around the Corner! ' ' Taking 

 a far look into the future, he pointed 

 out the fallacy of overproduction and 

 explained just how it would detrimen- 

 tally affect the market. Overproduction, 

 he showed, would mean, in the long run, 

 selling at pre-war prices with a post- 

 war overhead, and "we shall be back to 

 normalcy with a vengeance." 



Then the preliminary report of the 

 committee on standardization of hor- 

 ticultural trade practice came up for a 

 continuation of the discussion that had 

 started before the report had been re- 

 ferred to the retail nurserymen for dis- 

 cussion. The retailers at their meeting 

 Thursday night had suggested certain 

 changes in the grading table of fruit 

 trees and in two of the rulings. After a 

 prolonged discussion the entire matter 

 by motion was referred back to the
