M. Vandervalden, of Forest lianch, 

 Cal., has established a nursery near 

 there and already has several thousand 

 young trees planted. 



The Senate has adopted the free list 

 paragraph of the tariff bill without 

 changing the clause, "coniferous ever- 

 green seedlings four years old or Jess." 



Incokpoeation papers have been is- 

 sued to the Comal Springs Nursery, of 

 New Braunfels, Tex., with a capital 

 stock of $10,000. The incorporators are 

 Otto Locke, Hermann Locke and Her- 

 man Thiele. 



A BILL has been introduced in Con- 

 gress by Representative Sparkman, of 

 Florida, appropriating $40,000 for the 

 establishment of an experiment station 

 and farm at or near St. Petersburg, 

 Fla., to demonstrate the character of 

 plants, shrubs and trees best adapted 

 to the soil and climate of that section. 



A. A. N. COMMITTEES. 



The list of standing committees of 

 the American Association of Nursery- 

 men is as yet incomplete, owing to the 

 fact that the formal acceptances of 

 some of the appointees have not been 

 received by President Pilkington. The 

 membership committee consists, of 

 course, of the state vice-presidents. 

 The committees on exhibits, arrange- 

 ments, and publicity and trade oppor- 

 tunities are now incomplete. The chair- 

 men of the other standing committees 

 are as follows:

SOUTHERN NURSEEYMEN MEET. 



Endorse Plea for Uniform Laws. 



Is there any significance in the fact 

 that the sixteenth annual meeting of 

 the Southern Nurserymen's Association 

 began with an invocation and closed 

 with the adoption of resolutions asking 

 for relief from the present burdens of 

 legislation? 



The convention was held at Mont 

 Eagle, Tenn., August 27 and 28, with 



President O. Joe Howard, of Pomona, 

 N. C, in the chair. A good part of the 

 discussion related to the legal harass- 

 ments which the trade at present is 

 suffering and the association adopted 

 resolutions endorsing the action of the 

 American Association of Nurserymen 

 and the Pacific Coast Nurserymen's 

 Association in the matter of attempt- 

 ing to get uniform inspection laws for 

 all the states. An appropriation of 

 $200 was made to aid the committee 

 appointed by the national organization 

 to carry on this work. 



Resolutions also were adopted asking 

 for favorable parcel post rates on nurs- 

 ery stock. 



Officers Elected. 



The following officers were elected: 



President — J. R. Mayhew, Waxa- 

 hachie, Tex. 



Vice-president — Harvey M. Temple- 

 ton, Winchester, Tenn. 



Secretary-treasurer — A. I. Smith, 

 Knoxville, Tenn.; re-elected.

 1914.
