which came before the meeting were of 

 widespread interest and attracted an 

 exceedingly large and enthusiastic at- 

 tendance. The nurserymen represent a 

 large part of the wealth of this state 

 and their convention is an important 

 matter to the public, which was invited 

 to all the sessions. 



One of the most important matters 

 presented was that of rural credits. In- 

 vitations were sent to the bankers of 

 California to attend the first session, 

 at which E. J. Wickson of Berkeley, 

 and Col. Harry Weinstock, of San Fran- 

 cisco, delivered addresses on this sub- 

 ject. These men were both on the com- 

 mission appointed by the governors of 

 the various states to consider the Euro- 

 pean systems, with an idea of estab- 

 lishing a similar system here. Walter 

 D. O'Brien, manager of the bond de- 

 partment of the Agricultural Credit 

 Corporation of California presented the 

 plans of that organization for loans to 

 fAi-iners. A lively discussion followed 

 the addresses. 



The two expositions to be held in 

 California in 1915, at San Francisco and 

 at San Diego, were discussed in their 

 relation to the nursery business. George 

 A. Dennison, chief of horticulture of
