MEETING AT VANCOUVER. 



Pacific Coast Men in Session. 



The Pacific Coast Association of Nurs- 

 erymen is holding its twelfth annual 

 meeting this week at Vancouver, B. C. 

 As the association has some 350 mem- 

 bers, counting individnals as well as 

 firms that have badges, the attendance 

 is fairly large and is representative of 

 the rapidly growing trade interests in 

 the Pacific northwest. The south is not 

 strongly represented, as this is the sec- 

 ond year in succession that the associa- 

 tion has met in the north, farther from 

 Los Angeles than New York is from 

 Chicago. 



The program was laid out with skill. 

 The convention is a three days' aflfair. 

 It opened Tuesday morning, June 16, 

 and will close Thursday afternoon with 

 the election of new officers and the next 

 place of meeting. It was arranged to 

 get through the routine work at the 

 first session, to devote the second and 

 third mornings to papers and discussions 

 and to use the afternoons and evenings 

 for recreation. 



The Routine Work. 



After the usual preliminaries, includ- 

 ing address of welcome and responses 

 by R. D. Rorison, of Vancouver, and 

 President Richard Layritz, the minutes 

 were read as the report of Secretary 

 C. A. Tonneson, who also reported as 



You may dUcontinu* our adTor- 

 tiaoment, as we are through with our

 you another order for fall, as THE

 TORY.— FranhlinDavis Nursery Co.,

 The chairmen are: 



Executive — C. L. Trotter, Vancouver, B. C. 



Committee of Presidents — A. Brownell, Fort- 

 land, Ore.

M. McDonald, president of the Ore- 

 gon Nursery Co., Orenco, Ore., for the 

 committee on uniform horticultural laws, 

 was able to report only slight progress. 

 Each state represented in the associa- 

 tion has a legislative committee and re- 

 ports showed some cessation of activity 

 on the part of state law-making bodies 

 so far as the horticultural trades are 

 concerned. The chairmen of the com- 

 mittees are: 



Oregon — F. W. Power, Orenco. 



California — F. H. Wilson, Fresno.

The Market. 



A large business has been transacted
