Publicity and Trade Opportunities. 



W. G. Campbell, chairman of the 

 committee on publicity and trade op- 

 portunities, stated that the work of 

 the committee for the last year had 

 been confined to an investigation of 

 the work that might be done most 

 profitably by the committee and of the 

 manner in which it might best be done- 

 It therefore sought the opinion of 

 prominent nurserymen, editors and 

 planters on a number of points. The 

 majority seemed to believe that fruit 

 tree planting had reached its height 

 and would be less during the next few 

 years, but that there is untold oppor- 

 tunity for further planting of orna- 

 mentals. The question of developing 

 export trade, particularly to South 

 America, was generally answered in the 

 negative in view of the large oppor- 

 tunities at home. 



Fault is found with the present ad- 

 vertising of nurserymen. It is inef- 

 fective, is the belief, because it pre- 

 sents no definite offer and is lacking 

 in educational tone. General coopera- 

 tion within the trade is to be sought 

 before a general advertising campaign 

 could' be carried on profitably. A more 

 thorough-going organization, a closer 

 knowledge of conditions and needs, and 

 the adoption of modern business meth- 

 ods are felt to be preliminary to a cam- 

 paign on behalf of the trade.

 tion of some length, Mr. Jenkins pre- 

 sented to the audience various time 

 and labor-saving methods of propaga- 

 tion followed in his nursery. 



The first session closed with an in- 

 teresting question box, of which J. W. 

 Hill, of Des Moines, la., was the leader.

 dents was postponed to Thursday even- 

 ing for the nomination of officers.
