TEXAS NURSERYMEN MEET. 



The Texas Nurserymen 's Association 

 met at Palestine, Tex., on January 25, 

 as reported briefly in last week 's Review. 



The meeting was called to order by 

 President E. W. Kirkpatrick, who stated 

 the object to be to consider the coming 

 convention of the American Association 

 of Nurserymen at Dallas, and to con- 

 sider ways and means for proper hand- 

 ling and entertainment. 



Members of the entertainment com- 

 mittee, appointed by the State Nursery- 

 men 's Association, announced that they 

 were making elaborate preparations and 

 that it would necessitate the raising of 

 a strong fund to be placed at their dis- 

 posal. A motion prevailed that the sec- 

 retary open the books at once for sub- 

 scriptions, and a good liberal subscrip- 

 tion by those present was realized. The 

 finance committee were admonished to 

 raise not less than $2,500 for use in the 

 entertainment of this convention. 



The program committee of the Ameri- 

 can Association, J. S. Kerr, of Sherman, 

 chairman, reported progress. The fore- 

 noon sessions only will be given to 

 addresses, and to reports of committees, 

 while the remainder of the time will be 

 given to entertainment of the visitors. 

 Luther Burbank and Prof. Wickson, of 

 California, have been invited to attend 

 and take part in the program. The pro- 



gram committee further reported that 

 the transportation committee and the 

 legislative committee will be given ample 

 time to lay before the convention the 

 good work these committees have done, 

 the former the important concessions 

 they have been able to secure in trans- 

 portation rates on nursery stock, the lat- 

 ter upon the good work they are doing 

 in getting uniform interstate regulations 

 in the inspection laws. 



A letter from the Western Asso- 

 ciation of Nurserymen outlines that this 

 association will meet at Kansas City and 

 come to Dallas in a body. Mr. Knox 

 has had made a large number of rubber 

 stamps containing a star and in it the 

 sentence, ' ' Texas invites you to Dallas 

 in 1906. ' ' Texas nurserymen are re- 

 quested to Tise these stamps on their 

 stationery on letters going out of the 

 state.
