The Weekly Florists^ Review. 



Jdnb 20, 1907. 



of the country. It was also recommended 

 that the state vice-presidents notify the 

 president when there is danger of some 

 new and inimical law being passed by 

 the state. A mutual fire insurance asso- 

 ciation was also recommended, in order 

 to provide cheaper insurance. 



After considerable discussion the spe- 

 cial representative was dropped for the 

 ensuing year. It was decided to make 

 arrangements with a Chicago firm to 

 keep the association posted on all threat- 

 ened changes in railroad freight rates 

 that might prove a disadvantage to the 

 nurserymen of the country. 



The committee on the grading of nurs- 

 ery stock was not ready to hand in its 

 report; therefore this was put off until 

 the meeting in Milwaukee in 1908. 



Many of the state inspectors were pres- 

 ent during the meetings; these were 

 called on Friday for a few words. Prof. 

 Forbes, representing the Association of 

 Economic Entomologists and the Asso- 

 ciation of Horticultural Inspectors, 

 stated that a law to provide for uniform 

 inspection had been prepared and will 

 be submitted at the next session of con- 

 gress. Professors Smith, of Georgia; 

 Atwood, of New York, and Taft, of 

 Michigan, also responded with a few 

 remarks, all seeming in favor of uniform 

 inspection rates. 



On recommendation of E. W. Kirk- 

 patrick, of Texas, it was resolved that 

 the association meet all the expenses of 

 the committee on uniform law. 

 _ The question box contained many ques- 

 tions, which were discussed at different 

 times during the meetings. 



Essays. 



The program called for about forty 

 essays or five minute talks, but only 

 about twelve members were on hand with 

 papers. Among these were: C. C. May- 

 hew and John Siebenthaler, on "Pre- 

 paring Nursery Land ; " C. M. Hobbs, on 

 "Cultivating Nursery Stock;" E. S. 

 Welch, on "Growing and Grading Apple 

 Seedlings and Apple Trees;" J. M. Un- 

 derwood, on "The Storage of Nursery 

 Stock ; " J. M. Pitkin and E. P. Bernar- 

 din, on "Standard Sizes or Grades for 

 Fruit Trees ; ' ' George Marshall, on ' ' Cul- 

 tivating Nursery Stock ; " F. W. Watson, 

 on "Growing and Grading Apple Seed- 

 lings and Apple Trees;" J. C. Hale, on 

 "Peach Growing;" George H, Whiting, 

 on ' * Marketing Nursery Stock ; " J. H. 

 Dayton, on "The Need of Cooperation 

 Among Nurserymen." Essays submit- 

 ted by R. G. Chase, W. T. Hood, D. S. 

 Lake, Chas. E. Greening and several oth- 

 ers, were read by the secretary. 



E. G. Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was 

 present and on behalf of the American 

 Rose Society invited active cooperation. 

 He said that it was a sad fact that the 

 names of few nurserymen are on the list 

 of the Rose Society, whose object it is to 

 advertise the rose, thereby aiding the 

 nurserymen. He invited their aid in the 

 matter of the national show. 



Prof. John Craig, of Cornell, deliv- 

 ered a very interesting lecture on "The 

 Nurseries of the Country." Views were 

 shown and described by the lecturer, 

 most of them having been taken by him- 

 self in all parts of the United States 

 and Canada.

 the delegates enjoyed the hospitality of 

 these people for several hours. A hur- 

 ried trip was taken through what is the 

 largest laboratory in the world. Then 

 the boat took the party to Belle Isle 

 park, where they were entertained by 

 Park Commissioner Breitmeyer. Friday 

 afternoon the whole party took a trolley 

 ride to Logan Cabin park. Many of the 

 delegates took a side trip to Monroe,
