 be held at Milwaukee. June 10 to 12. 1908. 



LoNiCEEA Periclymenum is a native 

 of Europe, a particularly fine specimen 

 of climber, having beads of fragrant red 

 and yellow flowera in great profusion. 

 Ihere are several varieties, those that do 

 not begin to flower until late in the sea- 

 son being recommended for the northern 

 states. 



Some surprising figures were tabu- 

 lated at the recent nut growers' meeting 

 at Monticello, as to the acreage of com- 

 mercial pecan orchards. In four Georgia 

 and five Florida counties the area report- 

 ed amounts to 6,885 acres or about 140,- 

 000 trees. In this tabulation none of the 

 seedling orchards were counted. 



A BODY of men who called themselves 

 the Prosperity Association held a con- 

 vention at St. Louis a fortnight ago, but 

 the real prosperity body is in session at 

 Milwaukee this week. There is hardly 

 a nurseryman who has anything but good 

 words to say of the spring season and 

 there is unanimity of opinion that next 

 year will be the best yet. 



THE MILVAUKEE CONVENTION. 



Milwaukee, June 10. — The Plankin- 

 ton bouse began to fill up with nursery- 

 men June 9 and the attendance at the 

 opening hour today was fully as large as 

 at any previous session. This is the 

 thirty-third annual. There is a large 

 trade exhibit, comprising the usual line 

 of samples, although not all were in 

 place this morning. 



It was considerably past the announced 

 hour when J. W. Hill, the president, 

 called to order and, after the usual pre- 

 liminaries in the way of welcome and 

 response, read his annual address. In 

 his paper he recounted the progress made 

 in the last year and proposed a number 

 of activities for the association in the 

 future. He was followed by Secretary 

 Seager and Treasurer Yates with their 

 annual reports, which showed the so- 

 ciety to be making progress. 



The balance of the morning was given 

 to the reports of standing committees. 

 Possibly the most important of these was 

 the report of the committee on legisla- 

 tion, read by Wm. Pitkin, and published 

 in this issue. 



There will be sessions at 9 a. m. on 

 Thursday and Friday, June 11 and 12, 

 the larger part of each day being left 

 open for intercourse between the mem- 

 bers, for not the least important feature 

 of the convention is the large amount 

 of business which is transacted between 

 those in attendance. 



The early arrivals were unanimous in 

 reporting an excellent season's business. 

 The general satisfaction so overshadows 

 the few reasons for complaint that the 

 trade looks forward to next season with 

 great optimism.

 10, Wm. Pitkin, as chairman of the com-

At the convention of 1907, a resolu- 

 tion was passed authorizing the com- 

 mittee to test the law which had been 

 previously enacted by the legislature of 

 South Dakota, attempting to regulate 

 the shipments and distribution of nurs- 

 ery stock within the borders of that 

 state. 



Following the rules of the association, 

 your chairman invited several western 

 nurserymen who were largely interested 

 in South Dakota business to act as mem- 

 bers of the committee in reference par- 

 ticularly to the South Dakota matter, 

 viz.: B. E. Fields, of Fremont, Neb.; 

 E. M. Sherman, Charles City, la.; E. F. 

 Edmondson, of Perry, la. Consultation 

 with these gentlemen, and with the mem- 

 bers of the executive committee, showed 

 that it was the unanimous opinion that 

 a test case should be pushed through. 



Our attorneys, McGuire & Wood, were 

 therefore instructed to proceed, and were 

 able to arrange with the authorities of 

 South Dakota for a test case, which 

 was promptly brought before the supreme 

 court of that state, and decided in the 

 main in favor of the nursery interests. 

 The decision touched only on certain 

 sections of the act, and for that reason 

 did not declare the entire act unconsti- 

 tutional, as we hoped. 



Hardy Pinks 



Perpetual Snow. The finest of all the 

 hardy Dianthus. Quite large, double, pure 

 white, fringed flowers all summer and 

 autumn, that are richly clove scented. In- 

 valuable in making up Funeral Pieces, Bou- 

 quets and for loose flowers. 



Strong plants with i-olid balls, in 2Vin. 

 pots, in bloom. $8.00 per 100; $25.00 per 1000. 



Large year-old clumps, $6.00 per 100. 



Also Abbotsford (carmine pink). Her 

 Majesty and Mrs. Sinkins (pure white), and 

 Souvenir de Salle (deep pink), all excellent 

 hardy Pinks; strong plants with solid balls, 

 from 2ia-in. pots, $3.00 per 100.

The test case came before the court 

 in this manner: It was arranged that 

 a salesman representing an Iowa nurs- 

 eryman was to take orders for nursery 

 stock in South Dakota, regardless of the 

 fact that his employer had not filed the 

 entomologist 's certificate, or taken out a 

 license, and had not observed any of the 

 provisions of the law. The agent was 

 arrested for violation of the law, and ap- 

 plication was made to the supreme court 

 for his discharge on habeas corpus. 



This action simply brought into ques- 

 tion such provisions of the law as had 

 been violated by the agent and his prin- 

 cipals, viz.: the requirement for the fil- 

 ing of the entomologist's certificate, the 

 procuring of a permit and the require-
