AMIBICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUBSEBTMEN. 



OiBcerB for 1908-9: Pres., Charles J. Brown. Ro- 

 cbeBter, N. Y.; Vice-Pres.. C. M. Hobbs, Bridge- 

 port, Ind.; Sec'y, Geo. C. Seager. Rochester. 

 N. Y.; Treas., C. X. Yates, Rochester, N. Y. The 

 84th annual convention will be held at Roches- 

 ter, June, 1909. 



Where a great deal of pruning is to 

 be done, the work should be hastened 

 from now on to a finish, rather than de- 

 lay and run the risk of not being able 

 to do it all, or at best having to do part 

 of it when it will be harmful. 



ILUNOIS HORTICULTURISTS. 



The success of the fifty-third annual 

 convention of the Illinois State Horti- 

 cultural Society, held in Champaign, 111., 

 December 8 to 18, exceeded the expecta- 

 tions of those who prepared the program 

 for it. It is estimated that more than 

 250 people attended the convention, and 

 the ave,rage attendance at each of the 

 thirty sessions was forty. The show of 

 fruit was good, considering the general 

 crop failure throughout Illinois this year. 



The aim of the executive board in get- 

 ting up the program was to make the 

 convention a school of practical horti- 

 culture, as well as a place for the presen- 

 tation of lectures and papers, followed 

 by discussions. The plan was, largely, 

 to follow a lecture, paper or address by 

 a practical demonstration along the same 

 line. This plan was successfully carried 

 out and the interest shown by those in 

 the classes proved its wisdom. 



As an example of this mode of proce- 

 dure: The paper by Prof. C. S. Cran- 

 dall, on "Grafting: Methods and Phys- 

 iology," was illustrated by means of a 

 tree in which the scions were placed ac- 

 cording to the ditferent methods of graft- 

 ing. After listening to this paper the 

 audience adjourned to the Horticultural 

 building, where for two hours W. S. Per- 

 rine, of Centralia, 111., and R. A. Simpson, 

 of Vincennes, Ind., instructed them in 

 the practical work of grafting. Mr. Per- 

 rine makes a specialty of apple orchard- 

 ing, and Mr. Simpson is a nurseryman 

 who propagates cherry trees by the 

 million. 



An exercise which was of special inter- 

 est to the ladies who have house plants 

 was the forenoon given up to the "Win- 

 dow Garden, ' ' and practice in the potting 

 and care of house plants, by H. B. 

 Dorner. 



CHRISTMAS TREES NOT WASTE. 



The country's forests again have been 

 called upon to supply about 4,000,000 

 Christmas trees, and again many persons 

 have asked themselves and have queried 

 the United States Forest Service, ' ' Is 

 the custom a menace to the movement for 

 forest preservation ? ' ' 



"Yes, it is consistent and proper that 

 the custom should be maintained," has 

 been the answer of United States For- 

 ester GiflFord Pinchot in every case. 

 "Trees are for use, and there is no 

 other use to which they could be put 

 which would contribute so much to the 

 joy of man as their use by the children 

 on this one great holiday of the year. 



"The number of trees cut for this use 

 every year is utterly insignificant when 

 compared to the consumption for other 

 purposes for Avhich timber is demanded. 

 Not more than 4,000,000 Christmas trees
