A MEETING of the Gulf Coast Nursery- 

 men 's Association was held at the Great 

 Southern hotel, Gulfport, Miss., Septem- 

 ber 17, at which President Theo. Bechtel, 

 of Ocean Springs, Miss., presided and 

 Robertson Palmer acted as secretary. The 

 citrus canker and the proposed quaran- 

 tine on grapefruit and Citrus trifoliata 

 stock were discussed at length. 



One of the largest exhibits of nursery 

 stock at the California state fair was 

 that of the Silva-Bergtholdt Co., pro- 

 prietors of the Placer Nurseries, at New- 

 castle, Cal. Leading varieties of de- 

 ciduous trees planted in California made 

 up the display. J. E. Bergtholdt, head 

 of the concern, was in charge. This com- 

 pany has 600 acres in nursery stock and 

 900 acres in bearing orchards. 



EUROPEAN STOCK IS COMING. 



The pessimistic predictions in regard 

 to this season 's imports of nursery stock 

 are not likely to come true. Those who 

 declared there would be no stock for 

 the trade from European countries this 

 fail are now learning their error. Some 

 stock is already actually in this country 

 and more is on the water. How large 

 the receipts will be in comparison with 

 other years cannot even be guessed at. 

 It is possible that what has proved true 

 in the case of the seedsmen may prove 

 true with the nurserymen, namely, that 

 stock that was erpected to be scarce has 

 proved more plentiful than ever before, 

 owing to the stock intended for other 

 countries in Europe being shipped to the 

 United States. He is a rash man, how- 

 ever, who would at the present moment 

 make a bet one way or the other. 



On the steamer Nieuw Amsterdam, 

 from Rotterdam, which arrived at New 

 York September 21, there were a num- 

 ber of consignments of nursery stock. 

 Five cases of peony roots came to F. B. 

 Vandegrift & Co. The other consign- 

 ments, which were of trees, were as fol- 

 lows:

CALIFORNIANS TO MEET. 



Will Hold Fourtli Annual Meeting. 



The California Association of Nur- 

 serymen will hold its fourth annual 

 meeting October 15 to 17 at the U. S. 

 Grant hotel, San Diego. Preparations 

 have been made for a meeting of un- 

 usual interest, and the program contains 

 much that should prove of value to the 

 nurserymen of the state. 



The first two days of the meeting will 

 be given over to the transacting of 

 business and to papers and discussions. 

 The third day, Saturday, will be spent 

 in pleasure. In the morning at 9:30 

 the grounds and buildings of the Pan- 

 ama-California exposition will be vis- 

 ited; at 12:00 a picnic lunch will be 

 served at the Mission Cliff Park and 



Gardens, and at 1:30 will start an auto- 

 mobile ride to points of interest. A 

 special entertainment feature has been 

 prepared by the Pasadena Board of 

 Trade for those who stop off at that 

 city on their way home. Monday, Octo- 

 ber 19, an automobile ride to the public 

 and private plant collections of Pasa- 

 dena and environs will be given. Those 

 who plan to go should hand their names 

 to D. W. CooUdge before the convention 

 adjourns. 



Members of the association are to 

 have the benefit of reduced railroad 

 rates; a fare and one-third will be the 

 cost of the round trip from all Pacific 

 coast points, on the receipt-certificate 

 plan. 



Splendid facilities have been ob- 

 tained at the Grant hotel for staging 

 exhibits and the association's display 

 should be a large one. All exhibits 

 should be sent by prepaid express to 

 E. Benard, care Harris Seed Co., 1724 

 F street, San Diego, so as to reach him 

 not later than Wednesday, October 14. 



Tlie Program.
