STARK LITIGATION SETTLED. 



At a meeting held at the office of 

 Judge Elijah Robinson in Kansas City 

 October 16 the various suits and busi- 

 ness differences existing between W. P. 

 Stark and the Stark Bros. Nurseries 

 & Ondiarils Co. were settled. 



According to the terms of the settle- 

 ment W. P. Stark agreed to dismiss the 

 receivership suit now pending and pay 

 all court costs; also to repurchase the 

 Rolla, Mo., orchard, paying .$10,000 in 

 cash and other considerations according 

 to the original agreement. He also 

 agreed to pay a $9,000 note, on which 

 the company had brought suit at Neosho, 

 together with costs, and to settle open 

 accounts according to the books of the 

 company. 



Stark Bros. Nurseries & Orchards 

 Co. agreed to purchase from W. P. Stark 

 his one-third interest in the eighty acres 

 of land near Louisiana, Mo., in regard 

 to which partition suits are pending, for 

 $3,100, to pay the costs of the suits, 

 and to declare accrued dividends to the 

 stockholders, the dividends having been 

 withheld the last two years; also to 

 declare the regular dividend in De-

 Delicious apple tree and W. P. Stark

Annual Meeting at San Diego. 



One of the most enjoyable conventions 

 ever held by the California Association 

 of Nurserymen, and a most successful 

 one from both the educational and busi- 

 ness points of view, was opened by Pres- 

 ident D. W. Cooli<lge at midday, October 

 ]'), in the fine convention hall of the 

 r. S. Grant hotel at San Diego. The hall 

 was finely decorated with |)alms, ferns, 

 fruit and cut flowers. Some were sim- 

 l»ly for decoration, while others were 

 exhibits by various members of the 

 trade. All were skillfully arranged by 

 K. Beiiard, Miss Kate Sessions and Wal- 

 ter Birch, of the Harris Seed Co., all of 

 whom exerted themselves to the utmost. 

 There were over 200 present when the 



convention opened and many more ar- 

 rived on later trains and 'also the next 

 ••ay. 



Calling the convention to order, Mr. 

 Coolidge introduced Mayor O'Neall, who 

 in a most happy vein welcomed the vis- 

 itors to San Diego. His references- to 

 ' ' grafters ' ' and the suggestions for use- 

 ful (f) plants that could be raised by 

 grafting called forth much hilarity, but 

 through the fun the true note of welcome 

 was struck and this was followed out 

 all through the convention by the open- 

 handed hospitality everywhere prevail- 



in";. 



The President's Address. 



President Coolidge, in his opening ad- 

 dress, went briefly into the exposition 

 preparations that were going on and paid 

 a well deserved tribute to those who are 

 j)rei)aring this great an<l unique shOw, 

 that even at this early date is wonder- 

 fully interesting. Mr. Coolidge 's quaint 



humor and ready wit would have nm (> 

 him a lecturer or writer of fame had c 

 not elected instead to be a successt d 

 nurseryman. Ernest Braunton followil 

 with his response to the address of wc i 

 come and ])raised highly the spleiidMl 

 work done in the parks by John Morh> . 

 This jiaved the way for the energetn 

 and genial secretary-treasurer, Hemv 

 Kruckeberg. His report, besides show 

 ing a healthy condition of affairs, Wiis 

 brimming over with optimism and god.l 

 cheer. 



Space would not allow reference to .ill 

 the excellent i)apers read. Geo. Rod 

 ing, of the Faucher Creek Nurseries, 

 Fresno, in his report as chairman of tiic 

 legislative committee, laid considerable 

 stress on the need for uniform state laws, 

 and F. H. Wilson, of Dinuba, gave an in 

 teresting report as chairman of the com 

 mittee on transportation. G. A. Denni 

 son sent a telegram from San Francisco 

 which was read by the secretary and

The Hifhway to Hardy Perennials 



L«ads Straickt to «li« 



PALISADES NURSERIES 



npHERE you will find all kinds, and 

 '■ you can take your pick from the best 

 that grow. Perennials add a feeling of 

 permanency to your home surroundings. 

 They change their plumage, but not their 

 face, and keep reflecting the seasons all 

 the year around. 



FALL PLANTINQ-To grow moat hardy 

 perennials and old - fashioned flowers 

 succe-sfully, plant in October and No- 

 vember, like planting Spring- flowering 

 bulbs. They then root during Fall and 

 Winter, and are ready for Spring and 

 Summer blooming. 



No grounds are really gar :<ened without 

 a big showing in perennials. We are 

 headquarters for perennials, and assure 

 the widest latitude in choice as well as 

 the most courteous promptitude in cor- 

 respondence and service. Our motto— 

 "Maximum Quality at Minimum Coat."
