contained a pressing invitation to the 

 nurserymen and others of the southern 

 part of the state to visit the northern 

 city next year during the exposition. He 

 also expressed regret at not being 'able 

 to be present. In the evening Geo. 

 Rooding spoke on his pet hobby, the 

 Smyrna fig, illustrating his most inter- 

 esting lecture with colored lantern 

 slides. 



The second day of the convention was 

 almost entirely devoted to papers and 

 reports, all of which were of great inter- 

 est. One of the most interesting of all 

 was John Morley's, on "Treating Our 

 Refractory Soils with Dynamite," and 

 he explained his methods quite clearly. 

 Ladies ' night was under the auspices of 

 the San Diego Floral Association and 

 consisted o'f music and a splendid paper 

 by the editor of the California Garden, 

 Alfred D, Robinson. His colored slides 

 of plants and flowers were magnificent. 

 He was followed by Miss Kate Sessions 

 and Theodore Payne, of Los 'Angeles, 

 the evening terminating with a dance. 



Saturday was given up entirely to 

 pleasure. In the morning the visitors 

 were all taken to the grounds and build- 

 ings of the Panama-California exposi- 

 tion, where a rich tceat awaited them. 

 There never was a more magnificent site 

 for a big show and the grounds and 

 buildings are in an advanced state of 

 preparation. The lovely park vistas, 

 with the ocean and historic old town 

 and Point Loma in the near distance, 

 form a setting that could not be matched 

 anywhere. At noon a picnic lunch was 

 given at the Mission Cliflf park. Auto- 

 mobile rides to points of interest in the 

 afternoon and a fine banquet at night 

 wound up the finest convention the asso- 

 ciation has ever held. H. R. R. 



NUESEEY IMPORTS HEAVY. 



Exporters at the port of Rotterdam 

 are busily forwarding to this country 

 consignments of nursery stock. It seems 

 to be fairly certain that the stock from 

 the warring countries is being sent to 

 this port — practically the only one of 

 importance on the continent now com- 

 municating with this country with any 

 degree of frequency and regularity — 

 and there reconsigned to the United 

 States. The size of the shipments now 

 coming would at least bear this out. 

 The steamer Veendyk, from Rotterdam, 

 which arrived at the port of New York 

 October 21, brought the following con- 

 signments of trees and shrubs:

 W^oodrow Wilson, with its large over- 

 la .pping oetals of rich crimson pink 

 set in veined, light 

 green foliage.

 Wintzer's Colos- 

 sal, which is by far

 solve your Canna 

 problems. We will 

 furnish free to you 

 rows of swastika
