CAI.IFOBNIA NXTBSEBYMEN. 



The California Nurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation is the name of an organization 

 that has recently been formed and is 

 affiliated with the Pacific Coast Asso-

 liminaries arranged and twenty-six 

 members enlisted. 



The officers are: President, W. V. 

 Eberly; vice-presidents, Messrs. How- 

 ard, Chisholm, Wheeler and Wilson; 

 secretary, H. W. Kruckeberg; execu- 

 tive committee, Messrs. Crow, How-

PACIFIC COAST NUESEBYMEN. 



Their Convention at San Jose. 



The ninth annual convention of the 

 Pacific Coast Association of Nurserymen 

 was held in Odd Fellows * hall, San Jose, 

 Cal., June 21 to 23. Over 100 enthusi- 

 astic members were present and the 

 meeting was by far the most success- 

 ful one ever held by the association. 



The address of welcome was delivered 

 by Mayor C. W. Davison, who was in- 

 troduced by President George C. Eoed- 

 ing and who responded in a most 

 hearty and appropriate fashion. Joseph 

 T. Brooks, secretary of the Chamber of 

 Commerce, followed with a few timely 

 remarks, in which he referred to the 

 great amount of good done in the dis- 

 semination of new fruits and flowers by 

 those who were actively engaged in 

 propagating and selling on this coast. 

 President P. A. Dix gave a hearty re- 

 sponse and Secretary-Treasurer C. A. 

 Tonneson read the minutes and reports 

 of the last meeting, which were quite 

 interesting and received the indorse- 

 ment of the association. 



Beports and recommendations of vice- 

 presidents were then made. A. W. Mc- 

 Donald, of Toppenish, Wash.; J. B. Pil- 

 kington, of Portland, Ore.; Ray Hart- 

 ley, of Emmett, Idaho; W. V. Eberly, 

 of Niles, Cal.; E. M. Tyson, of Brig- 

 ham City, Utah; Leonard Coates, of 

 Morgan Hill, Cal., and Albert Brownell, 

 all bore testimony that nursery inter- 

 ests in each of their several localities 

 were in a prosperous condition and that 

 indications for the future were never 

 brighter. M. McDonald, of Orenco, 

 Ore., and P. A. Dix, of Roy, Idaho, on 

 the legislative committee, said that 

 there was much to be done of vital in- 

 terest to the- trade in Utah and that 

 the legislature in Utah needed consid- 

 erable attention, or laws might be 

 passed that would mean ruination to 

 the nursery business. S. A. Miller, of 

 the membership committee, made his 

 report, as also did C. F. Breithaupt, of 

 the reception committee. 



These gentlemen were thanked by 

 President Roeding for the manner in 

 which they had filled their offices. M. 

 McDonald then spoke on "Nurserymen 

 and Horticultural Authorities," and a 

 general discussion of the subject was 

 indulged in for some minutes. H. W. 

 Krnckeberg followed with a paper on

"Stray Thoughts on the Quarantine 

 Laws and Their Execution." This arti- 

 cle was written by J. S. Armstrong and 

 covered that phase of the nursery inter- 

 ests in a concise and complete manner. 

 J. W. Jeffrey, commissioner of horti- 

 culture, followed with an address along 

 the same lines and a general discussion 

 took place at its close. S. A. Miller, of 

 Milton, Ore., took for his subject ' ' Atti- 

 tude of Nurserymen Toward Horticul- 

 tural Laws and Inspectors," and the 

 propositions involved were well handled 

 by him. 



Second Day's Session. 



The second day's session was opened 

 by President Roeding, introducing Prof. 



E. J. Wickson, who spoke on "Why the 

 Nurseryman Should Stand in the Posi- 

 tion of an Educator to the Fruit-grow- 

 ers." This was a splendid r6sum6 of 

 the better conditions that would be 

 made possible if all in the trade exerted 

 their utmost to bring them about. C. 



F. Breithaupt read a paper on "Grad- 

 ing Nursery Stock." A. McGill gave 

 an address on "Plans for Growing and 

 Keeping Nursery Stock." A. W. Mc- 

 Donald read a paper on "Apple Seed- 

 lings in the Northwest." C. F. Lansing 

 spoke on "The Value of Cleaning 

 Seedlings Before Planting." 



Mr. Chase proffered a hearty welcome 

 to the nurserymen to go to Salt Lake 

 City next year, after several of the 

 members had stated that the selection 

 of a place which would bring the most 

 new members and include the biggest 

 territory should be made. His kind of- 

 fer was accepted, and, by a unanimous 

 vote, the convention was ordered held 

 at Salt Lake City in 1912. The mo- 

 tion of J. B. Pilkington, to have the 

 association request that the American 

 Association of Nurserymen hold its 

 meeting in 1913 with the Pacific Coast 

 Association, and that it be asked to 

 give this matter its consideration, was 

 enthusiastically received. The associa- 

 tion will take the necessary action to 

 bring about this joint meeting by con- 

 solidation. The association favored 

 Portland, but even if Portland were not 

 to have the honor, they wanted to see 

 this convention come to the Pacific 

 coast. 



The following committees were ap- 

 pointed: Committee on grading stock, 

 P. A. Dix, A. W. McDonald, S. A. Mil- 

 ler, W. Eberly, Charles Trotter; com- 

 mittee on president's address, P. A.
