stoidv, but the idc;i lias never been i-ar 

 ried out. S(niie members have hoped that 

 the news matt<'r furnished the jiress by 

 the National ('ouiicil of Jlorticulture 

 would accomjdish this result, luit it is 

 evident that this plan is a ftiihire. It 

 has been contended by otluns that the 

 jmldicity committei! of the association 

 should ](re]iare articles to be furnished 

 the agricnltni al |ia|iers, to helji stimii- 

 l.atc demand for certain lines of sto(dv; 

 lull this plan. loo. will liUtdv fail. If 

 a really goixl article is furnished, one 

 jiaper will nriiit it. pt'ihaps. but only 

 one. for when once printed it is no 

 longer news, and other |ia]K'rs will not 

 want it. 



I believe that if this association 

 should decide upon a general publicity 

 campaign, the advertising must be in 

 th(» form of good dis[day advertising, 

 good copy must be jirepared, and space 

 must be bought in jiapers which are 

 really worth using. 'I'liis is the plan 

 whi(di other organizations follow to cre- 

 ate a demand for their respective ])rod- 

 ucts. and it is one which I'an well be 

 considered by nurserymen. 



Oranges and Canned Goods. 



.\ few years ago the production of 

 oranges had increased to sucn an extent 

 th.at the market would not consume the 

 cr(jji. bid the orange groweis (tut down 

 their trees to decrease the supply of 

 fruit.' No, indeed. Instead, they out- 

 lined an (daborate atlvertising cani- 

 ])aign to increase consumption, and their 

 plan succeeded. We all remember the

 These advertisements dwelt upon ' 

 wholesonieness of the fruit as an arti 

 of food, not merely as a luxury. Ati'

 of the fruit, and the price of oraic
