Officers for 1910-11: Pres., \V. P. Stark. Louisi- 

 ana, Mo.; Vice-pros., E. S. Welch, Shfiiaiidoah, 

 la.; Sec'y, John Hall, Rochestur, N Y. : Treas.,

C. J. Maloy, of Ellvvanger & Barry, 

 was a visitor at Chicago June 27, on his 

 way home to Kochester after a trip to 

 the Pacific coast after the Denver con- 

 vention. 



Jac Smits, who has been in trouble 

 with the customs authorities at New 

 York, has been freed from the charge of 

 presenting false consular invoices for 

 importations of nursery stock. 



C. F. Gee, eldest son of John R. Gee. 

 a nurseryman of Bloomington, 111., was 

 drowned June 10 in Lake Washington, 

 at Seattle, Wash., while boating. He had 

 been employed by a grocery firm in 

 Seattle since the beginning of last March. 



B. E. Fields & Son, who were estab- 

 lished at Fremont, Neb., in 1868, say the 

 season of 1910 was one of the most pe- 

 culiar in their experience. Everything in 

 their section of the country is extremely 

 late, but the spring season was fair, 

 though not as good as usual. The pres- 

 ent season is opening up well. 



The business of the Pioneer Nursery, 

 Monrovia, Cal., has been sold by R. H. 

 Wilson to a company styled the Pioneer 

 Nursery Co., of which A. Foster is presi- 

 dent and Geo. H. Jackson manager. Mr. 

 Jackson has been connected with the es- 

 tablishment for eight years, and during 

 the last five years he has had charge of 

 the ornamental and sales department. 

 Mr. Wilson retires from active partici- 

 pation in the business, to devote his en- 

 tire attention to the growing of decidu- 

 ous fruit trees, which will be handled ex- 

 clusively by the Pioneer Nursery Co. The 

 nursery was founded by him in 1876. 



RETAILERS' ASSOCIATION. 



The Retail Nurserymen 's Associa- 

 tion, at its annual meeting held at 

 Denver, June 8, reelected the following 

 officers: President, Charles J. Brown, 

 Rochester; vice-president, F. H. Stan- 

 nard, Ottawa, Kan.; secretary and 

 treasurer, Guv A. Brvant, Princeton, 

 111. 



TOO MANY VARIETIES. 



[A paper hy E. S. Osborne, of Rochester, N. 

 Y.. road at the thlrty-flfth annual conTention of 

 the American Association of Nurserymen, at 

 Denver, June 8 to 10, 1910.] 



The question of varieties is one that 

 can b^ "Siscussed from several^ points 

 of viewtjL ' The peiaf- that I tyi ah — fctr 

 bring to your attenJ;ion is the number 

 of varieties that are listed by the dif- 

 ferent firms who issue catalogues. It 

 seems to me that we are all inclined to 

 catalogue altogether too many varieties 

 of almost every class of stock.

Take apples, for instance. You can 

 take a dozen different catalogues, count 

 up the number of varieties catalogued 

 and you will find all the way from sixty 

 to 200. It seems to me that even 

 sixty is altogether too many. How 

 much better it would be for all of us 

 if we could confine ourselves to, say, 

 thirty or forty of the best sorts and 

 eliminate all of the balance! It would 

 make it a great deal easier for every- 

 one connected with the business. It 

 would reduce the chances for errors 

 in both budding and grafting, as well as 

 the errors that occur in filling the 

 orders. 



The Needs of Different Localities. 



I appreciate the fact that it would be 

 impossible to make a uniform list of 

 apples of thirty or forty varieties that 

 would fit every section of the country. 

 I a^n .also aware of the fact that, our 

 western br^l;hren grovy and sell in large 

 quantities, a number of varieties that 

 are seldom sold in th«.ea8t, while we in 

 the east grow and sell a number that 

 are never sold in the west. This, how- 

 ever, should not deter us from striving
