Tuvthing less than full price was con- 

 iltinnefl; also condemning the cut price 

 siiics and the tendency to let planters 

 have trade prices. The transportation 

 ,'oinmittee was instructed to make per- 

 gisfent effort to secure carload rates on 

 p;,:t, cars in excess of full carloads. 

 The following officers were elected: 

 i 'resident — George C. Roeding, Fres- 



D',. Cal. 



-ecretary and treasurer — C. A. Ton- 

 „.-.on, Tacoma, Wash. 



•ice-presidents — For Oregon, J. B. 

 pjlkington, Portland; Washington, G. 

 \V. R. Peaslee, Clarkston; Utah, E. M. 

 T\. in, Brigham City; British Columbia, 

 Ei.iiard Eitz, Victoria; California, W. 

 B. Klserly, Niles; Montana, D. J. Tighe, 

 Bluings; Idaho, C. P. Hartley, Emmett. 



I'he visitors were hospitably enter- 

 tfiined, and the convention was consid- 

 cToi] one of the most successful the as- 

 sociation has yet held. It was the 

 unanimous report that business has been 

 excellent and that the good crop of 

 apples in prospect this season will make 

 it oven better than heretofore. 



NURSERIES TO COMBINE? 



A report from Nora Springs, la., a 

 small town in i'loyd county, of which 

 Charles City is the county seat, says: 



"Assumption of the management of 

 The Sherman Nursery Co., east of here, 

 liy Harry G. Patten, son of C. G. Patten, 

 tiic veteran nurseryman of Iowa, vir- 

 tuiilly means a inerging of the two 

 firms, Patten & Son and the Sher- 

 man Nursery Co. The total acreage 

 in the 'merged nursery is 1,400, which 

 is probably one of the largest in 

 the country. At different times during 

 the year from 700 to 800 men will be 

 employed. The planting, digging the 

 stock, shipping and other work of the 

 nursery will be under the direction of 

 Mr. Patten. July 8 he made his first 

 official trip over the combined acreage 

 and found the cyclometer on his auto- 

 mobile had recorded a trip of thirty- 

 twii miles." 



INFECTED NURSERY STOCK. 



'onsul-General George N. West, of 

 Vancouver, furnishes the following par- 

 ticulars about a large quantity of im- 

 ported nursery plants destroyed by fire 

 in British Columbia, under the direc- 

 tion of the provincial inspector of fruits 

 an. I orchards: 



The trees destroyed came from Japan, 

 Germany, Holland, Belgium, France, the 

 Ignited Kingdom, and from the United 

 '^t les, and consisted of some 30,000 

 t'' > and plants infected with San Jose 

 ""• 'e. borers, root gall, apple-tree an- 

 tli> icnose, pear blight, and all the other 

 \a' ous fruit-tree diseases known. The 

 ''• ^ included apple, pear, quince, 

 1" li, apricot, crab, nectarine, small 

 ^' and ornamental shrubs. The in- 

 ;'! ' tor stated that there was enough 

 j"' ction destroyed in this lot to have 

 'fi' cted the whole of British Columbia. 

 ' >t only is the imported nursery 

 '^''•k inspected, but all the nurseries 

 t'l 'iighout the province. No company 

 or ndividual is permitted to distribute 

 ^J^ '^ until they have passed inspection 

 ■^y ' ompetent inspectors. The same rule 

 's 'ollowed regarding the sale of fruit, 

 ?nd there is not, it is said, a package of 

 int. cted fruit sold in British Columbia 

 toiay. AH is caretully inspected, and 

 ^' t^ound to be diseased is condemned 

 ^"'1 cremated or sent back to- the coun- 

 "^' from which it was shipped. This
