CITEUS MEN MEET. 



A called meeting of the Gulf Coast 

 Nurserymen's Association was held in 

 the rooms of the Citrus Club at Hous- 

 ton, Tex., December 9. The meeting 

 was attended by the majority of the 

 leading nurserymen of the coast coun- 

 try. Reports were made from every 

 section of the orange and fig growing 

 belt regarding the extent of the damage 

 done by the freeze of November 30. 

 After receiving many verbal reports 

 and letters from the members of the 

 association, the following official state- 

 ment to the public was issued: 



Reports from throughout the coast country in- 

 dicate that all citrus groves three years of age 

 and over, as well as flg orchards, were practically 

 uninjured by the recent cold spell. Damage to 

 younger orchards and to nursery stock has not 

 yet been fully ascertained. 



W. A. Stoclswell, President. 



I. M. Johnson, Secretary. 



The consensus of opinion, as stated 

 by the president and secretary of the 

 association, that the older orange and 

 fig trees went through the freeze with- 

 out injury, is certainly encouraging, and 

 shows the wonderful cold-resisting 

 power of the Satsuma orange and the 

 Magnolia fig. That the nursery stock 

 is injured is no wonder, as the tem- 

 perature fell to 20 degrees at a season 

 before this stock had fully ripened its 

 wood. 



THE WESTEBN ASSOCIATION. 



The Western Association of Nursery- 

 jnen held its twenty-second meeting at 

 Kansas City December 13 and 14, with 

 an attendance of about fifty members. 

 There was the usual program of talks 

 on trade subjects, one of the great 

 points of value in the association being 

 the thoroughness with which it keeps its

 the membership is drawn. The national 

 aspect also comes in for consideration 

 and the federal quarantine bill got the 

 same treatment that is accorded to it

 protest was framed against placing the 

 very life of the nursery trade in the 

 hands of any single department official 

 at Washington.

The cut flower market started this 

 week with an active demand in almost 

 all lines. The entire preceding week, on 

 the other hand, was listless. The offer- 

 ings were only ordinary in size and the 

 demand as a whole was even less. 

 Cloudy weather during that time has 

 also given the growers a rough road
