SOUTHERN NURSERYMEN MEET. 



The Southern Nurserymen's Associa- 

 tion held its twelfth annual convention 

 at Knoxville, Tenn., August 24 to 26, 

 with an attendance of some half hun- 

 dred members. The sessions were held 

 at Morrill hall on the campus of the 

 University of Tennessee, where there 

 were excellent facilities for the meet- 

 ing. It is characteristic of this asso- 

 ciation to have a long program of short 

 talks. By assigning a topic to prac- 

 tically everyone present a general in- 

 terchange of ideas is obtained. 



During the convention a visit of in- 

 spection was paid to the Peter nur- 

 sery, where the photograph was made 

 for reproduction for the accompanying 

 illustration.

 and also on deferred payments, Mr. 

 Mayhew continued: 



Mental Effect on the Nurseryman. 



Finally, brethren, what influence has 

 the policy on our own minds? Do we 

 not know, of a truth, that the cost per 

 tree is as much on replace orders, for 

 which we get one-half price or nothing, 

 as on that class of orders for which we 

 get full price? Do we not realize that 

 requisition for replace trees and plants, 

 in a large majority of instances, comes 

 from a patronage we could wisely re- 

 fuse to deal with? Have you ever fig-
