men's Association that will be of gen- 

 eral interest. 



In discussing the labor problem, A. 

 I. Smith, of Knoxville, Tenn., said in 

 part that it always pays to recognize 

 helpers of long experience, especially 

 foremen of the different departments, 

 by giving them an interest in the busi- 

 ness. A partner will always take more 

 pride in his work. The more of the men 

 employed about a place that have an 

 interest in the business the better work 

 there is likely to be done. It also pays 

 to recognize these department heads 

 in the catalogue, for it makes them 

 feel that the public holds them per- 

 sonally responsible for the work they 

 do. He also spoke of the short-sight- 

 edness of the policy that introduces 

 novelties that are of no better quality 

 than the old standard varieties — that 

 are only novel in the high prices asked 

 for them. This policy never pays in 

 the long run. 



Henry Chase, of Chase Bros., Hunts- 

 ville, Ala., said that to avoid getting 

 varieties mixed they use every precau- 

 tion to prevent scions and buds being 

 mixed anywhere. They keep a bud and 

 scion book that shows the source of 

 every bud and scion on the place, tells 

 how and where it is packed and all 

 other details that might be an aid in 

 preventing mistakes. They use labels 

 freely as they graft and plant, to keep 

 things from becoming mixed till per- 

 manent labels can be set. Another 

 book is kept in which the fields are 

 plotted so carefully that if the labels 

 )n the field should become disarranged 

 in cultivating they easily can be put 

 ^ack in their proper places. In dig- 

 ging they us^ labels freely and never 

 fP /°to the field without tarpaulins 

 tnat have been well soaked in water, 

 ^ne roots are covered by these as soon 

 as dug and are kept covered until they 

 dre taken to the packing sheds. They
