Pomologists to Meet at Boston 



IpHE Thirty-fifth biennial meeting of the 

 *■ American Pomological Society will be 

 held in Boston, Mass., October 31 — Novem- 

 ber 4, 191 7, in connection with the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society and the New 

 England Fruit Show. Very full and extended 

 programmes covering all phases of fruit grow- 

 ing will be rendered and an exceptional exhi- 

 bition of fruits, fruit products, and allied ma- 

 terial will be staged. Unique exhibits and 

 demonstrations with some of our newer fruit 

 introductions such as the Avocada, and fruit- 

 juices as the Loganberry-juice will be in 

 evidence. 



On the whole the event promises to be one 

 of unusual interest to American pomology. 

 Boston's well known attitude toward both 

 amateur and professional horticulture and 

 pomology assures a delightful and instructive 

 week to all those attending. The Secretary, 

 E. R. Lake, 2033 Park Road, Washington, 

 D. C, will gladly send full programmes. The 

 President isProf. W. N. Hutt, Raleigh, N. C. 



American Civic Association 



ON OCTOBER 22nd to 24th the 1917 

 Convention will be held in the City of 

 St. Louis, which will be the first time that this 

 Association meets west of the Mississippi, 

 since its formation at the St. Louis World's 

 Fair in 1904. It will give an excellent oppor- 

 tunity for the stimulation of greater interest 

 and activity in civic work, particularly 

 throughout the West and Southwest.

Why Willadean Service 



COUNTS MOST! 



: :"r: p; 1 ? - 



H Most nurserymen are conscientious and sell I 



I good plants. Yet, frequently, the plants or ■ 



■ trees fail to satisfy because they are not suited I 



■ to the planter's soil and climate or do not prop- ■ 



■ erly fill his needs. When we started in business, H 

 U nearly 20 years ago, we decided to give Service m 

 H First, then sell plants. Willadean Service will H 



■ help you avoid failures with plants. Right now I

Fall Planting of Hardy B 



Plants and Evergreens 



M AH plants that start growth very early in the m 



■ spring must be transplanted in the fall or suffer J 

 I a severe shock, often death. Peonies, Phloxes, ■ 

 H Irises and all "old-fashioned" hardy perennials §§ 

 |§ should be transplanted now. Evergreens, such H 



■ as we ship, with a large ball of earth, may be H 

 H safely transferred to your home ground as long as B
