STANDING COMMITTEES. 
President-elect Theodore J. Smith, Geneva, N. Y., announc¬ 
ed the following standing committees for the ensuing year : 
Transportation—A. L. Brooke, N. Topeka, Kan.; William Pitkin 
Rochester, N. Y.; N. W. Hale, Knoxville, Tenn.; Peter Youngers, 
Geneva, Neb. 
Tariff—Irving Rouse, Rochester, N. Y.; Thomas B. Meehan, Ger¬ 
mantown, Pa.; J. J. Harrison, Painesville, O. 
Legislation—C. L. Watrous, Des Moines. Ia.; Silas Wilson, Atlantic, 
Ia.;N. H. Albaugh, Phoneton, O.; R. C. Berckmans, Augusta, Ga.; 
Charles J. Brown, Rochester, N. Y. 
Mr. Watrous—“The following question has been handed to 
me : ‘ In the sale of nursery goods must the purchaser be 
served personally with the seller’s guaranty to make him a 
party to the contract ?’ The question is not clear. An order 
for nursery stock is as much a contract as is a promissory note. 
If one party performs his obligations, the other is bound to 
reciprocate. If a contract is signed it is good without putting 
a duplicate into the hands of the purchaser. If a man signs a 
note it is good, no matter who holds it, and no copy is left 
with the signer.’’ 
Mr. Wilson—“ I feel that I voice the sentiment of the 
Association in moving a vote of thanks to the president for 
the efficient manner in which he has presided over this con¬ 
vention.” 
The motion was adopted promptly and unanimously by a 
rising vote. 
Mr. Brooke—“We have seen the need of a gavel for the 
president. I move that the secretary be requested to furnish 
one for the next convention, the gavel to pass from president 
to president.” Motion adopted. 
Upon motion of Mr. Watrous the convention was adjourned. 
THOSE WHO WERE PRESENT. 
As no register of members present was taken, the hotel 
registers afforded the only lists readily available. The man¬ 
agement of the Chicago Beach hotel announced that all 
the rooms had been taken, on the opening day of the conven¬ 
tion, and therefore some of the nurserymen sought accommo¬ 
dations at the Hyde Park hotel and the Hotel Holland, near 
by. The registers of the three hotels showed the following
