THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
261 
In Oklahoma a new Nursery and Orchard Law wenl 
into effect May, 1915. Section 17 reads: Nurserymen, 
dealers or other persons residing or doing business out¬ 
side of the State, desiring to solicit orders for nursery 
stock in the state, upon filing a certified copy of their 
original state certificate with the Board of this state, and 
upon furnishing a bond of one thousand dollars with 
security to be approved by the Board, shall obtain a cer¬ 
tificate permitting such persons to solicit orders for nur¬ 
sery stock in this state.” 
Regulation 11—Application accompanied by a certi¬ 
fied check of five ($5.00) dollars and bond for $1,000, 
issued by an approved surety company, must be made 
to the President of the State Board of Agriculture in addi¬ 
tion to other requirements. 
Certificate and Issuance of the same for nurserymen, 
dealers or other persons residing outside of Oklahoma 
who desire to do business in the state. 
Regulation 12—Outside nurserymen desiring to dis¬ 
pose of nursery stock in Oklahoma must file a copy of 
valid certificate of nursery inspection with the Oklahoma 
State Board of Agriculture, with the additional require¬ 
ments as set forth in Section 17. Outside nurserymen, 
complying with section 17, can obtain a permit from the 
Board giving them permission to dispose of nursery 
stock in Oklahoma under their own certificate. 
\V. B. Van Eyk. representing the Wholesale Nurseries 
of G. W. Van Gelderen at Boskoop (Holland) has left us 
again on the S. S. Nieuw-Amsterdam, the 15th of June, 
just as much satisfied with his business as usual, he 
says, the nurserymen seemed to have had a good business 
this spring, notwithstanding the unusual weather and 
the world-over war impression, and hoping that both the 
United States and Holland will keep out of this terrible 
conflict, he hopes to see his friends again next spring. 
Corporation papers were filed in the State of New 
York by the C. II. Weeks Nursery Company, Manhattan, 
capital $15,000.

New Constitution and By-laws. 
CLEVELAND FLOWER SHOW 
An invitation was extended to the convention of the 
American Association of Nurserymen at the convention 
in Detroit by Mr. E. B. George, of the Storrs- Harrison 
Company, of Painesville, to attend the big Cleveland 
Flower Show to be held in November, 1915. This letter 
of invitation was not read because of the rush of bus¬ 
iness and Secretary Hall intends to include it in the pro¬ 
ceedings published in September. 
Mr. George is a member of the Cleveland Florists’ Cluh 
who are associated with the Ohio Horticultural Society 
and the Cleveland Garden Club in conducting this big 
horticultural event which they announce w ill he the larg¬ 
est to be held in the United States this fall. 
Judging by the activity of the Publicity Committee in 
charge of this Show^, it ought to be a great success. I 
understand that they have sent out 20,000 small an¬ 
nouncement cards throughout the east and central west, 
urging growers to participate by exhibiting and also to 
come to Cleveland to see the Show. 
There is no doubt but that many of the members of tin* 
A. A. N. will be ready to take a trip at that time and that 
they w ill be found at this big Cleveland Flower Show.
