Spring sales all over? 
Stock all lined out ? 
buds all cut hack? 
Hush all over? Yes. Well, w e have a little time lo 
think and talk about a much needed rest and recreation. 
You admit that you are entitled to it. Why not join the 
American Association of NurseryiiK'n and attend the Con¬ 
vention to he held in Cleveland? 
Of course you should become a memher whether you 
exjieet to attend the convention or not. Why, there arc 
so many good reasons, some of which are stated in the 
circular enclosed; some below'. One especial and jiar- 
ticular reason is this: I he Vice Presidents from the var¬ 
ious states have been asked to increase the membership 
from their respective stales. 1 want Texas to he ahead 
of the others—not behind—so you see it is not a sellish 
motive 1 w ant you to join but one ot pride for our great 
State to have as large membership and re])resentation as 
jiossible, a [iride in which every Texas Nurseryman 
should share. Then we have the opiiortunity to meet 
and mingle with the very best citizenshi}) of tlie land— 
the nurserymen of the Fnited States. 
besides the social side and features of the conven¬ 
tion which 1 have always loimd worth many times the 
cost of the trip, there are many business reasons w by you 
should join. In many w ays it benelits you individually, 
by having large and proper representation from our ow n 
State, Texas is benenlleU. \v ith a larger membership 
the National Association can accom})lish more and have 
greater jiower to put behind the already excellent com¬ 
mittees, as that on Legislation, Tariff, Transportation, 
and others which have accomjilished much good for the 
Nursery interests. 
Then to have your name in the badge book of the 
American Association alone is w orth many times the cost 
of niemhership. It puls you in company w ith a tine lot 
of Gentletucn, the best in the country, and your prestige 
is raised thereby. 
Fill out the enclosed blank and send same w ith fee 
to the Secretary John Hall, Uochester, New' York. The 
membershii) will entitle you to name and number in 
badge book, to attend the convention; to receive the re- 
jiort of the Convention, besides all the benefit of the ex¬ 
cellent work of the various committees. 
by all means try and attend, and if jiossible take 
your w ife, daughter or sister, as the ladies are well jiro- 
vided for at these conventions and they enjoy them, too. 
Yours for a large memhershij) and attendance from 
Texas. 
Will H. Munson, Vice President for Texas.. . 
ROADSIDE FORESTRY. 
The AMitevs of AVilliainstoAvn, Mass., this Aveek at 
their annual toAA’ii nieeting made an ajijirojiriation of 
$100 for the starting of a roadside forestry iiolicy. It 
Avas not a large start financially, but if folloAved in 
ilie future may easily mean iiincli to the toAvn. The 
jilan as outlined, and Avhicli Avas set forth by Presi-
