Mr. l']dilor: — 
JnsI a lew notes ri'garding the thirty-ninih annual 
galhei'ing at (di'vc'land, .lime 24-26lh. The nurseryman 
who fails lo attend will not only do himself an injustice 
Imt ill show a great lack of aiipreciation (d‘ the benefits 
h(' (h'l'ivi's from I be ^\ ork of I be Assoeialion. I will 
leave it for yon to talk '‘Dutch” to all such. 
The attendance is going to be large, but all can be 
aeeonnnodab'd at the Uollenden Hotel, the beadiiuarters 
ot the Convention. Comfortable (luarters for the meet¬ 
ing on tin' hotel ])remises, and the eommittees are deter¬ 
mined nothing shall lie wanting to make this a notable oc¬ 
casion. 
lb'iba])S the question of railroad transportation de¬ 
mands more attention just now. 01 late years it has 
bei'ii made more and more dillieult to meet the conditions 
laid down to entitle to special rates. Desides so many 
of onr members do not care to be tied down to returning 
home by same route as going, or to be eomjielh'd to re¬ 
tinal within three days of adjournment of convention. 
Therefore we strongly urge members to see llu'ir own lo¬ 
cal agent now as lo route, tourist, excursion and other 
rates. Demand the fullest information. Almost any 
jiei’sonal wish can be met, the routing and rates are so 
varil'd. For instance. Will B. Munson, who has been 
untiring in the interest of members in bis territory, writes 
that tickets will be on sale from all points in Texas to 
Pittsburg, Pa., and return at fare of $46.65 from Denison. 
These tickets can be routed via Big Four from St. Louis 
to Cleveland, the bolder having option of return trij) from 
Cleveland or of taking what might be termed a free trip 
from Cleveland to Pittsburg and return. Also that any 
one from Ihe southwestern territory desiring to go to Buf¬ 
falo or New York can obtain a reasonable ronnd tri]) tick¬ 
et allowing stoj) over at Cdeveland. Then Eastern passi'n- 
gi'rs will be glad to know that the Cleveland Buffalo 
Transit Co. olTers altraetive rates between Buffalo and 
Cleveland and return.
