THE NATIONAL NURSERYJ^IAN 
NEW PRESIDENT. 
The Anicrieaii Association of Nurserymen is to be con- 
^ratulaled on the s(‘lection and election of Henry R. 
rdiase for President. There is no meinl)er better fitted 
Henry B. Chase 
President of the American Association 
of Nurserymen 
to serve in (his eai)aeity. Mr. Chase is a man of keen 
foresight, excellent judgment and full of enei'gy, betlei' 
still he is largt'r than the dollar. Under his guidance, 
the Association is sure to strive for the best ideals. 
A prince of good f('llo\\ s. lu' is one of the best liked men 
in the Assoeiation and is sure to have active support in 
furthering its best interests. The only thing that can be 
said against him. is that he has the reputation of being 
the founder of the “Seeiad Order of the Yellow Dog.” 
Mr. Chase comes fi'om an old nursery family originally 
from New England but is now the President of the Chase 
Nursery Co., Chase, xVlabama, who wdtli his brother, Rob¬ 
ert Chase, manages this w'^ell known firm. 
The nurseries comprising about 600 acres are splen¬ 
didly located and equipi)cd, and turns out very high grade 
stock, both in ornamentals and fruit. 
While they do a small local retail business, they are 
primarily wholesah' nurserymen with an enviable repu¬ 
tation. 
A man public spirited enough to build ten miles of pub¬ 
lic road, using his own juen for the labor and stone from 
his own quarry and stone crusher, as he did betw een 
Chase and llimlsville, Ala., is a good man to have as 
Pi'(‘sidenl of the American Association of Nurserymen.

A GOOD SUGGESTION. 
It has been suggested that instead of going to a hotel 
in Detroit for our next convention, we charter a boat for 
three days and take a trip on the lake. The business of 
the convention could easily be attended to on board. 
There w ould be no absent members. 
We would not be without the “National Nurseryman.”
