CONVENTION NOTES. 
The Maryland grower who bought 1,000,000 apple seedlings in Jan¬ 
uary was busy receiving congratulations. 
Nurserymen’s Mutual Protective Association officers : President, N. 
H. Albaugh ; secretary, George C. Seager. 
Lack of space prevents the use, in this issue of the National Nur¬ 
seryman, of several of the papers presented at the convention. 
Prof. W. G. Johnson, New York, has been offered the presidency of 
an agricultural College in the West. He is associate editor of the 
American Agriculturist. 
Next to the pleasure of attending the convention, and renewing and 
forming acquaintances, is that of reading the proceedings by the stay- 
at-homes and seeing what they missed. 
A resolution regretting the absence of Edgar Sanders, of Chicago, 
one of the oldest members of the Association, and its first president, 
was directed to be sent to him by the secretary. 
The warmth of the Detroit convention sessions contrasted with the 
low temperature during June 10th-12th, shows that the weather has 
little to do with the matter, after all. So, here’s to Atlanta ! 
So earnest and active was the administration of President Ilgenfritz 
that he was asked to allow his name to be presented for re-election; 
but he declined, saying that he believed the honor should be passed 
around. 
“ Hang on to your watch ; it may be taken,” shouted M. B. Fox, of 
Rochester, just as the photographer opened the shutter in front of the 
group facing the park, which caused Herman Berkhan, of New York, 
to smile broadly. 
Invitations to hold the convention next year in St. Louis were re 
ceived. through F. W. Taylor, from Hon. Rolla Wells, mayor; Hon. 
D. R. Francis, president of the Exposition, and Hon. C. P. Wallbridge, 
president of the St. Louis Business Men’s League. 
Pleasure trips were made by many of the nurserymen Wednesday 
and Thursday afternoons, June 10th and 11th, to Mr. Berry’s grounds 
and to Belle Isle. Both trips afforded opportunity to enjoy landscape 
at its best. The cool weather tempered the enjoyment somewhat. 
R. C. Berckmans received the following despatch at Detroit, June 
11th, from J. K. Orr, Atlanta, Ga., president of the Greater Georgia 
Association : “ Congratulation on securing the convention for Atlanta. 
Assure the members of our gratification. They will be cordially re¬ 
ceived.” 
American Mutual Protective Association officers : President, Wil¬ 
liam Pitkin ; vice-president, A. L. Brooke ; secretary, Thomas B. 
Meehan; treasurer, Peter Youngers; executive committee, William 
Pitkin, ex-officio; Charles J. Brown, D. S. Lake, Mr. Taylor of Topeka, 
John 8. Kerr, Herbert A. Chase, J. H. Dayton. 
“ I wish the Society of American Florists could witness the manner 
in which the American Association of Nurserymen discuss practical 
topics pertaining to the trade,” remarked a member of the Florists’s 
national society at Detroit. “ The sessions were replete with business 
ideas ably discussed, and in my opinion such discussions count for 
much more than social functions.” 
CALIFORNIA’S NEW LAW. 
The California legislature has passed a bill which has be¬ 
come a law, providing for the appointment by the governor of 
a state commissioner of horticulture, who may establish quar¬ 
antine regulations regarding the entry of nursery stock and 
fruit into the state, this law repealing the law of 1901 . Pro¬ 
vision is made for recognition of authority regarding inspec¬ 
tion that may be established by a federal law. 
SAMPLE CALIFORNIA REPORT. 
William Barry, horticultural commissioner for Alameda 
county, Cal., in his recent report to the supervisors says : 
Since my last report the movement of nvrsery stock has commenced 
in this district and the output has been more satisfactory than was at 
the beginning anticipated. The nursery stock arriving has been in 
much better condition and the quantity much greater than in former 
years. The number of stocks handled at this station to date, both fiuit 
and ornamental, is 384,547 and the number of certificates issued 458. 
The first ripe peach in Fort Valley, Ga., this year was picked on May 
11 th.
