THE STORY OF THE FLIGHT OF THE 
“NURSERYMEN’S 
PORTLAND 
It was but a mere handful of delegates who gathered at 
the New York Central Depot at Rochester to make the trip 
across the continent to attend the Convention of the Ameri¬ 
can Association of Nurserymen at Portland, Oregon, but 
SPECIAL” TO THE 
CONVENTION 
As the train pulled out of the station a roll call was made 
and was answered by the following: 
President Thomas B. Meehan, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Albert F. Meehan, Philadelphia, Pa. 
TWO-YEAR APPLE, WASHINGTON NURSERY CO., TOPPENISH, WASH., JUNE ii, 1913 
what was lacking in quantity was more than made up in 
enthusiasm. 
Marsden B. Fox, who has been in charge of the airange- 
ments for the “Special” and who has been indefatigable in his 
efforts to secure a full car of delegates, was unfortunately 
prevented from making the trip on account of important 
business matters, or perhaps it was due to the fact that he 
had promised to the delegates three more lower berths and 
one more entire section than the car contained. 
“Billy” Pitkin, “Eddie” Osborne, “Hod” Hacker, and 
“Foxey” and Orlando Harrison, w^ere on hand to bid the 
party a safe journey.
