THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
475 
CALIFORNIA NURSERYMEN’S CONVENTION 
The California Association of Nurserymen held a very 
successful meeting in the city of Fresno, October i6 to i8, 
1913, some 150 delegates being in attendance. An interesting 
and varied program was carried out, dealing with various 
phases of the nurser>" industry. The movement inaugurated 
by the joint Convention of the American and Pacific Associa¬ 
tions held in Portland last June formed a hearty endorsement 
in the following resolution, which was unanimously adopted: 
“Your Committee on Resolutions is of the opinion that 
nothing that has occurred of late years is of more vital 
importance to the betterment of horticultural conditions 
throughout the nation than the movement that has taken 
strong root for the enactment of uniform horticultural laws 
throughout the States of this Nation. In view of that fact, 
it deems it appropriate and expedient that this Association 
place itself on record as being heartily in favor of the move¬ 
ment. At the joint convention of the American Association 
of Nurserymen, and the Pacific Coast Association of Nursery¬ 
men this matter took tangible form and a fund was at once 
subscribed which now aggregates about $3000; of this sum 
the California delegation at Portland as individuals has sub¬ 
scribed something like $300; since this sum represents almost 
in its entirety people who are members of this Association, 
your Committee feels that this body is not obligated to con¬ 
tribute to any appreciable extent beyond this amount, never¬ 
theless this Committee feels that this movement should 
receive official recognition by this body; therefore, 
'"Be it resolved, that the Secretary and Treasurer be 
authorized and sent to the Joint Committee of which Mr. 
Peter Youngers of Geneva, Nebraska, is Treasurer, the sum 
of $25.00 with the assurance of the California Association of 
Nurserymen that it not only supports the movement heartily, 
but stands ready to give it all its material and moral support 
that the exigencies of the situation may demand.” 
The convention adjourned on Saturday, October 18, with 
the election of the following officers: President, D. W. 
Coolidge, Pasadena; vice-presidents, John Vallance, Oak¬ 
land; T. E. Mabee, Fresno; Walter Birch, San Diego; E. 
Wightman, Chico; Arthur Cann, San Jose; secretary- 
treasurer, Henry W. Kruckeberg, Los Angeles; executive 
committee. Max J. Crow, Gilroy; Wm. T. Kirlonan, Jr., 
Fresno; R. M. Teague, San Dimas. 
San Diego was chosen as the next meeting place in 1914, 
on which occasion the Association will be the guests of the 
Panama-Califomia Exposition for at least a part of the time. 
A CORRECTION 
We noticed an article in the November issue of the 
National Nurseryman stating a new nursery was being 
established at Muscatine, Iowa, on land purchased by C. H. 
Chandler of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. We wish to correct this as 
Mr. Chandler purchased this 234 acres at North Liberty, 
Iowa, for the purpose of enlarging the Highland Nursery Co., 
of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, of which he is president. 
Yours truly. 
Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Highland Nursery Co.

A ROOM WITH A BATH FOR A DOLLAR AND A HALF 
The United States probably surpasses any other country in the 
number of its beautiful hotels splendidly run and equipped. Especially 
is this true in New York City, and we have no doubt but that it leads 
all other cities of the world. 
Notable among its hundreds of such structures is the NAVARRE 
HOTEL, admittedly one of the handsomest in the city, in French 
Renaissance style, of steel construction, with outer walls of stone and 
brick of light gray color, and red tiled roof, situated in the very center 
of everything one wishes to see. 
Of the 350 rooms no two are decorated alike. Many compose 
elaborate suites and the appointments of all include telephones, electric 
lights, and every modern convenience. All have windows affording 
outside light and air, including the bathrooms. 
With all this comfort, safety and luxury, entailing as it does an 
immense expense, the proprietors have inaugurated a rate never be¬ 
fore attempted in this country. “A Room with a Bath for a Dollar 
and_a Half.” This announcement is so extraordinary that it is attract¬ 
ing widespread notice both in this country and abroad.
