THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN

city; Ihere were some in the country, an Eighty Billion 
Dollar Industry to be catered to. 
Advertising was truth telling. Advertising is present¬ 
ing to Hie customer the true information regarding your 
business. A city beautiful was planned for Chicago, 
but a state beautiful campaign was the opportunity af¬ 
forded the nurserymen, with highways decorated like 
the city parks. Fruit trees, shade trees, shrubbery and 
flowers were what the farmer needed and the nursery¬ 
man was doing him a real service in selling them to him. 
Mr. White, in closing his address, said: “A good many 
of you have taken an inventory that has been the result 
of last year’s labor—were you entirely satisfied with 
conditions as they existed? He has achieved success 
who has lived well, loved often, gained the respect of in¬ 
telligent men and women and the love of little children, 
when his task is accomplished he has left the world bet¬ 
ter than lie found it, who has never lacked appreciation 
of t lie earth’s beauty, who has always looked for the 
good in others and done a good deed when he could, 
whose life was an inspiration, memory a benediction” 
In the afternoon session, Mr. John Watson made one of 
liis masterly addresses on the subject of “Sales Plus,” 
which was pronounced by Secretary Young as being the 
best paper ever read before a nursery association. 
Friday’s session was opened with an address by the 
president, followed by Mr. L. F. Dintleman, who took 
“The Peony” as his subject and created much discussion 
as to methods of storing and marketing the blooms. 
The subject of replacement or guaranteeing nursery 
stock to grow caused an animated discussion, and result¬ 
ed in the following resolution which was unanimously 
adopted: 
“To appoint a committee of seven, to formulate plans, 
recommendations and contracts for the association, rela¬ 
tive to the replacement of stock.”
