THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
MISSISSIPPI NURSERYMEN ORGANIZE 
On October i8, 1911, a number of the nurserymen of 
Mississippi met at Meridian, Mississippi, and organized The 
Mississippi Nurserymen’s Association. J. R. Woodham, 
Newton, Miss., at whose call the nurserymen had gathered, 
was elected president for the coming year. W. A. Woods, 
Tomnolen, Miss., was elected vice-president and R. W. 
Harned, Agricultural College, Miss., was elected secretary- 
treasurer. Among the reasons for this organization are the 
following; It will enable the nurserymen to become per¬ 
sonally acquainted with each other and promote business 
relations between each other. By organization they can 
better protect themselves against unscrupulous dealers, 
agents and others. They can do more in trying to get proper 
laws passed by the legislature. They can probably get a 
reduction from the excessive freight rates for nursery stock if 
they present their claims as a body before the railroad com¬ 
mission. The various nursery problems will be discussed at 
the annual meetings and all will be benefitted by the ex¬ 
perience of others. 
It was decided to hold the next annual meeting at Gulf¬ 
port, Miss., at the same time as the National Nut Growers’ 
Association meets there in the fall of 1912. Many of our 
members will desire to attend the Nut Growers meeting and 
will be able to attend both. We will also be able to take 
advantage of the lower railroad rates that will be offered at 
that time to the other organization. It is to be hoped that 
every nurseryman in the state will take advantage of the 
opportunity of joining this association and that all will 
endeavor to make it a success. The secretary will be glad to 
hear from any who are interested in the matter. 
R. W. Harned, Sec.-Treas. 
Nursery managers wanted: Two attractive positions are 
offered in this issue. We know from personal knowledge 
that these offerings are good ones. 
The business office of The National Nurseryman is in receipt of a 
box of Apples, which bear the name “Delicious.” They are truly grate¬ 
ful to Stark Bros. Nurseries and Orchards Co., of Louisiana, Mo., for 
these. These Delicious Apples are by all means rightly nam.ed as the 
taste and appearances implies. 
“We find The National Nurseryman one of our very best adver¬ 
tising mediums and expect to use considerable space this coming season 
as we have just bought $4,250.00 worth of fine nursery soil and will 
enlarge our operations very materially. Shall not forget the grand old 
Nurseryman.” 
Pekin, Ind. Grata’s Nursery. 
James McHutchison of McHutchison & Co., 17 Murray St., New 
York City, called on his customers in Rochester in the middle part of 
November, at which time he was on his annual trip at this time of year 
to visit the florists and seedsmen as far west at St. Paul, Minnesota, and 
Indianapolis, Ind. He reports a $40,000.00 increase so far this year over 
any other season.

Nurseries, Angers, France; Schaum & Van Tol, Boskoop, Holland;
