THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
not certain at the present moment that such an exhibit will 
be possible, but the growers are interested and will co-operate 
in every way possible. 
The exhibits will probably be shown in a room in the 
Brown Palace, which will accommodate all the lighter 
exhibits. The space for the heavy exhibits will be secured 
as convenient and commodious as possible. The space at 
present secured amounts to 1000 sq. ft., and will probably 
accommodate very satisfactorily the usual line of exhibits. 
Mr. Bernardin will issue a circular letter to manufacturers 
and those interested in making exhibits of stock and sup¬ 
plies. He is confident that an exhibit quite up to the usual 
standard will be forthcoming which will be highly educa¬ 
tional and instructive. 
Louis, and they have also promised that if we could make up 
5 cars at St. Louis, they would give us a special train to fol¬ 
low their limited, which leaves St. Louis at 2 115 p. m., daily, 
arriving at Denver the following afternoon at 4:05. Our 
train being about 30 minutes later, would land us there 
about 413 5 to 4140 p. m., in ample time to get located for the 
night. 
The Burlington Route has also promised us that they 
would place a car at Chicago, in which nurserymen could 
make reservations, and could pick up nurserymen through 
Northern Illinois, Iowa, and Eastern Nebraska, meeting our 
train at Oxfords Junction on the following morning after we 
leave St. Louis. I think it possible that the Texas, Arkan¬ 
sas, Eastern Kansas, and South Eastern Nebraska nursery-

ENTERTAINMENT COMMITTEE 
Mr. Youngers, Geneva, Nebr., Mr. Ferguson and Mr. 
Fravert of Denver, and myself met in Denver, on Feb. 17, 
and arranged for the following entertainment. First after¬ 
noon, which will be on the 8th, the ladies will be taken upon 
a sightseeing trip through the city of Denver, and surround¬ 
ing points of interest. On the second afternoon, the 9th, 
the ladies will be given either a matinee trip, or will be taken 
to the park or summer garden for an entertainment. On 
the 10th, the entertainment committee has arranged for a 
complimentary trip to all nurserymen, their wives, daugh¬ 
ters, and sons, over the Moffat route, which is said to be the 
finest scenic trip out of Denver. Luncheon and refresh¬ 
ments will be served to all making this trip, and it is hoped 
all the attending members will take advantage of this trip. 
The committee is considering other entertainment fea¬ 
tures, which will be announced later. It may also be possi¬ 
ble, that is if enough members care to remain over for the 
nth, that another side trip will be arranged for. I have 
written Mr. Yates regarding the probable railroad arrange¬ 
ments that can be made. I believe that the Burlington 
Route can give us the best and quickest service out of St. 
men will arrange to make up a car or two at Kansas City, 
and St. Joseph, and connect with our train in the evening. 
If this arrangement can be made we will have the advantage 
of all being together for a daylight run through the western 
part of Nebraska and Eastern Colorado. I should think 
this would be a very nice way to travel, and should be 
entertaining to all.
