THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
THE 35th ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE 
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NURSERYMEN 
Will be held June 8, 9 and 10, 1910, at Denver, Colorado 
Headquarters The Brown Palace Hotel 
Secretary John Hall 
The Thirty-fifth Annual Convention of the American 
Association of Nurserymen will be held June 8, 9 and 10, in 
Denver, Colorado. 
In framing this circular letter, we find ourselves prac¬ 
tically impelled to follow our predecessor, because of our 
limited knowledge concerning the miscellaneous items 
which demand attention. A closer acquaintance with the 
work and the workers will, 
if it is so ordained, enable 
us to exercise more freedom 
in future secretarial litera¬ 
ture. 
In making our bow to 
the membership of this 
organization, we bespeak 
your kindly help in our 
efforts for the success of the 
coming Convention and the 
future enlargement of your 
membership. We are satis¬ 
fied that there are many 
nurserymen still to be se¬ 
cured as members, and as 
a result, a corresponding increase in interest and in influ¬ 
ence to be developed. 
We ask that each reader of this document resolves to 
give immediate response. You can if you will. And your 
doing so will greatly facilitate the work of your secretary in 
the registration of members and in the compilation and 
prompt publication of the Badge Book. 
THE CONVENTION CITY FOR 1910 
Who has not heard of Denver! One of the most beauti¬ 
fully situated cities of the West! Its streets are wide and 
shady—thanks to the nurseryman; and its residences and 
public buildings are stately, handsome and attractive 
Denver has been appropriately called “The Queen City of 
the Plains.’’ It commands a magnificent view of mountain 
scenery, including Pike’s, Long’s and other noted peaks, 
perpetually covered with snow. Just the place for the nur¬ 
seryman, worn out with his winter’s campaign and spring de¬ 
livery and the more exasperating chase after his delivery re¬ 
turns. Take a rest; take your wife or mother or daughter and 
get into a climate that is “peculiarly serene and healthful.’’ 
The Entertainment Committee has been “on the job,” 
and Brother F. A. Weber and his associates have already 
arranged a delightful series of events for the ladies and for 
“us,” the most notable of which (subject to action of the 
Program Committee) will be a sight-seeing trip over the 
marvelous Moffat Route to Corona—said to be the finest 
scenic route out of Denver, and one of the greatest pieces of 
civil engineering in the world. The trip will be a compli¬ 
mentary one to members and their ladies. 
HEADQUARTERS OF THE 
CONVENTION 
In order to secure the 
best, not only y our secre¬ 
tary, but Messrs. F. A.Web¬ 
er, chairman of Entertain¬ 
ment Committee, and Mr. 
Peter Youngers, a member 
of the same committee, 
have made persistent effort. 
These latter- gentlemen, 
with Mr. A. M. Ferguson of 
Denver, visited the various 
hotels, finally selecting the 
Brown Palace as the one 
best suited to the requirements of our Convention. The 
“Ordinary,” writes Mr. Weber, “is a very nice room on the 
upper floor, away from noise, and with a seating capacity of 
over 200 persons. We are also offered the free use of a large 
sample room for light exhibits on same floor as the meeting 
room, and additional rooms for committees.” If a larger 
assembly room is needed, there is one on the premises. 
The Brown Palace is an up-to-date, fire-proof building, 
and has the usual restaurants, cafes, and other appointments 
of a first-class hostelry. In submitting the tariff, the 
manager assures us that every endeavor will be made to see 
“that everyone in attendance upon your Convention is 
pleased, not only when they come, but when they settle their 
bills and leave.” That sounds assuring. 
Mr. Morse, the manager, sends the following:
