THE BADGE BOOK 
In answer to the query—“What fS it?” we quote from 
our predecessor, who styled it as “an unique list of the live 
nurserymen of the country.” Not that all the live members 
of the trade are enrolled. Your name should be therein, if 
not there already. Every member is given a number 
immediately his fee is received by the secretary, and his 
name will appear in the Badge Book. If he be alive to his 
privilege he will buy a space in the book for his advertise¬ 
ment, thereby arresting to himself the attention of every 
other member, for his badge contains his registration num¬ 
ber, which he will attach to his coat and thus introduce him¬ 
self to all who meet him at the Convention. You cannot 
afford to be off the list of advertisers. Primarily, for your 
own good, and next because this is a grand co-operative 
concern and deserves the support of all to enable it to suc¬ 
cessfully prosecute its work. 
THE EXHIBITS 
For information under this head application should be 
made without delay to Mr. E. P. Bernardin, Parsons, Ivans., 
Chairman of Committee on Exhibits. Intending exhibitors 
should WRITE HIM NOW. 
ADVERTISING 
Advertising in the Badge Book is a privilege extended to 
members only. The membership fee entitles you to publi¬ 
cation of name and address only. Rates for advertising 
will be found on blank herewith. If you order advertising 
with membership, send copy with order, as you cannot be 
assigned a number until space taken is known. If you 
order advertising and say copy will follow you get a later 
number than otherwise. Make name and copy clear. This 
will help to avoid mistakes. 
NOW ABOUT HOTEL RESERVATIONS 
Take our advice and write at once to the Brown Palace 
Hotel, Denver, Colo., for your reservation. Read the letter 
of the hotel manager again and note the more liberal terms 
for those who are willing to double up. Even the higher- 
priced rooms will be reasonable on that plan. 
RAILROAD ARRANGEMENTS 
Our efforts to secure reduced railroad rates have failed. 
The chairman of the Western Passenger Association writes: 
“On behalf of the individual lines interested would respect¬ 
fully refer you to the Summer Tourist fares that will be in 
effect to Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo this year, 
which will be available for your convention. 
The Summer Tourist fares referred to are on the basis of 
$30 from Chicago, $26.75 from Peoria, $25 from St. Louis, 
$17.50 from Missouri River points and proportionate fares 
will be in effect from intermediate points. Tickets will be 
on sale daily from June 1st with return limit of October 31st,

I9IO. 
A great advantage is gained by above plan—members 
will not be compelled to return immediately in order to get 
reduction under certificate plan. Corresponding reductions 
will be made from Eastern points.

FELIX AND DYKHUIS 
The pleasure of a visit from Mr. J. Dykhuis, representing 
Felix and Dykhuis, Boskoop, Holland was accorded us 
April 26. Mr. Dykhuis is on his annual tour of the whole¬ 
sale nurseries of the Eastern States. Several days were 
spent in Rochester renewing old acquaintances and tending 
to the usual business matters. Anyone interested in 
communicating with Mr. Dykhuis can reach him Care of 
Messrs. Maltus and Ware, 14 Stone Street, New York City. 
Mr. Dykhuis represents a splendid type of the progressive 
Foreign Nurseryman. He sails for Holland about June 1. 
Mr. August Rolker, 31 Barclay St., New York City, is 
one of the Nurserymen who always calls upon us when in 
Rochester. His interesting and agreeable personality adds 
charm to his conversation while his items of information 
make his visit valuable to us. Mr. Rolker was last in this 
city Friday, April 23. He is always a most welcome caller. 
Treasurer Yates is completing arrangements for a special 
car or cars from Rochester and Buffalo to Denver, via St. 
Louis.
