THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL CONVENTION OF 
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF 
NURSERYMEN 
The great annual event in the life of the active American at St. Louis on the morning of the 6th. A solid train of 
nurseryman has come and gone. The Denver convention thirteen cars loaded with nurserymen left this point on that 
belongs to the category of recorded events. It is a part of afternoon. They arrived in Denver the following evening 
the history of the American Association of Nurserymen. 
To say that it marked an epoch would give it undue em¬ 
phasis. To say that the meeting was entertaining and 
instructive in the extreme is to give only mild praise. 
Enjoyable it was from the various standpoints of physical 
comfort, intellectual interest and technical instruction. 
The attendance was not up to the Rochester meeting, but 
excellent considering distance, from the more populous 
nursery centers. There were a goodly number of ladies, 
whose memories of Denver are sure to be kindly. 
THE JOURNEY WEST 
The Rochester “bunch” under the chaperonage 01 
Treasurer Yates joined northern and southern contingents 
at six o’clock, being some two hours late owing to the heavy 
loaded engine (no one else loaded). Earlier trains from 
Chicago brought in delegates from the Upper Mississippi 
Valley and adjoining points. The local committee and 
Chairman of Exhibits Committee were already on the 
ground with arrangements perfected or well in hand. 
Much of the success of the meeting is to be credited to the 
forethought of the Program and Local Entertainment 
committees as well as the generous attitude of the Denver 
Convention League. Chairman Weber (entertainment) 
and Hill (program) were “Johnny’s-on-the-spot” and noth¬ 
ing got away from them. The Pacific Coast was repre¬ 
sented by Messrs. Roeding of California, McGill and Pilking- 
ton of Oregon.
