THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
OF INTEREST TO NUT GROWERS. 
Thomasville, Ga., was selected for the inter-state meeting of nut 
growers of the eastern Gulf Coast. The meeting was so well attended 
that another is planned for Monticello, Fla., about mid-summer. 
Both of these towns have large nut orchards in their surrounding 
territory. 
Dr. Morris, of New York, at the Jamestown convention of the 
National Nut Growers’ Association, quoted a friend as having said 
that “the man who develops the hickory will be a public bene¬ 
factor.’’ Dr. Morris said that he had agreed with that proposition 
ever since he was a boy. He then thought every man who raised 
good hickory nuts was a public benefactor. Boys in general will 
endorse this sentiment. 
The Texas Nut Growers’ Association recently held their semi" 
annual meeting at Abilene. The State Agricultural Department 
will publish the proceedings as a bulletin. 
During the past six years the nut growing industry has been 
revolutionized. It is now well established in various localities upon 
a scientific and sound commercial basis. When followed in the light 
of recent experience, it opens for the farmer or capitalist a most 
inviting field. 
The proceedings of the Jamestown convention of the National 
Nut Growers’ Association will be ready for distribution about 
April i. 
Owing to the drought, the Texas pecan crop was seriously injured 
during the past season. The nuts, failed to attain their usual size. 
The pecan crop of 1907 was less than a fourth of the usual yield. 
The shortage was general throughout the entire pecan-producing 
belt.

Gentlemen: We herewith hand you our check for two years’ 
subscription to your valuable magazine. We find many helpful 
hints in it for our work. 
The past season has been one of the best we have ever seen. The 
demand for nursery stock never was better, or so great. The Fall 
and Winter have been ideal for handling stock every day nearly, and 
our spring planting has been largely done. We see no reason why 
the season before us will not develop the business of the past year, 
and from indications will even surpass it. 
Wishing you success, and prosperity, 
We are very truly, A. Miller & Sons.
