THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
On the day preceding our arrival an accident occurred on 
one of the French war vessels causing the death of a petty 
officer and several seamen. The funeral, participated in 
with full military honors by English and French, took place 
during the hours of our stay ashore and was very impressive 
as are all European military pagents. 
To the plantsman there is little of interest at Gibraltar. 
The hillsides present the features of a semi-tropical climate. 
The gardens are sub-tropical in character and, where 
water is abundant, very attractive. In the markets, one 
finds oranges, varying from medium to poor, grown in Spain; 
grapes from Malaga at 40 cents a pound, figs and dates at 
much lower prices. Flowers—mostly of the bulbous types 
—are pushed before you everywhere. The prices at first 
are high but as the passengers return to the lighters extra¬ 
ordinary bargains are offered and accepted, for Algiers is 
two days distant and table decorations are needed. Al¬ 
together, though our visit in Gibraltar is only a few hours 
we leave without many regrets, impressed with vague feel¬ 
ings of isolation and inhospitality.

NURSERYMEN AND FRUIT GROWER ACTIVE. 
Orlando Harrison of Berlin, Md., recently won the best 
managed, cleanest political fight that has taken place in 
Worcester county, Maryland. The election was to decide 
whether the county should be “wet” or “dry”; there were 
2905 “dry” and 845 “wet” votes cast. As chairman'of the 
dry forces Mr. Harrison was responsible through his sys¬ 
tematic, well ordered methods, for the victory. 
As further vindication of the temperance people, Mr. Har¬ 
rison was reelected Mayor of Berlin for the fifth consecutive 
term. The fact that there was no opposing candidate 
attests to the greatness of the victory. 
Mr. Harrison is the active member of the firm of J. G. 
Harrison and Sons at Berlin. He is also president of the 
Synepuxent Salt Water Inlet Company and president of the 
Peninsula Produce Exchange.

The Fruit-Grower, the leading fruit paper of America, 
is to be well represented at the Milwaukee convention. 
Three members of the firm will be on hand to meet the 
nurserymen and to see that all visitors get better ac r 
quainted with Brother Jonathan. The representatives, 
whose likenesses are shown herewith are W. G. Campbell,- 
J. M. IRVINE 
Chairman of Publicity Committee 
general manager; James M. Irvine, editor, and Charles 
Work, manager of the catalogue department. Messrs. 
Campbell and Irvine have attended all meetings of the 
Association for a number of years, but this will be the 
first session for Mr. Work, and his presence this year is 
justified by the increased business The Fruit-Grower has 
done with members of the Association in printing cata¬ 
logues, price l'sts, and the like. 
W. G. CAMPBELL 
General Manager 
The Fruit-Grower will have liberal space in the exhibit 
rooms at Milwaukee, for the display of specimens from 
its printing department, and the representatives will be 
glad to discuss the printing of any kind of catalogue, as 
well as to talk about contracts for space in The Fruit- 
Grower for the coming season.
