THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
PLAN TO PLANT ANOTHER TREE 
The “Plan to Plant Another Tree” movement lias been 
endorsed by the Western Nurserymen’s Association in 
convention at Kansas City, January 24 and 25, which 
voted to support it substantially in a financial way. 
The Executive Committee of the Rhode Island Nur¬ 
serymen’s Association also endorses “Plan to Plant An¬ 
other Tree.” 
The co-operation of the press is helping the movement 
along. The following is an editorial appearing in the 
Springfield, Ill., Register on January 15, 1923: 
THE “PLANT A TREE’’ MOVEMENT 
The decision of the Illinois Nurserymen’s Association at its 
recent meeting in Chicago to spend $10,000 in pushing a “plant 
a tree” movement is one that ought to prove profitable to both 
the nurserymen and the public. 
It may look like advertising propaganda to some persons, but 
even so, a campaign of education will result in great good. 
Nobody is better qualified to carry on such a campaign of edu¬ 
cation than men who know the right kind of trees to plant, and 
this is the kind of information the people need. 
A committee is to be appointed “to encourage the planting of 
fruit and ornamentl trees, shrubs, flowers and seeds,” and 
thus “make each community a better place in which to live.” 
The State Register has consistently urged, in connection with 
the work of the planning commission for the improvement of 
Springfield, the appointment of a city forester to have charge 
of the direction of the work of conserving the trees of the city 
and the guidance of people in the selection of the proper trees 
to be planted in the future as well as the proper placing of such 
trees so as to serve the ends of utility and beauty. Progress is 
being made in this direction. In addition to the purely ornamen¬ 
tal shrubs there are those which add to their ornamental quali¬ 
ties the very important one of supplying fruits and nuts, the 
planting of which in the right locations should be encouraged. 
It isn’t simply a matter of planting a tree, but of planting the 
right tree in the right place. 
A GOOD SUGGESTION 
The American Association of Nurserymen should in¬ 
vite representatives from state horticultural societies to 
meet with the association in joint session to consider the 
whole problem of “Trees True to Name.” I think the 
association might well devote a session to this big prob¬ 
lem as a method of promoting confidence between the 
nurserymen and their clients and I feel sure that the 
fruit growers would meet the nurserymen half way on 
this proposition. S. W. Fletcher, 
Professor of Horticulture.
