PACIFIC COAST ASS N OF NURSERYMEN TO MEET 
AT ROISE, JULY 17-19. 
The twenty-first annual convention of the Pacific Coast 
Association of Nurserymen will be held at Roise, Ida., 
July 17-19, with headquarters at the Owyhee Hotel. 
Plans for practical co-operation between agricultural 
supervicors, extension service people and nurserymen 
will be discussed, the purpose being to increase the 
planting of forest, ornamental trees and plants as fast 
as the public can make proper preparations for substan¬ 
tial results. Nurserymen and landscape architects in 
Idaho are taking special interest to make the day devoted 
to aesthetic horticulture, on the programme, interesting 
and helpful to the people locally and indirectly for tin 1 
benefit of the Pacific Coast section. 
Surveys covering the entire Pacific Coast states indi¬ 
cate that the demand for good ornamental material will 
be greater than the supply next season and the same 
condition prevails with most classes of fruit stock. In 
evergreens and shrubs, thrifty, well formed plants are 
wanted and nurserymen who provide for these require¬ 
ments readily obtain a fair market value for this stock. 
During the past year 39 nursery firms have been accept¬ 
ed as members of the association. 
Members are requested by the executive committee to 
state what, in their opinion, are important problems and 
questions that should be considered at the meeting. It is
