CHARLES SIZEMORE, LOUISIANA, MO. 
Secretary and Traffic Manager of American 
Association of Nurserymen — 
‘‘The Willing Horse" 
ciation. The receipts added to balance in treasury on 
June 28, 1922, of' $21,378 43, amounted to a grand total of 
$43,748.85. Disbursements totaled $23,395.58, leaving a 
balance of $20,353.27. 
The illustrated lecture by J. R. Shaw, Professor of 
Pomology, Amherst, Mass, on the Possibilities of Nursery 
Fruit Certification was of extreme interest and showed 
marked progress in the application of science to nursery 
practice. 
11 is address will be published in our next issue. 
The Quarantine on Rose stocks came up for discussion 
and was of extreme interest. The consensus of opinion 
indicated the nurserymen of America were now quite 
capable of raising them both in quality and quantity. A 
resolution was adopted in favor of a quarantine against 
imports. 
A. II. Hill. Dundee, Ill., Chairman of Committee to as¬ 
sist Dr. S. R. Detwiler, U. S. D. of A. in the completion 
and publication of an edition of quarantine regulations 
showed charts that had been compiled by Maud A. 
Thompson, Rureau of Plant Industry, Washington, D. C. 
There is a separate chart for each state, showing quar¬ 
antines controlling the destination of the nursery stock 
from that State at a glance. 
The activities of the Vigilance Committee combined 
with the adoption of the Ry-Law against Commercial 
Bril lery, fostered by the incoming president as good proof 
that house cleaning continues and the association is sin¬ 
cere in its efforts to enforce and maintain a high standard 
T)f practice among nurserymen. 
Nursery Publicity 
The discussion on Nursery Publicity was somewhat 
disappointing, due perhaps to its being brought up at a 
session that was not very well attended. 
J. A. Young, originator of tlie Plan to Plant Another 
Tree Movement and Secretary of the Tree Lover’s Asso¬ 
ciation of America, Aurora, III. made an inspiring, ex¬ 
temporaneous address covering the efforts of the move¬ 
ment to encourage planting. 
The movement is national in scope and includes The 
Replanting of Home Orchards, Popularization of Land¬ 
scape Art. Forestation and Reforestation, The beautifica¬ 
tion of School Grounds, Roadsides, The Planting of Me¬ 
morial Trees, etc. 
Mr. Young, by means of a chart, showed the plans for 
reaching the 110 million population and inspiring them 
to plant. 
Many indiviual members of the association are sub¬ 
scribing to this movement and the association itself is 
financially supporting it. It should have the hearty sup¬ 
port of all. 
M arket Development 
F. F. Rockwell, chairman of Nursery Publicity des¬ 
cribed the activities of his committee, showing remark¬ 
able accomplishment at little expense and outlining a 
budget for t lie coming year. 
The budget was referred to the executive committee 
for action. 
J. M. Devine, Adv. Manager for “The Country Gentle¬ 
man” Philadelphia, Pa., told of the ideals and aims of 
The Press to encourage planting, especially to bring back 
the “home” orchard to the farm.
