THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
mended, members should mention the Association. 
Entertainment 
Mr. T. J. Ferguson has had charge of all arrangements 
and what of entertainment there will be. There has 
been a sentiment against spending so much time for this 
latter feaure to tin* detriment of business. Doubtless, 
however, provision will be made for a visit to the parks, 
seven in number, aggregating 156 acres, and located on 
the lake shore, the Milwaukee river, and portions of the 
suburbs. There are many places of interest in Milwau¬ 
kee, too many for enumeration here. 
One enjoyable feature is promised. The Convention 
Bureau connected with the Merchants’ and Manufac-

President, 
American Association of Nurserymen. 
hirers’ Association has arranged to give members and 
their guests an automobile ride covering all the good 
roads w ithin Milwaukee county. 
Railroad Rates 
Since the passenger associations now require a guar¬ 
antee in number of certificates much larger than w e can 
furnish, members are advised to confer with their local 
ticket agent immediately after June first for informa¬ 
tion regarding round trip and excursion tickets. 
Where there are members living along or near to a 
main railroad, it is suggested that some enthusiastic 
member make an endeavor to organize a “special car” 
party. There’s lots of fun in it, and oftentimes business 
profit for all concerned. 
Exhibits 
The space assigned for this popular feature of the con¬ 
vention is more than ample. Intending exhibitors, em¬ 
bracing nurserymen, lithographers, manufacturers of 
tools, implements or anything else used by the trade, 
should lose no time in communicating with Mr. Albert F. 
Meehan, Dresher, Pa., Chairman of Exhibit Committee. 
In harmony with the constitutional provision a charge 
of five cents per square foot for exhibit space will be 
made, with a minimum of fifty cents for each exhibitor. 
This is done to enable the committee to meet expenses 
connected w ith their work wihout drawing upon Asso¬ 
ciation funds.
