CONVENTION NOTES 
Many nurserymen were bewailing the fact that they 
had left such dirty nurseries at home, and when they 
spoke of home, weeds were uppermost in their minds. 
“We got it!” was the smiling remark of Thomas B. 
Meehan! after Philadelphia was decided upon as the next 
meeting place. 
Whatever may have been the sentiments on the liquor 
question of those who visited Schlitz’ Brewery Estab¬ 
lishment. they could hardly fail to be benefited by the ob¬ 
ject lesson in standardization and efficiency in producing 
their goods. 
The “Dutch Lunch” so lavishly set out by the Schlitz 
Brewing Company for the visiting nurserymen was thor¬ 
oughly enjoyed. 
Things were so busy and serious at the convention that 
the Yellow Dogs all went a-hiding and the Baby Ram¬ 
blers began to grow and blossom out. 
John Watson tried to enlist for the Mexican War. 
“Not heavy enough, otherwise physically fit” was the 
verdict. By the enthusiasm displayed at his election to 
the Presidency of the National Association, he is a born 
leader and Uncle Sam missed the “makings” of a good 
officer. 
Much favorable comment was heard about the program 
prepared by Lloyd C. Stark. It was so thorough it 
brought all phases of the nursery business before the 
convention for discussion. 
Prof. E. R. Lake, when speaking of horticultural 
names, said that the Pure Food Law demands correct 
labelling of apples, and there is a tentative law under 
consideration to eliminate catalogues from the mails that 
do not comply with that requirement. 
THE NEXT CONVENTION TO BE HELD IN 
PHILADELPHIA 
It was given out that Curtis Nye Smith. Esq., Counsel 
for The National Association and Allied Seed Trades, has 
under way the preparation of a digest of nursery laws of 
the various states. 
The next convention of the National Association of 
Nurserymen to be held in Philadelphia. 
There was no opposition at all to Philadelphia. The 
selection seemed to satisfy everyone as not a single dis¬ 
senting voice was heard.
