The principal lines of stock propagated and pushed by the 
company are apple stocks, apple trees and forest tree 
seedlings, to which are added a general line of nursery 
stock. This firm now cultivates about 1000 acres in 
nurseries and orchards. 
Mr. Stannard has by no means confined his time and 
energies to the growing of plants. He is an orchardist 
in two states, having extensive plantings in both Kansas 
and Colorado. In 1908 he was elected to the Kansas 
Senate, where he is at present chairman of the important 
committee on Ways and Means. He has been active in 
local affairs in his home city and is called upon as a public 
spirited citizen to further projects of general interest. It 
goes -without saying that the business of the Association will 
be carefully and conscientiously promoted during the term 
of Mr. Stannard’s office holding.

PRESIDENT F. H. STANNARD 
The president of the American Association of Nursery¬ 
men was born in Erie County, Illinois. As a small boy he 
reversed the general order of travel and moved east to 
Warren County, Pennsylvania. His school days were 
spent in Jamestown, New York. It was in 1879 that he 
returned to the west and took up his residence in Ottawa, 
Kansas, where he formed a partnership with Mr. Brewer 
under the name of Brewer & Stannard. He has been 
continuously in business in that location up to the present 
time. The present firm name was taken when the business 
was reorganized in 1900.
