THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TRANSPORTATION 
About the only thing your Committee on Transportation has to 
report is the matter of changing the release clause on nursery stock. 
The clause formerly read: “Nursery stock prepaid or guaranteed, 
invoice value not exceeding $5.00 per 100 lbs. and so receipted for, 
etc.” 
Notice was received last December, that the Western Classifica¬ 
tion Committee would meet at Mobile, Ala., on January 13th and 
that they had placed on their docket the revision of the valuation on 
nursery stock. My time was so fully occupied that it was impos¬ 
sible for me to attend this meeting and Mr. W. C. Reed of Vincennes, 
Ind., kindly consented to go and Messrs. Stark Bros. Co., of Louisi¬ 
ana, Mo., very generously offered to send their Traffic Manager, 
Mr. Chas. Sizemore, who is a railroad man of wide experience. 
These gentlemen were in attendance at Mobile eleven days 
before this subject was reached by the Classification Committee; 
however, they were not idle during this time. They were inter¬ 
viewing the different members of the Committee and corresponding 
with different nursery firms, getting information and statistics so 
that when the opportunity was offered they presented the matter in 
an able and most satisfactory way and were successful in having the 
release clause striken out altogether, and it was through the strong 
showing made, that nursery stock in a general way does not exceed 
$5.00 per 100 pounds, that this clause was stricken out and your 
Committee would therefore urge that when it is necessary to make a 
claim that it be made on a reasonable and proper basis.

Editor National Nurseryman: 
The writer has had some communications from the 
Pacific Coast Association regarding the location selected for 
our next meeting. A movement is on foot to have the 
Western people meet the Association at Denver, next June, 
if our boys decide to go there instead of St. Louis. 
We are assured of the co-operation of Mr. Tonneson, 
Secretary of the Western Association, at Tacoma, Wash., 
also Mr. Malmo, President, of Seattle, if we decide to hold 
the meeting at Denver. I have had personal interview's 
with some of the Western coast people and they are en¬ 
thusiastic over the idea. I hope we may be able to meet 
our Western brethren and if we go to Denver, I feel sure 
that a large representation will come over the Mountains 
to join us. 
Rochester All Right. 
We shall never forget our recent meeting at Rochester 
and every member of ths Association who was fortunate 
enough to attend, was delighted with the hospitable manner 
in which we were entertained while in your city. The 
Rochester boys know r how to “do things” and we take 
our hats off to them. There are some of us who would like 
to meet there every year, but we don’t want to impose 
upon the generous hosts of Western New York. 
The outlook for business in the West is good and our 
stock is making a satisfactory growth.

[Concluded from page 218.] 
sects will repay many fold the labor contributed to this work. 
San Jose Scale, peach tree borers and various leaf eating caterpillars 
are the most numerous and commonly known tree enemies to 
contend with. 
Coating the trunk of the tree with Carbolineum will prevent 
borers from attacking the bark or entering the wood: Encircling 
the trunk with a band of some heavv cloth well saturated with the 
preparation will prevent all caterpillars and other insects from 
crawling up the tree. Applying Carbolineum to cankerous or 
diseased parts and to freshly cut wounds facilitates their healing 
and effectually prevents the attacks of wood borers at such spots. 
Mixed in proper proportions to form an emulsion, Carbolineum 
forms a most radical and effective remedy against scale and other 
insect pests, and is especially long lasting in its results. Full 
particulars regarding the use of Carbolineum for farms, orchards, 
etc. in Bulletin 26. Address Carbolineum Wood Preserving Co.,
