STATL AND lUNHONAL HEPRESI:NTATI\ ES AND 
THE A. A. N. 
Those V lio have received the report of the A. A. N. 
will note the change in the by-laws enabling all stale and 
regional associations, alliliated with the A. A. N.. to he- 
eonie members of the said association. This action by 
the A. A. N. should have a far reaching effect in bring¬ 
ing the trade of the whole country in closer touch. The 
elfects should he very far reaching in standardizing 
trade practices. 
D is ex])ected the state and regional nursery associa¬ 
tions will appoint, previous to the national meeting, a 
member from their association and an alternate, who 
will attend the national convention. These appointees 
will constitute the nominatory committee whose duty it 
shall he to present nominations for offices at the annual 
meeting and recommend the next place of meeting for 
the association. 
As President Kelsey suggests this is a good beginning 
hut it is to he hoped that another year the A. x\. N. will 
delegate further duties to them so that they will be more 
active throughout the year in representing the national 
association and nursery interests in general.
