A BREEZE FROM TEXAS. 
The National Nurseryman. 
“The Convention number of The National Nurseryman duly re¬ 
ceived. Permit me to compliment you upon the excellent account of 
the Convention and to thank you for the bouquets you were kind 
enough to toss toward me. However, I have a kick to make. 
Quoting from your write-up of the Convention ‘Quietly there arose 
a tall, ‘lean’ figure, with black hair, ‘salow’ complexion and acquiline 
features of a native born Texan.’ Positively I object to being re¬ 
ferred to as lean. That which you mistake for leanness, is in reality 
an aristocratic degree of slenderness. I am six feet one and a quarter 
inches tall, and weigh one hundred and twelve pounds, which of itself 
contradicts the assertion that I am ‘lean.’ As a matter of fact I am 
a shining light of the ‘Fat Mans Club.’ ”— Stanley Watson. 
Mr. Watson adds many more pleasanteries which lack of space un¬ 
fortunately cuts out of this column.— Ed.
