Text Appearing Before Image: 418 The Weekly Florists^ Review* July 5, 1906. week's Review, the expression was for meeting in New York City next year. Tlie decision rests with the executive committee. The by-laws were amended to admit individuals as well as concerns to mem- fcership, and the membership fee was raised to $25. New members elected were: W. P. Stokes, Philadelphia; W, H. Morehouse & Co., Toledo; W. H. May & Son, Alexandria, Va.; Alex. Forbes, of Henderson & Co., New York; Rudy & Gartner, Paola, Kan.; J. A. Dunlap, Nashua, N. H.; J. J. BuflPing- ton & Co., Baltimore; Cockley Milling Co., Lexington, O. Following the paper of James Bur- dette and the report of Secretary Ken- del, delegate to the National Council of Horticulture, an appropriation of $200 was made to further the press work of the council. J. Chas. McCullough, for the com- mittee on seed adulteration, reported that in the committee's view the simplest and most practicable way of preventing the adulteration of clover seed is to place a prohibitive duty on trefoil. No action was taken. W. S. Powell, of Boston, spoke for the credit and collections department of the Wholesale Seedmen 's League. F. W. Bolgiano, for the committee on customs, related a conference with the authorities at Washington as to the proposed penalties for undervaluation, with no results of consequence, but was able to state what forms of evidence would be considered as establishing the correctness of invoices. The committee also said a word for the parcels post, supplementing the report of Charles N. Page, who went in detail into the sub- ject of postal laws and needed reforms. It was asserted that the opposition of the express companies and the country merchants makes the parcels post diffi- cult of attainment. The committee on government free seeds reported on the effort made this spring to end this abuse, but it was a subject of little interest, as all are familiar with the failure. George S. Green, for the transporta- tion committee, reported on the rate legislation, but said that of greater con- sequence to the seed trade is the pro- posed uniform bill of lading. He called attention to a recent im- portant decision of the supreme court of Alabama that makes a bank re- sponsible for the grade of seed when the bank collects a draft attached to a bill of lading. The cental system was urged by the committee on weights and measures, pre- sented by Charles Burge. The com- mittee showed the advantages of this compared with the system of bushel measure. In the absence of the chairman, W. D. Ross, the report of the committee on experiment stations was read by J. T. Buckbee. He proposed that the laws preventing seed adulteration be made more comprehensive. The committee on president's address consisted of S. F. Willard, W. Atlee Burpee, H. W, Wood and C. Cropp. Their report paid high compliment to the document and urged upon the asso- ciation the desirability of several of the president's recommendations, espec- ially that which relates to the compila- tion, with a view to ultimate publica- tion, of a descriptive list of all the dif- ferent varieties of vegetables at present in the trade. The desirability of such HENRY MEHE Quedlinburg, Germany Grower and Exporter of Choice Beet, Vegetable ann Flower Seed Own cultures nearly 3,000 acres.

Mcey was last year's delegate, was retained. H. W. Wood, for the committee on legislation, reported on the year's legis- lation as affecting the seed trade. The program of essays was interest- ing. The paper of Henry Nungesser was read by Albert McCullough. It was authoritative on the subject of "De- sirable Imported Natural Grasses." Floyd Brallier's paper on "The Seed Catalogue from the Customer's Stand- point," was read by P. H. Gage. Evi- dently the customer's standpoint and that of the scientific seedsman as repre- sented by Prof. Tracy are not far apart. W. S. Woodruff read Mr. Burdette's paper on the press work of the Council of Horticulture. J. H. McFarland spoke for Niagara Falls and civic improve- ment. Burnett Landreth gave an inter- esting history of the seed trade, and Finley Acker's paper related to retail conditions in general merchandising. Just before final adjournment, the retiring president, W. H. Grenell, was presented a handsome cut glass punch bowl, a dozen glasses and a silver server, in recognition of his efficient services as executive during the last year. The presentation was made by W. Atlee Bur- pee, of Philadelphia, with brief con- gratulatory remarks. Mr. Grenell re- sponded feelingly, expressing his ap- preciation of the testimonial of the re- gard in which he is held. The hospitalities were more open- handed than ever. There was amusement for the ladies every day, trolley rides, luncheons, etc. Wednesday evening the entire party was entertained at the theater, the vaudeville artists having been well coached on bits of trade gossip and personal peculiarities. One after- noon was spent at a ball game. But the chief effort of the committee was the banquet at the Zenobia Club on Wednesday evening, when covers were laid for 250. The tables were decorated with clover blossoms and stalks of wheat and timothy. The boutonnieres were clover blossoms. William H. Morehouse, of the Toledo Produce Exchange, acted as toast-master. With a few well received remarks he introduced the first speaker, Mayor Brand Whitlock. The mayor took for his theme, "High Ideals." George B. McVey, of Birmingham, complimented Toledo on its numerous industries. He also boomed his own town, which is one of the leading pro- ducers of iron of the United States. He advised the seedsmen to become The Royal Tottenham Nurseries Ltde^MS'' Managing Director, A. M. C. VAN DER CLS1.
