A letter from the New York chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects was read in which it was asked that the A. A. of N. appoint a committee to meet with the committee of their society to act as a clearing house in all matters per- taining to the two societies. On mo- tion of J. H. Dayton such committee was appointed. The report of the arbi- tration committee was next presented by W. C. Reed, chairman. This is the first year that this committee has been in existence and in the few instances that came before it satisfactory settle- ments had been effected. Herbert Chase, Delta, Colo., in his paper on "Proper and Uniform Bunch- ing, Packing and Handling of Nursery Stock," made comparisons of six car- loads of nursery stock received in Colo- rado from different firms. The ship- ments received in two cases were in perfect condition, trees tied 10 to a bunch, two labels to each bunch and a box index indicating everything so that orders could be shipped out at once. In contrast the other shipments were poorly packed, % and 34 tied in same bundle, some bunches unlabeled and had to be thrown away. Another pa- per on the same subject was read by W. T. Hood, Richmond, Va., who spoke of evolution in the packing of nursery stock from the time of Franklin Davis to the present day. The speaker has been in the business for 51 years and his remarks were listened to with in- terest. Other papers followed by Prof. F. L. Washburn, state entomologist of Minnesota, on "White Pine Blister Rust;" Prof. J. G. Sanders, state en- tomologist of Wisconsin, on the "Cot- ton Boll Weevil," a warning against Insect pests and plant diseases. EXECUTI\'E COMMITTEE RESOLtTTIONS.
