ROSE HILL NURSERIES New Rochelle, New York our affairs along larger and more intelli- gent lines, we need to concentrate our efforts; we need a more intensive, a more intelligent, a more effective organ- ization, a concentration of efforts of the American nurserymen. I made this statement once before and was criti- cised for it severely, but, believing with all my heart that I am right, I am going to say it again: We have too many organizations. Our energies are divided, and as long as this is true we are not going to accomplish the best anywhere.
