NURSERYMEN.
CONFERENCE AT WELLINGTON. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Jan. 28. The conference of the New Zealand Association of Nurserymen opened today. Delegates were welcomed by the Mayor, who referred to the importance of the nurserymen's industry in the Dominion's general advancement. In officially opening the conference, Mr. Massey said there had been undoubted advancement in the nurserymen's industry. During the war it had been impossible for ships calling at ports to place apples, but now arrangements had been made to export 80,000 cases to England, and he hoped to send apples to South America. The sea carriage of apples required the greatest care, much more than frozen meat and dairy produce, He looked forward to the time when the Dominion would be as successful in exporting fruit as dairy produce. Regarding forestry, great interest was being taken by the Government. With more foresight there might have been a reservation of timber to meet all requirements to-day. Everything possible was being done to make provision for the future.
Mr. Nosworthy expressed the hope that the knowledge Mr. J. A. Campbell, Assistant-Director of Horticulture, had gained in America, would greatly benefit the Dominion.
