The Wild Flower Preservation Society 



of America. 



THE OFFICIAL BALLOT. 



The most important duty of the month for members of the Society is 

 to vote, — not in the municipal and State elections, for you have already 

 done that or ought to have done it if able, — but to vote for members of 

 our Board of Managers. Remember that our Board is charged with the 

 administration of the Society, the planning of its activities, and the man- 

 agement of its revenues ; and it is within the power of the members to 

 make their own choice of persons to serve in this capacity. 



There are four vacancies to be filled by expiration of the terms of the 



following : 



Mr. C. D. Beadle, Biltmore, N. C. 

 Mr. Joseph Crawford, Philadelphia, Pa. 

 Dr. C. F. M11.LSPAUGH, Chicago, 111. 

 Mr. a. M. Read, Washington, D. C. 



The following is the official list of nominees : 



Mr. C. D. Beadle, Biltmore, N. C. 

 Mr. Joseph Crawford, Philadelphia, Pa. 

 Dr. C. F. Millspaugh, Chicago, 111. 

 Mr. a. M. Read, Washington, D. C. 

 Prof. Stanley Coulter, Lafayette, Ind. 

 Mr. Stewardson Brown, Philadelphia, Pa. 

 Mrs. Annie Morrill Smith, Brooklyn, N. Y. 

 Mr. David White, Washington, D. C. 

 Prof. L. M. Underwood, New York, N. Y. 



Select ANY FOUR names from the above list and send your vote to 

 the Secretary, Mr. Charles Louis Pollard, 1854 Fifth Street, Washington, 

 D. C. Do not forget to add your own name and address. All members 

 not in arrears for dues are entitled to vote. The Secretary is ready to 

 receive ballots at any time. Notice of the date of the annual meeting 

 will be given in the next issue of The Plant World. 



NEW LOCAL CHAPTERS. 



Within the last few weeks local Chapters have been formed in Phila- 

 delphia and in Colorado Springs. The full reports from these will be 

 published when the permanent ofl&cers have been elected. Within the 

 last few daj^s the Secretary has received a letter from the representative 

 of a number of ladies in Wilmington, Del., who are also desirous of 

 uniting for active work. We trust this is an indication of the growth of 

 interest in the Society and that it betokens active effort on the part of our 

 members to increase the membership list and the working funds.
