It is unnecessary here to refer at any 

 length to the i)roceeilings of the con- 

 vention at Buffalo, as this is fully re- 

 i-orded in the annual printed rejjort. Jt 

 \\as in every res|ject a creditalih; and suc- 

 cessful meeting and the sessions were 

 generally well attended, notwithstanding 

 the attractions of the Pan-American Kx- 

 ]iosition. The principal enactments of the 

 society were the acceptance of the na- 

 tional charter, the transfer of the assets 

 to the new corporation and the adoption 

 iif :i new constitution ju'actically as re- 

 ported by the iucorjiorators, with the ex- 

 ception of the clause in reference to co- 

 operative relations with other organiza- 

 tions. This matter is again before us 

 for consideration at this convention. It 

 is to be lioi>ed that every member here 

 will make it his duty to be present and 

 assi.sit in settling wisely this important 

 i|uestion so that not alone individual, sec- 

 tional or corporate benefit may accrue, 

 but that the advancement of American 

 ornamental horticulture in its broadest 

 sense may be hastened. 



Besides a full account of the proceed- 

 ings, the printed report contains valuable

 I'\ H. Chittenden, and Thrips in Green- 

 houses by Prof. W. E. Hinds, reports of

The Executive Board convened at Ashe- 

 ville on March 4. .">, (i. 1902, all the mem- 

 bers except three being present. Matters 

 considered, in addition to the general pro- 

 gram and arrangements for this conven- 

 tion, were the identity of the rose Helen 

 Gould with the old Balduin, the auditing 

 of the treasurer's report, jiroposed legis- 

 lation in Ccnigress reganling the inspec- 

 tion and fumigation of nursery stock, 

 the 'method of awarding the society's 

 medals through other organizations, the 

 ti'sting of American grown bidbs for

seeds, re[)ort of superintendent of sports, 

 the charter and constitution of the so- 

 i-i(>ty, list of members and accounts of 

 summer meetings of auxiliary societies. 

 The number of plant introductions for 

 the year incdiuled 8 cannas, 2.5 carnations, 

 32 chrysantlieinums, 11 roses and 40 mis- 

 cellaneinis. The wide-spread demand for 

 ciipies of the volume is the best indication 

 I if its value as a book of reference.

 th.at there is no florists' organization in
