The Weekly Florists^ Review, 



March 3, 1904. 



different secretaries of the clubs holdiug 

 such shows. Some fifty letters wer;- 

 vritton and the responses secured mim- 

 bcred three, one by your president, one 

 by W. N. Eudd and one by your siceri- 

 tary, so that this seems to be a matter 

 of "love's labor lost" and we are left 

 to rely on the trade pajiers for our in- 

 formation. 



The matter of advertising in tlie ])rein- 

 ium list, which is a very .necessary source 

 of income to the society, is not quite up 

 to the mark this season, in spite of tli.' 

 fact that strenuous efforts were made to 

 increase this feature. In addition to the 

 regular notice to the members over lOn 

 personal letters were written to adver- 

 tisers of our and kindred products. 



There should be some method adopted 

 whereby the society would have a larger 

 and more permanent income than that 



committee on McKinley memoiial fund 

 and the committee was continued. 



\V. X. Rudd was then introduced and 

 read his pajicr on "Exhibition Manage- 

 ment," which appears in full in this is- 

 sue. It was very favorably received. J. 

 F. Sullivan was called upon to open the 

 discussion which followed. Still leg- 

 weary and no doubt temper-tried by the 

 labors of the day, he endorsed Mr. 

 Eudd 's remarks in full, adding a few 

 words as to the trials of an exhibition 

 manager. He called particular attention 

 to the exhibitor who brings a great 

 amount of stock and insufficient help to 

 stage it properly in the time allowed. 

 Other speakers were C. W. Ward. E. H. 

 f'ushman, Lewis Ulrich and William 

 Scott. 



The judges' report was then present- 

 ed. The following awards were made: 



Carnation Lady Bountiful.— Dorner. 



derived from its limited membership and 

 advertising. Our membership is con- 

 stantly changing, and while we are add- 

 ing a few each year over what we lose, 

 ■we are hardly gaining enough to meet 

 the increased demands upon our income. 



The carnation is forging ahead very 

 fast and we need to give work and seri- 

 ous thought to our society so that it 

 keeps up the same rate of increase. Re- 

 spectfully submitted. 



Albert M. Herr, Sec'y. 



Fred Domer, Jr., treasurer, reported 

 receipts for the year as $95.5.41 and dis- 

 bursements $766.26. The permanent fund 

 now contains $l,910.i.'l. 



The Constitution. 



The matter of the constitution adopted 

 provisionally one year ago was brought up 

 by President Rackham and after a brief 

 discussion the document, as previously 

 published, was adopted, on motion of 

 E. G. Hill, seconded by William Scott.
