A WORD FROM YOUR SECRETARY. 



On occasions such as the International Fk)\ver Show 

 with all the details which the meetings and program for 

 pleasure involved, it is possible for one to make errors 

 and omissions, and your secretary is not infallible in 

 that respect. 



If you had an_\' transactions with liim during the 

 Flower Show in the way of money payments, membership 

 enrollment, or otlier matters which you may have referred 

 to him for attention and you have not been granted 

 acknowledgment to the same, or other response where 

 it is called for, place yourself in communication with him 

 and advise him accordingly. He had a busy time of it 

 attempting to attend to all the duties involved on him and 

 did the best he could, but he may have made some mis- 

 takes which will be immediately corrected, if advised of 

 them. 



When you have a grievance, do not go about with a 

 "grouch," telling every one of it but the one against whom 

 you may feel aggrieved ; go direct to him, and in most 

 instances you will find that your grievance has been an 

 imaginary one and one that can be promptly adjusted.

THE "DUTCH" TREAT. 



On Tuesday night, .April 8, the members and friends of 

 the N. A. G. visiting the Flower Show, assembled in the 

 men's hall at the Murray Hill Hotel, for what was an- 

 nounced a "Dutch"' treat, but more correctly termed a 

 "smoker." A pleasant evening was enjoyed by all. En- 

 tertainment was provided by the hotel orchestra, and 

 John Christie, who appeared in kilts-, much to the amuse- 

 ment of many present, and enlivened the evening with 

 Scotch ballads, also favoring some of the sons of Erin 

 with a few songs. 



.Among the speakers of the evening were President 

 J. K. M. L. Farquhar, of the Society of American Flor- 

 ists ; William Siebrecht, president of the New York Flor- 

 ists' Club ; H. E. Philpott, of Winnipeg. Canada ; Edwin 

 Jenkins, Lenox, Mass. : Charles \\'eathered, of New 

 York. Mr. Charles H. Totty, chairman of the Flower 

 Show, and William H. Duckham. manager, were early 

 visitors at the "smoker," but had to leave to attend a late 

 meeting of the Show Committee. Many were present 

 from distant points. The gathering included about one 

 hundred and twenty-five members and friends.
