NEW SUSTAINING MEMBER 



George P. Dike, ol Chestnut Hill. Mass.. recently became a 

 sustaining member of the association. 



NATIONAL ASSOCIATION AT FLOWER SHOW, NEW 



YORK 



As announced in the February issue of The G.\rdener's Chron- 

 icle, the association will have a booth at the International Flower 

 Show which is to be staged from March 13 to 19 at the Grand 

 Central Palace. All who desire inforination regarding the as- 

 sociation and its activities or any subject pertaining to the gar- 

 dening profession will find those in charge of the booth ready to 

 answer questions. Circulars will be distributed briefly outlining 

 the aims and purposes of the association and offering the services 

 of the Service Bureau to any one desirous of employing experi- 

 enced and reliable gardeners. 



The Secretary's office will be glad to forward these circulars 

 to members who desire to use them in an endeavor to interest 

 their employers or neighboring gardeners in the association. 



THE ASSOCIATION'S MEDALS 



Several requests to include the association's medals among the 

 awards for local horticulture shows have been received lately. 

 The Secretary wishes to call attention to these medals, should 

 members desire to include them among the awards for the various 

 local societies. 



The silver medal may be awarded for a meritorious exhibit at 

 a horticultural show, local or national. The gold medal may be 

 awarded for an utuisual creation or novelty, or an especially 

 meritorious exhibit. The only stipulation is that the medals must 

 be won by members of the National Association of Gardeners. 



APPLYING FOR A POSITION 



The responses which came to the Secretary's office in answer to 

 an advertisement placed by a member of the association in a 

 New \ork newspaper and a farm magazine for a young man as 

 vegetable assistant, and an assistant for a poultry department, were 

 an education in themselves. Of tlie sixty or more applications 

 which were received by mail, not more than ten gave the par- 

 ticulars of the applicant's experience as asked for in the adver- 

 tisement; instead the applicants asked for further particulars of 

 the position and tlien merely stated that they regarded themselves 

 as fully qualified to fill the opening. There was a wide variation 

 as to nationality, age, period of training, and experience which 

 was naturally to be expected, yet it was hardly anticipated that 

 the advertisement would attract the attention of a man, who was 

 b3' profession a musician, and whose wife was a concert harpist 

 ihey both had, as the applicant stated, grown vegetables for their 

 own use at one time, and thought it would be an ideal arran'^e- 

 ment It they could grow vegetables for the party in question dur- 

 ing the day, and play at concerts during the evening This is 

 only one example of the many amusing answers received
