President Kerr to act on the resigna- 

 tion of your former secretar.v, Mr. 

 Bunyard, I was appointed to fill out his 

 unexpired term, and at that meeting 

 it was considered advisable that a re- 

 organization of the membership be 

 made. A plan, approved by the execu- 

 tive committee, was decided on to 

 change the ending of tlie business year 

 from July 1 to Jan. 1, and it was de- 

 cided that all members who seemingly 

 had lost interest be allowed to renew 

 their interest on the payment of the 

 present year's dues to Jan. 1, 1918. 

 Heretofore much of the settlement of 

 business contracted for during the 

 period from Jan. 1 to July 1 lapped 

 over into tlie next year, and no clear 

 Idea could be given at the convention 

 of just how the society's affairs stood. 

 Under the present arrangements, which 

 I hope will be ratified by this conven- 

 tion, a complete report of the society's 

 affairs will be obtained in the Bulletin 

 to be issued early in January. We are 

 looking forward to the time when this 

 Bulletin may become of miicli more im- 

 portance and take the form of an 

 annual similar to the publication of 

 the National Sweet Pea Society of 

 Great Britain. 



Perhaps 1 am a little too enthusias- 

 tic on Sweet Pea matters, but the re- 

 sponse of the members to the executive 

 committee's plan has not been what 

 was expected, and it is doubtful if 

 the society can finance the publication 

 of an annual next year. We can, how- 

 ever, improve on our Bulletin which, 

 although a modest publication, has 



been received with a good word from 

 many. 



Since Jan. 18. 13 new members have 

 been added to the roll and the Newport 

 (R. 1.) Garden Club has become affil- 

 iated with our society. 



We are much indebted to the firms 

 who so generously helped the pul> 

 lication of our Bulletin Schedule by 

 taking advertising space therein, and 

 also to the firms and societies that 

 contributed to the prize list. The pres- 

 ent condition of affairs in the world, 

 caused by the war, is no doubt in great 

 part the reason why our exhibition is 

 not as large as usual, but what may 

 be lacking in quantity is made up in 

 the quality of the exhibits as a whole. 

 It is earnestly hoped that the interest 

 in the society will continue to increase, 

 and although the present times are 

 against much progress being made I 

 firmly believe that, when the world 

 tilrns again to peaceful pursuits, a 

 great future is in store for the Ameri- 

 can Sweet Pea Society.
