William R. Nicholson. 



In placing William R. Nicholson on 

 the executive board of the national 

 society. President Welch has adopted 

 a wise and far-seeing policy. It is a 

 recognition of the younger element in 

 the trade which will be received with 

 approval on all sides and the gentle- 

 man thus honored is a worthy repre- 

 sentative of this class, without whose 

 loyal support no organization can long 

 remain prosperous. Wm. R. Nicholson 

 was brought up in the florist business, 

 his father. William Nicholson, whom 

 he succeeds in the establishment at 



Framingham, Mass., being a well 

 known and successful grower and an 

 ex-president and hard worker in the 

 American Carnation Society. The 

 yoimg man has been closely identified 

 with the convention sports department 

 and was an efficient worker in the 

 games and entertainment at the Bos- 

 ton convention last August. 



Robert C. Kerr. 



Robert C. Kerr is a native of Texas, 

 his father having established the first 

 nursery in that state immediately after 

 the close of the civil war. Upon the 

 graduation of the young man by the 

 A. & M. College of Texas a florist de- 

 partment was added to the business 

 and he was placed in charge. Eight 

 years ago he bought out the florist 

 department, which has now grown to 

 be one of the largest in the South. 

 Mr. Kerr is a hustler in whatever he 

 undertakes. It was he who organized 

 the Houston Florists' Club, San An- 

 tonio Florist Club, Austin Florist Club, 

 Dallas Florist Club, and then central- 

 ized these by organizing the Texas 

 State Florists' Association. He man- 

 aged the very successful first annual 

 flower show, held at Houston last No- 

 vember. He is now president- of the 

 Houston Florists' Club and the State 

 Association. This recognition of one 

 of the most active and influential men 

 in the Southeni section of the country 

 should bring out much latent activity 

 among the Southern horticultural peo- 

 ple and greatly enhance the prestige 

 of the national society in that section.
