ecutive Board of the S. A. F. in ac- 

 cordance with the vote on affiliation 

 passed at the Boston convention last 

 August are all so well known to our 

 readers that little needs to be added 

 here to what is already familiar. 

 Harry A. Bunyard. 



Harry A. Bunyard, who becomes a 

 member of the board for one year by 

 virtue of his election to the presidency 

 of the New York Florists' Club, has 

 already served a three-year term on 

 the board and will bring to the work 

 this year not only zeal and efficiency 

 of a high order but the advantage of 

 valuable experience in S. A. F. mat- 

 ters. 



George Burton. 



George Burton, president-elect of the 

 Florists' Club of Philadelphia, is the 

 son of John Burton, an ex-president 

 and charter member of the S. A. F. 

 Mr. Burton thus has the honor of rep- 

 resenting the first florists' club or- 

 ganized, in the councils of the national 

 body. Like his father, he is a very 

 expert and successful rose grower. 

 Wallace R. Plerson. 



Wallace R. Pierson. who assumes 

 membership on the board by reason of 

 his office as president of the American 

 Rose Society, is still another of the 

 younger element in horticulture, being 

 associated with his father, A. N. Pier- 

 son, in the management of the vast 

 plant and flow^er growing establish- 

 ment at Cromwell, Conn. As a shrewd 

 business man Wallace Pierson is 

 widely known and he will be no drone 

 in the big national hive. 



Irwin C. Bertermann. 



Irwin C. Bertermann represents the 

 most recently aroused class in the 

 great floral industry — the retail trade. 

 an element which for years resisted 

 all efforts to get them to support the 

 S. A. F. The recent awakening to the 

 value of the national organization and 

 their mutual obligations is due in no 

 small degree to Mr. Bertermann's zeal- 

 ous work. We look for still greater 

 co-operation on these lines through his 

 membership on the executive board. 

 S. J. Goddard. 



S. J. Goddard, president of the Amer- 

 ican Carnation Society, will prove, a 

 sincere and loyal worker as an S. A, 

 F. director. For many years his skill 

 and industry as a grower of carnations 

 have placed him in the van of success- 

 ful culturists supplying the Boston 

 market and winning honors at the ex- 

 hibitions. He is also popular among a 

 host of friends because of his geniality 

 and companionable traits. Through 

 Mr. Goddard the Carnation Society is 

 well represented for the coming year.

Description. — Origin: A hybrid seed- 

 ling, raised in 1911, parentage, Hatch- 

 eri X deflexus scandens. This variety 

 is as free-blooming as A. Hatcheri and 

 the cut sprays are as durable and long- 

 keeping as D. scandens. It is abso- 

 lutely thornless. Not as heavy in 

 growth as plumosa, but very dainty 

 and graceful. Especially valuable for 

 decorative work when in bloom. 



Name. — "Asparagus hybrida graci- 

 lis." John- Youxg. Secy.
