GREENHOUSE CLASS AND PRES- 

 ENT TARIFF RELATION. 



The printed report of the proceed- 

 ings of the twenty-second annual con- 

 vention of the Society of American 

 Florists, held at Dayton, Ohio, last Au- 

 gust, is now out and for the benefit of 

 those who were not present at the 

 meeting, they will find on pages 78 to 

 S!5, the action which was taken upon 

 the discussion of President Kasting's 

 address, relative to the cost of glass 

 for greenhouse work. 



It will be noticed in that report that 

 It was suggested that the first step for 

 practical results would be to find from 

 the Committee on Ways and Means, 

 what was likely to come up. 



The Hon. Butler Ames, one of the 

 Massachusetts Congressmen, stands as 

 a leader and member in favor of tariff 

 revision, and in reply to a letter ad- 

 dressed to hirh, as to what action 

 would be likely to be taken upon revis- 

 ion by those who favored such course, 

 he makes his reply as follows: 



Honso of Representatives U. S., 

 WMsldiigton, D. C, Dec. 8, 1906. 

 Benjamin Hiunniond, 



Fi.shkillon-Hiidson, N. Y. 

 Deal- Sir: — f'onp;iessraan Amos wished me 

 to acknowledge receipt ot joiir letter of 

 the 6th instant with its enclosure In refer- 

 ence to the iiroposcd revishm of the tariff, 

 and to say in reply that this matter has 

 rot yet reached a point where the majority 

 of this Congress have Indicated that they 

 are favorable to a revision. 



Yonrs respectfnllv. 



J. A. DEGAUK. 



Private Secretary. 



It will thus be seen from the letter 

 received from the Chairman of the 

 Committee of Ways and Means of the 

 House of Representatives, already pub- 

 lished, and this letter above, that 

 there is no expectation of any real 

 work being done at the present session 

 ot Congress. What may develop dur- 

 ing the winter, which will lead up to 

 an extra session next year, remains yet 

 to be seen, but there is no doubt but 

 what if the florists as a body will stand 

 together, that their collective influence 

 would have much weight.

Prof. Waldron and President Worst

 legislature for an appropriation for 

 two new greenhouses. Thev think 

 $5,000 will cover the bill.
