books: — Book No. 1 to include all

 ing with the letter "K." Book No. 3 

 to include all names beginning with 

 the letter "L" and ending with the let- 

 ter "R." Book No. 4 to include all 

 names beginning with the letter "S"

 will be necessary that one teller for 

 each book be appointed to check names, 

 also one to receive the ballots. 



This calls for an amendment of our 

 by-laws which I hope will be passed 



and made effective at the opening ses- 

 sion of our next annual convention. 



Finish. 



The trade and commerce in seeds, 

 plants and flowers are of such national 

 magnitude and importance that they 

 are justly classed among the great 

 business interests in this country. 

 There is no more charming art and 

 occupation than the cultivation of 

 flowers, plants and fruit-bearing trees. 

 There is no calling more conducive to 

 human welfare than that of the horti- 

 culturist. 



Today let us applaud the work of 

 our chosen officers for what they have 

 done in the past but let us make this 

 applause count by seeing that the good 

 work continues. Let us see to it, that 

 the society is built up, its influence In- 

 creased by the combined efforts and 

 with the co-operation and assistance 

 of all kindred organizations, so that 

 the next generation can look with 

 pride on the work accomplished and 

 take for their motto the inspiring 

 words of Edward Everett Hale "Look 

 up and not down, look out and not in, 

 look forward and not back and lend a 

 hand."
