FOREIGN F. T. D. MEMBERSHIP 

 It is of inestimable value to the As- 

 sociation that the foreign field should 

 be given more attention and our mem- 

 bership largely increased. At present 

 we have representatives in England, 

 Scotland, Wales and Cuba. Within 

 the past month we have added Cairo, 

 Egypt and Buenos Ayres, Argentine 

 Republic. Why are we not represent- 

 ed in France, Italy, Switzerland, 

 Japan, Norway and many other coun- 

 tries where Americans are sure to 

 travel within a short time! It is ob- 

 vious that it is necessary for every 

 F. T. D. member who places an order 

 abroad to strongly urge the necessity 

 of foreign representatives, so that we 

 may place orders with confidence and 

 assurance they will be properly ex- 

 ecuted. 



The F. T. D. office is frequently 

 called on to furnish information rela- 

 tive to the placing of orders in other 

 countries. Recently we have had such 

 inquiries for France, Italy, Switzer- 

 land, Germany, Norway and China. 

 We have furnished the reference de- 

 sired in each case, but how much 

 better it would be if we had a member 

 in each country who could be relied 

 on to take care of our needs. 



The Secretary's office has not been 

 negligent in this important mission, as 

 we are constantly on the alert and at 

 every opportunity, take advantage of 

 any lead that will assist us in this 

 work. It is, therefore, obligatory 

 upon every member of the Association 

 to furnish this office with any informa- 

 tion that will help us in this great 

 work of building up our foreign mem- 

 bership. Last April the Secretary 

 drew up a circular letter, asking and 

 urging florists in foreign countries to 

 become members of our Association 

 or if they did not desire membership, 

 to become correspondents so that we 

 might place orders with them in the 

 confidence that they would be proper- 

 ly executed. At that time we mailed 

 about 500 letters to all parts of the 

 world, with the exception of Russia,

 as soon as conditions will warrant, we 

 will complete our program of F. T. D. 

 propaganda and we hope to have a 

 better response to our efforts than we 

 have had in the past. The response to 

 our appeal of last April has not been 

 up to expectations; however, we gained 

 two new members and received sev- 

 eral letters, stating that the writer 

 would act as correspondent, which we 

 have already found to be of material 

 assistance to our members. We hope 

 to make a second appeal sometime 

 in the near future and we shall make
