PRESIDENT AMMANN'S NEW 

 YEAR'S GREETINGS 

 As president of the Society of 

 American Florists and Ornamental 

 Horticulturists, I extend hearty greet- 

 ings to all members of our beloved 

 society, and to all members of the 

 craft everywhere. 



First, let us give thanks to Al- 

 mighty God, who has seen fit in His 

 infinite wisdom to end the cruel con- 

 flict that has been raging in bleeding 

 Europe for over four years, and for 

 the part our glorious nation has been 

 privileged to have in bringing it to

 has been cheerfully lent to the gov- 

 ernment, and given to other war ac- 

 tivities, while our gallant young men 

 have marched out at the country's 

 call, cheerfully sacrificing their all for 

 the great cause of humanity and

 us now to concentrate our forces, and 

 just how can we best do this? 



First of all I want to address my- 

 self to the young men of our society. 

 Be sure and co-operate. Strive to 

 continue the wise policies so well es- 

 tablished by the old leaders. Increase 

 the standard of culture and quality. 

 And let us add to that the commercial 

 progress in keeping with the present 

 day and age. 



Just now publicity is the watch- 

 word. The corner stone for this won- 

 derful addition was laid just 16 short 

 months ago in the city of New York. 

 Soon after our great nation entered
