RECOMMENDATION TO CO-OPERATIVE COMMITTEE. 



Tlic local ooii[porative coiiiiiiittee of tlii' Nas-^aii Cniiiity IJoiti- 

 ciiltiiial Society, Ulen Cove, N. Y., suiiibits the fuUiuviiig recoiii- 

 nieixlation to tln' National ( o (i])enitive Committee. The phiii 

 « ill he siilinutteil t'l all loial liortieiiltui'al societies at an earlv 

 date for action. J. \V. EVERITT, 



(liainnan National Co-operative Committee. 



Your committee on co-operation having hecn instructed to jire- 

 .sent a draft of a jilaii <m co-o]]i'ration or alliliation of gardeniuL: 

 societies, with a view to creating; a stronger fcclirm of u(>och 

 fi'llowship amongst members of sUch societies, lieg to sulmiil the 

 following for consideration: 



A iiiemher of a horiicadlural society, such as the Nassau 

 ( onnty Horticultural Societv, removing to another locality, and 

 heiug desirous of associating himself with the horticultural society 

 in the locality to which he has gone, should heeonu' eligilile to full 

 nn'uiliersliip therein if he is in good standing, without the payment 

 of lines to the euii of the fiscal year, and vice versa. In other 

 word:^. he would simply he transferred from one society to another 

 without any extra nnmetary charge whatsoever. 



It would nuike it so that a stranger could enter a societ.y in his 

 new location and. presenting a letter, or identitication card, to 

 the .secretary of that society from the secretary of the society 

 from which he was leaving, would lie introdnceil to the nu'udiers 

 and made to feel at home. 



Believing that this plan can lie more widel.v circulated and 

 carried out by the National Association of (lardeners. your com- 

 mittee recommend ihat this society refer tlie matter to tliar 

 body, and if aci'eptable to them, to lune the National Association 

 of Cardeeeis carry out the jdan.
