THE GARDENERS' CHRONICLE OF AMERICA. 



OF INTEREST TO ALL 



NEW YORK FLORISTS" CLUB. 



The January meeting of New York Florists' Club 

 was Installation Night. President Bunyard after be- 

 ing welcomed to the chair by the retiring president, 

 Wm. H. Duckham, delivered his inauguration address. 

 He said in part : 



"As president of your club, it is my desire to try and upliold 

 its traditions and carry on the work, ideas and high standard of 

 achievement, as laid down by the men who organized and con- 

 tinned it. Jlost of tliese men are still living and doubtlessly feel 

 that their work has not been in vain. They should have our 

 sincere tlianks. I want my administration to be creative, con- 

 structive and progressive and to carry out especially one idea that 

 is not new. but of great moment to the members. That is. for 

 the Xew York llorists' Club to have and own a permanent home, 

 where we can meet for social and business intercourse, liold our 

 meetings and entertain our out-of-town members and friends: 

 a home built for posterity. It is possible! 



"For progressive legislation, affiliation is but the beginning. It 

 will broaden and grow as time flies. It is an epoch in tliis club 

 at which you will be able to point with pride in the near future. 



"' 'In union there is strengtli.' and while the S. A. F. & O. H. 

 has given us this opportunity, cannot we look around in our 

 vicinity and see if we. too, cannot offer the right hand of fellow- 

 ship! I note in the ]n-nspcctus of tlie Internationl Garden Club, 

 that the president of the Xew York Florists' Club is an ex- 

 officio member. This club has leased from the city of Xew Y'ork 

 the Bartow JIansion situate in Pelham Park, near City Island; 

 have appropriated money to build roads and have already plans 

 in hand for a rose garden and otiier specialized work. Are you 

 aware wliat all this means to you'' It means |)rimarily tliat the 

 masses are to be educated along the broader sense of gardening. 

 It means tliat we are to have a new generation of Hower and plant 

 lovers and in time you will become tlie indirect beneficiaries 

 through increased Inisiness: besides tliis. there are horticultural 

 societies and school garden associations at our door that shouhl 

 at least have our moral support. I would recommend a committee 

 to report upon the number and membership of these societies and 

 their objects, for possible affiliation in some form or other. 



"The International Flower Show next March afl'ords unrivaled 

 opportunities for the trade to exhibit and advertise their wares. 

 There should be no waning of interest in this important event. 

 Witli the clouds of pessimism of 1014 passing away with the 

 advent of Xew Year, we must gird our armor on and by will and 

 deed make it a success or we shall be held strictly to account. 

 .Many other industries are only too glad to seize an opportunity 

 to take part in such an enterprise. So I say, wake up! So let us 

 inject new life, new hope, new stamina into a cause so worthy 

 and with interests so much identified with our own. let us all pull 

 together for our own common good. 



"Our membership is now 4(U and inchides ].")6 S. A. F. & O. H. 

 members in good standing. Xew membership is always iu order 

 and we desire all the members we can secure, but our main ett'ort 

 nnist Ije to get what members we now have attend the meetings. 

 We nuist have a sustained interest; we must keep it alive. In 

 plain English, we must have our members satisfied and harmony 

 prevail. 1 have enlarged some of the committees. Our increased 

 member.ship and organization demands it; we must broaden out. 

 We nuist be creative, constructive and progressi\e. Our motto is, 

 'All one,' with a Rose for an emblem. The Rose is partly ex- 

 panded; so. like the flower, let us too expand, but never fade and 

 make our membership for 1915 five hundred or more."
