mental in obtaining for us publicity 

 for the show ot a very high order and 

 extensive character. Mr. Therkild- 

 son's work in this conection is worthy 

 ot the Society's highest commendation. 

 The work of Louis Burk, as chairman 

 of the committee on concessions, was 

 most thorough, and the arrangements 

 made by this committee were both ad- 

 mirable and profitable. Robert Craig, 

 as chairman of the committee at large, 

 with his committee, cared for many 

 things without the province of other 

 committees, and helped materially the 

 work of the organization. The com- 

 mittee on lectures, of which J. Otto 

 Thilow was chairman, instituted and 

 directed a program of lectures on hor- 

 ticultural subjects, which was an im- 

 portant and popular feature of the 

 show, and, consequently, a source of 

 much gratification to those interested 

 in the success of the show. Samuel 

 S. Pennock gave unstintingly of 

 his time to attend to his duties 

 as chairman of the committee on 

 printing. Much important work 

 devolved upon the committee on leases, 

 contracts and hall, of which Adolph 

 Farenwald was chairman, all of which 

 was carried out with a zeal much ap- 

 preciated by our organization. The 

 committee on trade tickets, whose 

 chairman was E. J. Pancourt, gave 

 service which was long and continu- 

 ous. The work of this committee was 

 most important, and was accomplished 

 in a most skillful manner. Wm. P. 

 Craig, as chairman of the committee 

 on special premiums, was instrumental 

 in the addition of many donations to 

 our list of special prizes. The com- 

 mittee on information was a some- 

 what new feature of our show organi- 

 zation, and we must congratulate Fred 

 Cowperthwaite, chairman of the com- 

 mittee, on his having proved the 

 necessity for a bureau such as was 

 established, and the good results ac- 

 complished. Chas. Henry Fox, chair-

man of the advertising committee, 

 which ultimately merged with the pub- 

 licity committee, with his committee 

 rendered admirable service in matters 

 concerning the advertising of the 

 show. The committee in charge ot 

 decorations, John P. Habermehl, chair- 

 man, through the skill displayed in 

 the decorations installed, met thor- 

 oughly the expectations of the National 

 Flower Show Committee. The com- 

 mittee on special features, of which 

 Chas. H. Grakelow was chairman, did 

 excellent work. It is to be greatly I'e- 

 gretted that some very important 

 features arranged by this committee 

 were, owing to unexpected lack of 

 room, impossible of accomplishment. 

 Franklin Barrett, as chairman of the 

 committee on aquariums, was instru- 

 mental in the staging of an aquarium 

 exhibit which was a highly atti-active 

 feature of the show. The nursery in- 

 terests were looked after by the nur- 

 serymen's committee, of which Wm. 

 Warner Harper was chairman. The 

 work of this committee was, it is to 

 be regretted, limited by space accom- 

 modation. Leo Niessen, chairman of 

 the committee on music, deserves great 

 credit for the musical features pio- 

 vided. Arthur A. Niessen, as secretary 

 of the local executive committee, is also 

 to be congratulated on the successful 

 carrying out of all the detailed work of 

 that office. The National Flower Show 

 Committee are also deeply grateful 

 for the valuable services rendered by 

 Daniel C. Donoghue, one ot the leading 

 attorneys of Philadelphia. Mr. Donog- 

 hue has a wide acquaintance with the 

 florists of Philadelphia and vicinity, 

 and is greatly interested in the work 

 of all florists. Mr. Donoghue did not 

 render any bill tor his services, and 

 our committee would recommend that 

 the Society shows its appreciation ot 

 his work by appointing him attorney 

 for the Society. 



The details as to receipts from all 

 sources, and the financial report of the 

 show have been published, and each 

 member present should be in posses- 

 sion of a copy of same. 



Your committee was fortunate in 

 having the support ot the American 

 Rose Society, American Carnation 

 Society, and American Sweet Pea 

 Society, all of whom directed the sec- 

 tions made up of their representative 

 flowers, and added to the premium list 

 ot our Society with special prizes do- 

 nated by members of their own bodies. 

 The cooperation of these societies was 

 greatly appreciated by your commit- 

 tee. 



Subsequent to the show, the secre- 

 tary met the treasurer and myself in 

 Buffalo and went over all the accounts 

 in regard to the show, in detail, and 

 it was found that everything was cor- 

 rect, the accounts of the secretary and 

 treasurer agreeing exactly. .\ full ac- 

 count as to disbursements, under date 

 and voucher number, will be published 

 in the Annual Report of the Society.
