THE LARGEST HORTICULTURAL AUCTION ROOMS IN THE WORLD 



rieties continues and the work of the 

 examining committees is being great- 

 ly appreciated, and a seedling that has 

 the endorsement of the commitees is 

 recognized by the commercial growers 

 as being worthy of a thorough trial. 



The reports of the examining com- 

 mittees were sent to the trade papers 

 each week as they were received and 

 a final summary of the season's work 

 was published. The trade press very 

 generously printed these and other 

 notices sent to them from time to time 

 for which we owe to them our vote of 

 thanks. 



.V ticket of admission to the Na- 

 tional Flower Show held in Philadel- 

 phia. April. 1916, was mailed to all 

 members in good standing on the 

 secretary's books. 



You will notice a change in the 

 class for the C. S. A. silver cup. Our 

 president kindly offers a silver cup 

 for a class similar to the C. S. A. class 

 ol other years, thus making the 

 change necessary. Class B is ar- 

 ranged according to the suggestions 

 of the committee appointed at the last 

 annual meeting. 



Your secretary appreciates the kind- 

 ness of the following firms and indi- 

 viduals for offering the special prizes 

 at this exhibition:

Owing to the intense heat during 

 the past summer the growing season 

 this year was a hard one on the plants 

 and Mr. Totty reports that the grow- 

 ers in the eastern states are having 

 a great deal of trouble with a disease 

 which seriously affects the growth of 

 the plants. It would be a good thing 

 if any member having this or any 

 other trouble with the plants would 

 give us the benefit of his experience 

 so that it may be included in the an- 

 nual report. 



The routine work of the secretary's 

 office, consisting of sending out the 

 statements to the members, recording 

 the varieties disseminated, getting out 

 the report of the fourteenth annual 

 meeting and the solicitation of the 

 special premiums was attended to in 

 due seasoin. 



The secretary wishes to acknowl- 

 edge the kindness of Elmer D. Smith 

 in furnishing him with a complete list 

 of varieties disseminated in 1915
