mon fold, and if the affiliation pro- 

 gram, as planned by our sturdy Faren- 

 ■wald and in part already inaugurated 

 by the Florists' Telegraph Delivery 

 Association, is receiving the deserved 

 support, the year 1914 should mark a 

 great increase in our numerical 

 strength, and united influence. That 

 in union there is strength is a byword 

 of long and true standing, and that 

 the National Society has been of in- 

 estimable value in the development of 

 the florists' trade and the protection 

 of Its interests no one well informed 

 on trade matters will attempt to deny. 

 A large amount of important work 

 is continually before the society and 

 the present year is no exception. 

 While all the many projects and in- 

 terests are in good hands through the 

 different committees, officers and rep- 

 resentatives, let me ask once more of 

 each loyal member of our great As- 

 eociation his active moral support in 

 all of our undertakings. Let us all 

 put our shoulder to the wheel. Let us 

 give some of our time, our thought, 

 our elTorts and our strength to the 

 upbuilding and strengthening of our 

 National Association so that we may 

 enter and capture with merit that hor- 

 ticultural stronghold, our next Con- 

 vention City, "dear old Boston," as 

 she has never been captured since the 

 days of "Bunker Hill." 

 Yours verv trulv,
