LADIES' SOCIETY OF AMERICAN 

 FLORISTS. 



Cedar Acres, 

 Wenham, Mass. 

 ' .January 14, 1920. 

 To the Members of the Ladies' Society 

 of American Florists. 



The gavel, your President's symbol 

 of power, came to me to-day, reposing 

 on a bed of rose leaves, all bound 

 round with rose pink ribbon and tag- 

 ged with a little silk Wild Rose. Your 

 gracious retiring president, a loyal 

 florist's wife, and ever mindful of the 

 fitness of things, paid you her tribute 

 and Said It With Roses. The message 

 is so significant, that I am passing it 

 on to each and every member. 



The Garden Gate of the New Year 

 has been opened for us. upon a rose 

 strewn path and it must be not only 

 our pleasure, but our duty to keep it 

 rosy. 



The president of the Society of 

 American Florists remembered us 

 with courtesy in his message, and it 

 is my great privilege to extend to him, 

 our greetings and our hearty congrat- 



ulations on the very efficient manner 

 , in which he has undertaken his duties. 



I am proud indeed to hold the hon- 

 ored position of your president, and 

 very anxious to prove myself worthy 

 of the trust. My success will but re- 

 flect your co-operation, without which 

 no president can be a success. I be- 

 speak for your officers, your Board ot 

 Directors, and your committees your 

 loyal support and your absolute confi- 

 dence. 



Throughout the year there is little 

 of purely society matters to engage 

 our attention, and for this reason 1 

 would greatly appreciate any Items of 

 interest from or about members. News 

 from the clubs which have been 

 formed In several cities, news from the 

 widely separated localities. 



Individual eftort, if focused on the 

 single idea, to make the Ladies' Socie- 

 ty of American Florists a force In 

 florists' activities, must surely produce 

 results. To this end, let every mem- 

 ber consider herself a self-appointed 

 committee of one to work for the bet- 

 terment of the society. 



I shall be in New York during the 

 Flower Show in March and shall be 



very glad to meet any members who 

 may attend, to give and receive any 

 information helpful to the members 

 and to the society in general. 

 \'erv sincerely yours, 



K.VTHHYN Beach Tkacy, Pres.
