SECEETABY'S REPORT. 



'^n*"- "^P"""* o' J- F- Ammann. secretary of 

 ■•■ Minois State Florists' Association, presented 



• I'o convention at Moline. March 7.] 



Your secretary is pleased to report 



'^ addition of eight annual members 



; 'fl one life member during 1915. The 



■^tter of unpaid dues is of such im- 



rtance that I feel something should 

 done about it. Our constitution 



es not provide for the suspension of 



y member for nonpayment of dues, 

 . ^ ao I recommend any such provision. 



■ iieu of it I would suggest the elimi- 



lon of annual membership dues, and 



^^tead amend the constitution so as 



" "ave two classes of paying members 



r^^ .^°"^.have, except that the mem- 

 tiiv -xi.'"^ ^^^^ ^® associate members 

 hn«i . ° *"^*^er dues to pay. All 



'se paying or having in the past paid 



Ml",: 



J. ¥. Ammana. 

 (Secretary Illinois State Florlsta' Association.) 



the sum of $10 as dues shall be made 

 active life members. This would elimi- 

 nate the bother of collecting annual 

 dues. The interest from a life mem- 

 bership fund and the associate member- 

 ship dues would pay the running ex- 

 penses of the association. I recommend 

 this for your earnest consideration. 



Three members preceded us into the 

 great beyond last year, D. U. Aug- 

 spurger, of Peoria; Albert C. Kott, of 

 Joliet, and John Zech, of Chicago. May 



those bereaved by their passing find 

 solace in the words of our great Com- 

 forter.
