sands of visitors through the gates who 

 had already visited the show. The 

 total gate receipts, representing over 

 100,000 paid admissions, are an indica- 

 tion of how wonderful the displays 

 were. I know that this show will pass 

 into history as the greatest flower show 

 ever held on the American continent. 

 Taking the exhibition from every point 

 of view, I think that we must agree 

 that the exhibits were far ahead of 

 anything that has ever before been at- 

 tempted. 



The Convention Date. 



At this point I wish to touch upon the 

 advisability of holding our conventions 

 on concurrent dates with the national 

 flower shows; that is to say, I believe 

 that every second year, our annual con- 

 ventions could be held in March or in 

 April, or at such a time as we decide to 

 have our national flower show. The old 

 idea that it would be impossible to se- 

 cure a good attendance at our conven- 

 tions at any other date than August 

 has not proved itself to be a fact. I 

 observed with keen interest at the na- 

 tional flower show in Philadelphia that 

 a great many representative men of 

 our profession from all parts of the 

 United States and Canada were pres- 

 ent. It is just this material that is 

 wanted at our national conventions. 

 To me the national flower show had 

 more of the convention spirit than 

 many of the conventions that I have 

 attended. At this show we all con- 

 centrated our thoughts on the work that 

 is common among us and when we left 

 we all felt that we had learned a great 

 deal that would help us in the future. I 

 believe that the spring is the logical 

 time for our national shows. A great 

 factor in making a national show a suc- 

 cess in the spring time is the fact that 

 all humanity awakens with a keen ap- 

 preciation of the beautiful, after a long 

 season when life has been practically 

 dormant. Just as the flowers burst forth 

 to welcome the sunshine of the spring, 

 so the spirit of human nature bursts 

 forth with a keen appreciation and 

 eager desire to see and enjoy the 

 beauties of nature. 



There are many matters of interest 

 that appertain to our work that are 

 called to our attention at national 

 flower shows. Thesl^^ matters could be 

 taken up while we are in convention 

 and I believe that the immediate bene-
