rectors, as the man holding this oflSce 

 acts as a helmsman and should be fully 

 qualified to handle these affairs, and 

 his mind should be on our work at all 

 times. It seems to me that if this were 

 the case, the long dormant period that 

 our society passes through from the date 

 of one convention to the date of an- 

 other would become a period of activity 

 and promotion. To be a successful so- 

 ciety we must always be active. I do 

 not wish my remarks to be construed as 

 in any manner criticizing our present 

 secretary. He has discharged the duties 

 of his office with the greatest efficiency 

 and fidelity. We have been fortunate 

 to have had the services of so able a 

 man as the present incumbent, John 

 Young. I simply believe that it would 

 be to the interest of all of us that this 

 official, whoever he may be, should be 

 in a position to devote his undivided 

 attention to the society. 



Mothers' Day. 



At the last executive meeting of our 

 society it was decided that a collection 

 be made from our members from dif- 

 ferent parts of the country. The 

 moneys obtained were to be used by 

 Miss Jarvis for the furtherance of her 

 good work — the promotion of Mothers' 

 day. This act, I believe, was a good 

 one, for Mothers' day has become uni- 

 versally recognized throughout the 

 country and it is up to the florists to 

 continue to advertise and promote the 

 work that has been so well begun. How- 

 ever, while I myself approved such 

 contributions to Miss .Tarvis, I do not 

 believe that such a method of securing 

 'funds for this work is effective or busi- 

 nesslike. As soon as the fund so ac- 

 crued is depleted, the work will natu- 

 rally discontinue and we, as a society, 

 are here to perpetuate Mothers' day. I 

 would, therefore, recommend that the 

 Society of American Florists appoint 

 a permanent committee, whose duty it 

 will be to constantly stimulate interest 

 in Mothers' day, and I would suggest 

 that this committee look into the mat- 

 ter of securing a permanent fund to pro- 

 mote this work. As regards a suitable 

 flower, emblematic of Mothers' day, 

 I will say that considerable discussion 

 was given to this matter at the conven-
