 Till-- will eualile us til t liiiniu^hly water 

 without auv ilainai^e, anil also to Ivcep 

 :ill (lust and ilirt oiv tho exliil.its. It is 

 tlie intention of the conimitlee to ilesi^n 

 tills in a heaiitit'ul \ ista etVect with 

 rose d;||-,|,.iis ;(n(! ^M'ou|)in^s of foliage 

 anil (lowering- plaiits, ami with the help 

 ami support ot' the lioiists' traile tliis 

 ouiiht to lie, indeed, a woiidorful spcc- 

 t ac-le to \ iew. 



In a shoit time the roiiunittee 

 Avill gather in tSt. Louis to aiijioint the 

 "Working- coinmit tees, and open the office 

 and start the |Mililicity canipaiun in 

 eaniost. 



The second preliminary schedule has 

 been sent out liy Secretai'y ,lohn Y()Uii<:;, 

 and it is hoped that this will recei\ e 

 the cousidei'a tion ol' the ;^ro\vers 

 throughout the country. I wish, (ince 

 more, to impress upon the tiado tho Im- 

 jioi'tauce of supporting' ymir coinmittt'C 

 in <loiny the work. 



Conflicting Dates. 



Just a Word to the jiromoters ot' flower 

 sliows tliron<rliout the coiiiiti'y. There is 



a lik(dil 1 in the ueai' futui'c of a 



clasiiiny of dates of larL;e shows in this 



country, it wduhl lie better for all eon 

 cerned if exhibitions could be ar 

 ranged as the automobile trade does 

 now, li\- allot meiit of dates. It brinj^s 

 a hardship upon the cxhibitoi's, both in 

 the trade and in the premium elasses, 

 when the shows conllict. Also, where 

 an out lit' town attendance is looked for, 

 it would a\oid ha\in<^ ;i number of 

 liiomineiit exhibitors and trades' peo]ile 

 absent by atteudiuj;- a show in another 

 locality. 



At the present time, the only large 

 spring exhibition tliat wi> know of next 

 year is in ^cw York, and as the dates 

 are iixed from March 14 to '2\, just 

 jirior to I'laster, it will be seen that there 

 will be no conflict there. Thus it can be 

 seen by a nangement tliere need be no 

 conflict of the dates of exhiljitions. 



Se\-eral times in the ])ast, an instance 

 being last s]>ring when St. Louis ami 

 \ew ^'ork exhibitions were being held 

 at aliont the same dati's, u number of 

 peo|)le in the trade informed nu' that 

 they were sorr,\', as they wished to at- 

 tend both shows. This also was true 

 in the case of the last big fall show in 

 Clextdand and Chicago, whose dates 

 were iilentical. 



1 also wish to call attention to the 

 societ_\''s medals which are a\ailable as 

 prizes. We are only too glad to offer 

 them where demand is made upon us.

 its estiililished lilies. 



Florists have reaped a rich harvest thronuli the 

 sale of .Mothers' da.v llowers (while we have li(>eu 

 lanientalil.v handicaiiped for real iieiessilies with 

 which to carr.v on onr work), and we must enter 

 our serious ohjections lo their invadiiiK the 

 printing lield, and infrint;int; upon the leKul 

 rights which are used Kouerall.v for protection 

 of printed matter. 



Anniiall.v wo issue an ofTicijil poster, leaflets.

 celidiratioii. and it is expected onr friends will 

 use them, or none. We iiinst have some wa.v of 

 existing' and meeting the constantl.v increasing' 

 expenses of onr work. 



We feel if llorisis nnderslood Mothers' da.v 

 better the.v would »;l:idl.v coiiperate with those 

 respoiisilile" for the developmeiil and iierpetna- 

 tion of the celelirat ion. and we trust in the near 

 future there will lie a frieiidl.v iinderstandinK 

 to this end. In the meant inie. we nuist ask that 

 the trade not onl.v witlnlr.i w their ininted mat- 

 ter for sale from the market. Iml lie f;i,od enouKli 

 friends to see that an.v other infringers do the 

 same.

 to be founder and head.
