upon for local publicity and also fur- 

 nishing liberal support to the fund of 

 the national campaign. The commit- 

 tee, Mr. Totty said, could only report 

 progress, but the project was a live one 

 and was to receive earnest consideration 

 looking to early action. 



F. B. Pierson told what the Buffalo 

 florists had done in the way of coopera- 

 tive advertising, obtaining results which 

 had made the business of St. Valentine 's 

 day a close second only to that of Easter, 

 while business for other festivals had 



-.been increased in proportion to their im- 

 portance. If such results can be ob- 

 tained in Buffalo^ they can be obtained 

 in New York. Pessimists had, years 

 ago, prophesied that it would be im- 

 possible to make flower shows a success 

 in New York, but experience has shown 

 otherwise. 



G. E. M. Stumpp was of the opinion 

 that New York could stand a lot of pub- 

 licity looking to increasing the sale of 

 corsage bouquets. He said the lack of 

 these at functions, for theater wear, and 

 even on the street was a reflection on 

 the florists' trade. He believed that 

 publicity could make this particular 

 business in a short time ten times what 

 it is today. 



F. R. Pierson told of the efforts of the 

 tariff and legislative committee of the 

 8. A. F. to have the matter of Quaran- 

 tine Order No. 37 reopened for hearing. 

 There seemed to be a possibility, Mr. 

 Pierson said, that the matter might be 

 given a hearing and some modification 

 at least be made in the terms of the 

 quarantine. What is to prevent insects 

 coming in over the more than 3,000 

 miles of border between Canada and the 

 United States, seeing that Canada was 

 considering no similar embargo t And 

 what is to prevent Canada shipjlng into 

 the United States cut flowers of many 

 of the items quarantined, particularly 

 orchids t These points, he said, are of 

 Hie common-sense kind and demand 

 attention. He was hopeful, he declared, 

 iiat some good would come of the vigor- 

 ous opposition the society had set up, 

 especially as it now is known to the 

 Secretary of Agriculture that the nurs- 

 erymen were ninety-five per cent against 

 the quarantine instead of ninety per 

 cent for it, as had been represented by 

 the Federal Horticultural Board. 



The speaker of the evening was Edwin 

 E. Saltj I expert industrial accountant, 

 who gave an interesting address on 

 ' * The Root of IncomB and Outgo. ' ' The 

 address was rather one looking to en- 

 couraging the keeping of an accurate 

 account of costs than of describing a 

 system whereby it could be done. Be-
