The Florists' Review 



Fbbbuabt 19, 1920 



Augustine, Normal, formerly secretary; 

 vice-president, George Klehin, Arling- 

 ton Heights; treasurer, Clyde Leesley, 

 Chicago; member of executive commit- 

 tee to succeed William Saddler, Alvin 

 E. Nelson, Chicago. A. H. Hill, Dundee, 

 and F. W. Von Oven, Naperville, are 

 the other members of the executive com- 

 mittee. After the final session Thurs- 

 day, the new executive committee met 

 and selected J. A. Young, Aurora, to 

 act as secretary. 



President Ck)unsel8 Care. 



After the roll had been called Wednes- 

 day morning, the president, Guy A. 

 Bryant, Princeton, delivered his ad- 

 dress, which summed up the present 

 situation in the following paragraphs: 



The present manrelouB proe];>erlty of our coun- 

 try and the unprecedented demand for nursery 

 products at higher prices than ever before, to- 

 gether with the application of the federal quar- 

 antine, following the curtailed prodnctloa of tli* 

 war period, have produced a condition In the 

 trade that merits careful study. 



We know that for this season there will not be 

 enough fruit trees to supply the demand and 

 that many sorts of ornamentals are now nearly 

 off the market, so that the limit of the busi- 

 ness done this spring will depend altogether on 

 our ability to And stock to take care of orders. 

 It now looks as if this state of affairs would 

 continue through 1920, and perhaps through 1021. 



The present shortage of stock and the result- 

 ing high prices have tended to cause nearly all 

 nurserymen to arrange for greatly Increased 

 plantings this spring and to stimulate produc- 

 tion in every way possible. I should not be 

 deemed a pessimist if, in this time of extreme 

 shortage, I should sound a note of warning as to 

 the probable overproduction that will result if 

 we do not use rare judgment as to the extent 

 of our plantings during the next two years. If 

 we make conservative plantings to fit individual 

 needs, with, perhaps, a moderate surplus, we 

 shall do our part in warding off that overproduc- 

 tion that is bound to follow Indiscrmiinate 

 planting. 



President Bryant then called atten- 

 tion to the need of cooperation with the 

 A. A. N., of increasing the state as- 

 sociation 's membership and, possibly, of 

 raising the dues, and to the desirability 

 of having the state vice-presidents for 

 the national association appointed at 

 the meetings of the various state asso- 

 ciations. 



Cooperation and Service. 



Owing to the absence of P. A. Glenn, 

 chief inspector of the state department 

 of agriculture, A. H. Hill, of the D. 

 Hill Nursery Co., Dundee, obligingly 

 moved his address ahead from Thursday- 

 morning to Wednesday . afternoon, 

 speaking of the ways in which the state 

 association could cooperate with the 

 A. A. N. In the same ses.sion, J. A. 

 Young, of the Aurora Nurseries, Aurora, 

 presented a vigorous paper on "What 

 Does the Nurseryman Sell?" showing 

 the need of strict honesty in the busi- 

 ness and of the realization by everyone 

 in it that he is selling, not plants sim- 

 ply, but service. In line with this sub- 

 ject, the association adopted the fol- 

 lowing code of ethics, recommended by 

 the committee on ethical standards: 



First — To consider my vocation worthy and af- 

 fording me distinct opportunity to serve society. 



Second — To improve myself, increase my effi- 

 ciency and enlarge my sen-Ice, and by so doing 

 attest my faith in the nursery business. 



Third — To realize that I am a nurseryman and 

 a business man and ambitious to succeed, but 

 tiiat I am first a moral man and vrtsh no suc- 

 cess that Is not founded on the highest justice 

 and morality. 



Tonrth — To hold that the exchange of my 

 goods, my service and my ideas for profits is 

 legitimate and morally right and that it shall be 

 my aim that all i>artles to the exchange shall 

 be benefited thereby. 



Fifth. — To use my best endeavors to elevate 

 the standards of the vocation in which I am en- 

 gaged. 



Call for Accounting. 



Thursday morning contained, in ad- 

 dition to the election of oflBcers, two 

 addresses which were provocative, not
