ately being "Credit." The speaker, 

 in the course of nis remarks, stated that 

 the foundation of all business is credit, 

 and the foundation of all credit is char- 

 acter. The credit man has to make 

 a study of human nature. In or- 

 der to make friends he must adopt 

 a friendly attitude. He must be 

 resourceful and tact is absolutely neces- 

 sary. The credit man must be an op- 

 timist, with confidence in human na- 

 ture. Everyone should be classed as 

 O. K. until proved otherwise. Good will 

 and services are the essence of business. 

 Bringing business down to a normal 

 standard must be done by cooperation. 

 It is a bad practice to try to willfully 

 oversell a customer; it shows a flagrant 

 disregard of the customer. He believed 

 ninety-nine per cent of the customers 

 were honest and the balance wished 

 they might be honest. Delinquents, if 

 brought in for a friendly talk, could be 

 held for future trade. 



The death of the wife of Seymour 

 Grose was announced and members rose 

 and paid a silent tribute to her mem- 

 ory. The resignations of three retailers 

 were uanimously accepted. There was 

 considerable discussion over the Na- 

 tional Flower Growers' Association and 

 its policy was generally commended. 

 In the discussion F. E. Palmer, 

 Peter Fisher, H. H. Bartsch, Henry 

 Penn, Geo. W. Butterworth and others 

 took part. A committee consisting of 

 Messrs. Palmer, Gorney and Eisemann 

 was appointed to prepare a suitable let- 

 ter to be sent to all retailers asking 

 them to join in the movement. It was 

 stated that growers with nearly 2,000,- 

 000 feet of glass have already joined 

 the association.

A Notable Orchid Display. 



Albert C. Burrage made another of 

 his splendid orchid displays at Horti- 

 cultural hall October 9 and 10. The 

 group had twenty feet frontage, was 

 fifteen feet deep and some sixteen feet 

 in height and was most artistically ar- 

 ranged. At the top were numerous 



plants of Oncidium Rogersii. Below 

 this was a broad band of Cattleya 

 labiata, carrying hundreds of flowers. 

 Next came bold masses of Cattleya 

 Fabia and C. aurea. Near the base 

 were two large groups of Odontoglos- 

 sum grande, while numerous choice 

 cypripediums, like Maudije, Dread- 

 nought, gigas, Corndeanii, enfieldense
