first rudiments of the profession, but 

 since there is no distinction in law, they 

 ar© admitted to be florists. It is, 

 therefore, the duty of the F. T. D. 

 florists to educate their brother florists. 

 I have outlined how this can be done. 



We have numerous queries. Some ob- 

 ject to their local competitors becom- 

 ing members, chiefly for reasons of 

 their own, but, unless the objection is 

 well founded, it cannot be heeded. There 

 are cases where a person may not be 

 worthy of assistance, but usually there 

 is a cure for all ills that exist. 



Someone objected to the nationality 

 of -a person and stated that, in his opin- 

 ion, the F. T. D. should consist entirely of 

 Americans. In America, this great melt- 

 ing pot, how could anyone be anything 

 else but an American? Our past ex- 

 perience has taught us that we must 

 make good Americans of all foreign 

 nationalities. It is our duty to make 

 better Americans as we go along. By 

 kindness, all evil is overcome, and so I 

 say, the F. T. D. stands for .advance- 

 ment, and the day is coming when F. T. 

 D. membership will be 100 per cent 

 American. 



I estimate that 1,700 members average 

 ten orders per month. This totals 17,- 

 000 orders. Imagine 5,000 members at 

 twenty orders per month, and see the 

 figures. How they accumulate! Ten 

 ciphers would not suffice. 



Let us grow in the understanding for 

 good to our fellow men. So long as 

 we can not and do not want to prevent 

 the sale of flowers, it behooves us to 

 forget the dignity which at one time 

 was so prevalent in the profession and 

 bear with tlie so-called offenders, until 

 we can teach them the ethics which we 

 as a body stand for, and in the course 

 of time we shall all reap the benefit. 



Association Journal. 



No one can estimate the real value 

 of the new organ of the F. T. D. I 

 rejoice in having had the opportunity 

 of associating with the board of direc- 

 tors at tlie time it was made possible 

 to begin this work. To my mind this 

 was a worthy achievement. Mere words 

 cannot express the gratitude due those 

 who so earnestly and loyally reached the 

 goal they were striving for. I believe 

 the results obtained have amply repaid 

 them and have exceeded their utmost 

 expectation, and I know every member 

 has only kind comment to offer. 



The child is born and now requires 

 the proper nursing, and it is up to you, 

 each and every one, to give it your 

 hearty cooperation. You will receive 

 in a measure just what you contribute, I 



and it behooves you to stand ready to 

 put your shoulder to the wheel when 

 duty calls. 



It has already been stated that the 

 News is the mouthpiece of your or- 

 ganization, and I am sure it will gladly 

 furnish your every need. In the matter 

 of controversy among members, an air- 

 ing of any subject can be given through 

 its columns, but please do not bring up 

 petty personalities. Our district rep- 

 resentative, whose duties can be elabo- 

 rated upon, now furnishes a report once 

 a year. The News will enable him to 

 furnish a quarterly report, and this in- 

 formation should prove valuable. 



Housecleaning. 



We are constantly working on im- 

 proved service from florist to florist, and 

 we must all agree that we have ac- 

 complished much. The educational fea- 

 tures which will find their way to our 

 columns will increase in the proportion 

 as we ourselves apply our help. 



There are some ills to cure, but we 



must admit that our child is growing to 

 be a healthy boy. Housecleaning has 

 been going on rapidly and if we ac- 

 complished what we have by yearly 

 meetings, what can we expect from the 

 monthly applications? 



Sunday closing has been much dis- 

 cussed and I believe it is fairly well 

 lived up to. As F. T. D. members we 

 should be able to live up to a rule as 

 established by an organization, and 

 while I do not urge a mandatory order, 

 we ought to make it an F, T. D. law 

 and try to enforce it. 



So far Sunday closing has brought 

 about no hardships, and if the saying, 

 "In union there is strength," is prac- 

 ticed, the F. T. D. shops will be uniform 

 in their operations. 



The monthly price list is another step 

 in the right direction. Our manage- 

 ment is working on this matter and 

 undoubtedly it will prove a valuable 

 service. They have a plan in progress 

 and a discussion on the subject should 

 be in order.
