ident-elect I. S. Hendrickson to the 

 platform. The new vice-president, 

 Boinan J. Irwiii, was escorted to the 

 platform by J. A. Manda and Wallace 



E. Pierson and made a short address 

 appreciative of his election to office. 

 Secretary Young made suitable re- 

 sponse to a call from the chair, grace- 

 fully acknowledging the compliment 

 paid him by his reelection to the 

 office he has held so long. Treasurer 

 Rickards sent his regrets that he could 

 not be present that evening, being 

 obliged to leave the city immediately 

 after the meeting of the trustees. Joseph 

 A. Manda and Percy B. Rigby, newly- 

 elected trustees, also made short ad- 

 dresses and promised earnest efifort to 

 continue the club's success. 



President Hendrickson then took the 

 gavel and presided for the remainder of 

 the meeting. 



Secretary Young read a letter from ex- 

 President Henshaw expressing regret at 

 his inability to be present, but extending 

 his best wishes for the success of the new 

 administration. On motion of Mr. Knight, 

 the secretary was instructed to telephone 

 Mr. Henshaw assuring him of the club's 

 sympathy with him in his illness and the 

 hope of the members that he would be 

 speedily restored to health. 



Committees Appointed. 



President Hendrickson made a short 

 inaugural address, during which he ex- 

 pressed his belief in the wisdom of 

 adopting a budget system for the control 

 of the club's expenditures, recommended 

 efforts 1o extend the life membership list 

 and the setting aside of all money re- 

 ceived from that source in a separate 

 fund, and urged that a reasonable appro- 

 priation be made to the essay committee 

 for use in securing lecturers. He an- 

 nounced the appointment of committees 

 for the year as follows:

 Carnation Society and the National 

 Flower Growers' Association, January 26 

 and 27. 



Arthur Herrington, for the flower show 

 committee, responded that at a meeting 

 of the joint committee that afternoon, 

 arrangements for the spring show were 

 found to be most complete. The com- 

 petitive section would be larger than 

 before, and all the big exhibits expected 

 would materialize; in fact, were already 

 arranged for. The trade exhibition was 

 not so far advanced as usual, but no 

 anxiety was fflt on that score, indica- 

 tions being that this section would be 

 fully up to the usual standard.

Tlie following were elected to member- 

 ship in the club: Wm. Sullivan, 112 

 West Twenty-eighth street ; George SuUi-

WHO'S WHO ^S AND WHY 



ADOLPHUS GUDE. 



WHO will deny that the ojiening of the year 1021 is auspicious when it ushers 

 into office as vice-president of the S. A. F. such a man as Adolphus Gude? 

 Mr. Gude has earned his high prestige in the trade. In 1888 he went into business 

 for himself after a boyhood spent in florists' employ. His brother, William F. 

 Gude, joined him the next year, and so successful were these two that in 1906 they 

 capitalized the firm of Gude Bros. Co. for $50,000 and had a surplus of $26,000. 

 Since then the firm's growth has been great. Known to the trade all over the 

 country, this kind, genial man has made such a name for hospitality tliat a trip to 

 Washington is incomplete without a visit to Gude Bros. Co. Adolphus Gude 

 extends his activities outside the trade, also. He is president of the Anacostia 

 bank, member of the Washington Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce, and 

 a member of many fraternal societies, including the Masons, Odd l\'llo\vs and Elks. 

 Maybe there is an explanation of his record in his life's motto, "Start or promise 

 nothing that you cannot fulfill and fulfill everything that you promise."

Siebreclit, T. S. Hendrickson and Roman 

 J. Irwin had taken out life memberships. 

 Emil Schloss moved that a budget com- 

 mittee be ajipointed to consider the mat- 

 ter of appropriations and report at the 

 next meeting. Secretary Young moved 

 in amendment that the matter of appro- 

 priations be left in the hands of the 

 l)oard of trustees. The aniendiiient was 

 carried and the original motion lost.
