we aim to sell in advance the trade 

 tickets and bulk sale tickets to an 

 amount not less than $12,000 and to sell 

 trade space to allied interests that will 

 net $15,000. Then there is the possi- 

 bility of an income of between $3,000 

 and $4,000 from the various concessions, 

 and about this same amount from the 

 special premiums offered, making a total 

 of $35,000. This, with a guarantee fund 

 of $20,000, makes a total of $55,000. 

 Thus you will see that the society is pro- 

 tected absolutely from any financial 

 loss. And you might say that this also 

 applies to the guarantors, as there is re- 

 mote chance of an exhibition being 

 staged by the well trained men on our 

 committee but what it is safe to depend 

 upon at least 40,000 paid admissions. 



"In the past we have been working 

 with the assistance of such organiza- 

 tions as the American Rose Society and 

 the American Carnation Society, which 

 have always cooperated, but did not 

 have any financial responsibilities as far 

 as sharing in profits or losses was con- 

 cerned. The ])resent working condition 

 is different. Prior to the contemplated 

 show in St. Louis, we entered into an 

 agreement with tlio American Kose So- 

 ciety to have it act as copartner with 

 the S. A. F. in promoting that show. 

 Now it will merely be a matter of fig- 

 ures as to what proportion was under- 

 written by the American Rose Society 

 and what proportion was underwritten 

 by the American Carnation Society. 

 Basing the matter on results from the 

 last national flower show, at Pliiladel- 

 phia, the American Rose Society would 

 have been entitled to about thirteen 

 per cent of the profits and the American 

 Carnation Society to about eight per 

 cent. Thus we have two guarantors not 

 mentioned before, as both of these or- 

 ganizations are responsible for losses in 

 the proportion as to the amoiint of 

 money they are to particifiitte in the 

 profits of." 



Ileriiiaii P. Knoble reported tliat the 

 V)uililiiig in Cleveland which was to 

 house the show woiild be completed by 

 October 1, and its use for the pur])ose 

 was assured, as far as anytliing could 

 be assured. He urged that everybody 

 cooperate to make the show a success 

 and promised whole-souled cooperation 

 on tlie part of the Cleveland interests. 



J. F. Amniiinn moved, seconded by 

 W. F. Gude, that the board recommend 

 to the August convention that a si)eeial
