GBAND OPENING WEEK. 



Membership Drive Is On. 



Now, let's get busy, everybody! The 

 big spring holidays are over and we are 

 all feeling fine. Soon the plantsmen, too, 

 will have a little breathing spell. So for 

 a little recreation for ourselves and for 

 the good of the S. A. F. (meaning all of 

 us), let's jump into our machines and go 

 on a little hunt, filling our hunting bags 

 with S. A. F. applications blanks, and 

 scour the cities, woods and fields around 

 about us for new members and on the 

 way greet old ones. 



Come on, boys! The goal is set to dou- 

 ble the membership in ninety days. The 

 slogan is, "Every Member Get a Mem- 

 ber. ' ' But let 's ijeat that. The harvest 

 is ripe. Let's kill the old saying, "The 

 workers are few. ' ' Every member haa- 

 had blanks mailed him. If you were 

 overlooked, write any of us. 

 Membership committee: 



Joseph H. Hill. 



A. L. Miller. 



Paul E. Klingsporn. 



S. S. Pennock. 



J. F. Ammann. 



S. A. F. OVER THE TOP. 



Every Member to Get Another. 



The zero hour is set, May 15; the 

 main objective is established, to double 

 the membership of the S. A. F. in ninety 

 days; the war ory is, "Every member 

 get a member! * ' 



What about it ? Already J. F. Am- 

 mann, chairman of the membership com- 

 mittee, and H. V. Swenson are on their 

 way to the Pacific coast in the interest 

 of the S. A. F., the growers, cooperative 

 advertising and other aflSliated organi- 

 zations. Among other cities, they will 

 visit St. Paul, Minneapolis, Spokane, 

 Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los 

 Angeles. Salt Lake City, Denver, Kan- 

 sas City, Omaha and Des Moines. The 

 cities in which meetings so far are sched- 

 uled are as follows:

It is intended to make stops at inter- 

 vening points and arrange several more 

 meetings on the way going out and com- 

 ing back, covering in all about twentv 

 or twenty-five cities. 



What Is Being Done. 



Besides that, splendid arrangements 

 have been planned to boost the member- 

 ship. Weekly letters to both "fellow 

 craftsmen" and "fellow members" will 

 be sent out to point out the importance 

 and desirability of an increased mem- 

 bership from the standpoints of the in- 

 dividual and the organization. Posters 

 that talk right at you will leave no 

 room for denying the organization your 



membership. And besides that, personal 

 letters and folders with a pull in them 

 will be distributed. 



Is the movement getting any support? 

 These men have each pledged to secure 

 ten new members before the dates of the 

 next convention: Thomas Boland, 

 Adolph Gude, John Young, J. J. Hess, 

 Joseph H. Hill, C. C. PoUworth, Herman 

 P. Knoble, Paul E. Klingsporn, Thomas 

 H. Joy, Carl Hagenburger, A. L. Miller,

Your Support Needed. 



But to double the membership in 

 ninety days is an objective that can be 

 attained only through the earnest co- 

 operation of everybody concerned. J. F. 

 Amman and his associates on the com- 

 mittee, Joseph H. Hill, A. L. Miller, 

 Paul E. Klingsporn and S. S. Pennock, 

 are hoping to get that support. 



SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Fare to Washington Convention. 



That a one and one-half rate of fare 

 for visitors to the convention in Wash- 

 ington, August 16 to 18, will be made 

 by the trunk line associations is now 

 practically assured. The association 

 covering New York state east of and 

 including Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Sus- 

 pension Bridge and S.ilamanca; New 



Jersey; Pennsylvania, east of and in- 

 cluding Erie, Oil City and Pittsburgh; 

 Delaware; Maryland; District of Co- 

 lumbia; Virginia, and West Virginia, 

 east of and including Wheeling, Park- 

 ersburg, Kenova, Orange and Norfolk, 

 has already provided for the selling of 

 tickets on the certificate plan and the 

 other associations, without doubt, will 

 fall into line. 



Identification certificates will be 

 issued to members by the society, 

 through the secretary's oflSce, applica- 

 ble to members of our organization and 

 dependent members of their families 

 only, and tickets will be good via the 

 same route in both directions. The 

 tickets will be sold from August 16 to 

 19 and will be validated at Washington 

 by agents at the regular ticket ofSces 

 of the lines over which the tickets read 

 into Washington for August 16 to 19. 

 When validated, the tickets will be 

 good for return, leaving Washington 

 only on the date of validation, and pas- 

 sengers must reach original starting 

 point within the transit limit shown on 

 tickets, but in no case later than mid- 

 night August 21. One certificate will 

 suffice for each member and will include 

 privileges for. dependent members of 

 iiis or her family; in other words, sep- 

 .irate certificates will not be necessarv. 



More Exhibitors. 



The list of exhibitors in the trade 

 exhibition was augmented last week 

 by reservations by the United Bulb 

 Growers, of New York city, and the 

 A. L. Eandall Co., of Chicago. 



Official Program. 



The official program covering the 

 convention proceedings is having the 

 careful attention of those in whose 

 hands it has been placed and, as at 

 present drafted, bids fair to eclipse in 

 interest all previous programs. If any 

 member has suggestions to make as to 

 features for the program, he is invited 

 to send them in to the secretary and 

 consideration of them is assured. 



Mrs. George Asmus,' Chicago, presi- 

 dent of the Ladies' S. A. F., is sparing 

 no effort to make the assistance to be 

 rendered by her organization at the 

 convention highly valuable to the 

 society. Washington is a city which 

 ladies take delight in visiting and 

 there is so much to see there that there 

 is opportunity for a great deal of serv- 

 ice by the ladies of this organization 

 and, with the help of the Washington 

 local organization of ladies, every lad;- 

 visitor will be well entertained and 

 taken care of while the masculine ele- 

 ment are engaged in convention duties. 



The Membership Drive. 



The drive for a doubling of the so- 

 ciety's membership is now on and the 

 committee in charge of it is hopeful of 

 success. Letters and printed matter 

 are going out arguing support in this 

 most worthy proceeding and every 

 member should make a zealous attempt 

 to live up to the slogan of the drive, 

 "Every member get a member."
