RATES TO S. A. F. CONVENTION. 



Reduced Fares for Members. 



Through the efforts of Secretary John 

 ^'ouiifj, nieinbers of the Society of 

 Anicriean florists will be able to obtain 

 reduced railroad rates in traveling to 

 and from the Washington convention, 

 August 1(5 to 38. The reduction will 

 vary, liowever, in accordance with the 

 section of the country in which one re- 

 sides, since the various passenger asso- 

 ciations have not offered the same re- 

 duction. In New England territory, for 

 instance, there will be no reductioH, but 

 those who travel from that section can 

 secure the benefit of the reduction in 

 territory l)etween New England and 

 Washington. The rates which apply to 

 each member may be gleaned from the 

 regubitions below, as issued by each 

 ]);issenger association.

The ])ublicity committee is in hopes 

 of being able to resume national adver- 

 tising shortly. The committee is com- 

 pelled to see that the necessary funds to 

 cover the contracts now under consid- 

 eration are available when comjiletion 

 of these contracts on their part is called 

 for. The iidvertisements in publications 

 such as it is found desirable to use are 

 printed in editions which go to jiress 

 some weeks in advance of the date of 

 issue; hence the anxiety of the com- 

 mittee in reg.'ird to speedy fulfilhiient 

 of the guarantees of our subscribers.

 served. Nine reservations were made

 oflRces by the inembershi|is sent in. 

 There are few communities in this coun-
