SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



National Publicity Campaign. 



Renewed interest is bein;; taken in 

 the campaion now that the summer sea- 

 son is passini;-. The )iulilicity commit 

 tee is id.anniiifi to resume national ad- 

 \ertisinK in October, and, judging from 

 the general oiiinion exjiressed in the 

 trade, such resumption will be most 

 t imely. 



The secretary is sending out to about 

 •-Mill of the "live wires" interested in 

 the campaign subscription books, such 

 .as were circnl.ated at the Washington 

 coii\ention, containing subscription 

 blanks, which they are urged to jdace 

 before florist nonsubscribers in their 

 ilifVereiit territories, with explanations 

 .as to the advisability of contributing 

 to the fund. The return of these blanks 

 lomplete.l is ho])efully looked for by 

 the committee by October 15, when 

 there will be need for all available 

 funds. .Ml doubt as to the eflficacy of 

 n.ational .advertising was long .ago re 

 movi'd, and if the committee is provided 

 with a sufliciency of funds, the advan 

 t.ages previously obt.ained can be mate 

 rially increased, for the giiod of all in 

 the trade. 



The follow iiie subscriptions are ot 

 r.cor.l since the last report:
