A General View of the Outdoor Exhibits at the S. A. F. Convention at Minneapolis This Week. 





are not as large as they were at the 

 last convention — the receipts this year 

 are a little less than $4,000 — still the 

 exhibition is a comprehensive* one. 

 There are over sixty firms represented 

 and, as the expenses have been kept 

 down wherevQr possible, there will be 

 a substantial balance to turn into the 

 treasury. 



The outdoor planting exhibition, which 

 was under the able supervision of Vice- 

 President Theo. Wirth, speaks for 

 itself. It is many years since anything 

 of the kind has been attempted by our 

 society and the results obtained are 

 highly satisfactory, and have been the 

 cause of much favorable comment. 

 While this outdoor planting exhibition 

 did not receive the support it deserved, 

 still there are thirty-two leading firms 

 represented. It is understood that these 

 outdoor planting exhibitions will be 

 continued in the cities where future 

 conventions are held, and should be the 

 source of some revenue to the society, 

 11 addition to their educational fea- 

 tures. 



Membership. 



From January 1, 1913, to August 9, 

 ^^13, there have been added to the 

 "lenibership list the names of 125 an- 

 •lual members and 25 life members. 

 ''August 9, 1913, the list of those in 

 good standing was as follows: Pioneer 

 ">eiiibers, 28; life members, 352; annual 

 n?eii!bers, 923; total, 1,303. In addi- 

 "oii to these, there are the following 

 ^hdse assessments are in arrears: 1911 

 ass. ^sment, 66; 1911-12 assessment, 129; 

 ]^\ assessment, 311; total in arrears, 

 ^06 This makes a total membership 

 °^ ,810; 27 of these are active lady 

 met bers. 



J^ ' it can be seen that the member- 

 ?"i; of the society is gradually increas- 

 '"g Many of those owing back dues 



have paid up since this report was 

 made up, and several will pay during 

 the convention week. Many new names 

 have been added and I have every con- 

 fidence that at the end of the year 1913 

 this society will have a list of 2,000 

 members in good standing. The trade 

 at large, through the wide publicity 

 given the society by the trade press 

 and other channels, are awakening and 

 see the benefits of joining the society, 

 and it should be only a short time be- 

 fore this society will have a list of 

 members such as the organizers hoped 

 and looked forward to.
