tion is near at hand. I know that all 

 the best and ablest men in our profes- 

 sion are backing it. Several of our 

 former presidents have tried to bring 

 about some step toward such amalgama- 

 tion — Philip Breitmeyer, F. R. Pierson, 

 W. F. Stewart, Wm. F. Gude, E. Vin- 

 cent, and our present president, J. K. M. 

 L. Farquhar. The first time I met our 

 present president after his election last 

 summer, in a committee meeting in New 

 York last fall, he said to me: "How 

 can we bring about affiliationt" show- 

 ing what was foremost in his mind and 

 most essential to the future success of 

 our national society. 



Duty to the Trade. 



Fellow members, the time is here to 

 do something. We owe it to the mother 

 society, we owe it to ourselves and to 

 our chosen profession. Shake off this 

 indiflference and lethargy; look around 

 you, see what other business interests 

 are doing, and you will find that they 

 are all solid to their interest. Are we 

 less in need of it? I say no! Are we 

 less intelligent? Again no! Are we 

 slow and selfish? Here I have to shout 

 no! I feel sure you will answer these 

 questions the way I did. Then why in 

 the name of common sense don't we go 

 to work and unify our interest and take 

 the place we should occupy in the front 

 rank among other business interests? 

 Horticulture is large enough, with its 

 many millions invested in it, and tens 

 of thousands of fellow workers. The 

 object of a convention is to better our 

 conditions in business and to help one 

 another. It is not fair for 1,500 mem- 

 bers, or less, of the S. A. F. to do all 

 the work and pay the cost, while the 

 other ten or fifteen thousand interested 

 in our business get the benefit of what- 

 ever comes from it, without giving their 

 share of work or money. By amalgama- 

 tion with the florists' clubs, we will get 

 thousands of such delinquent florists, 

 who at the present time do not seem to 

 see the point at issue, or do not care, 

 but who will, if this is properly ex-

plained to them at their home club 

 meeting, I feel sure, vote for affiliation. 



In conclusion, I once more appeal to 

 all before me and to all those who read 

 these lines to prove their loyalty to 

 their profession by helping to put our 

 national society on such a basis that its 

 value to all of us will be ever so much 

 greater than before. Although it has 

 been a stanch friend to Us for twenty- 

 eight years, its usefulness can be in- 

 creased many times if we all do our 

 share of work. 



Fellow members, we have a duty to 

 fulfill toward the destiny of our profes- 

 sion, toward the welfare of our children. 

 Do not let us fail, but work so that the 

 realization of this movement will soon 

 be an assured fact, is the earnest desire 

 of all its well-wishers.
