The Florists^ Review 



Dbckmbeb 31, 1914. 



Vm. R. Nicholson. 



(Appointed a Director of the Society of American Florists by Piesldent Welch.) 



now done by organizations. Consequent- 

 ly, the members of our society in each 

 state must work with the vice-presi- 

 dents to insure an increased member- 

 ship. 



An increased membership will have 

 its influence at Washington, with Con- 

 gfress, and at the capitols of the dif- 

 ferent states, with the legislators both 

 at home and in the national capital. 



An increased membership will better 

 enable us to continue our campaign of 

 education, at our national flower shows 

 and at our annual convention garden. 

 Many of our yousfg men, traveling 

 through the country, were some suf- 

 ficient stimulant offered, could assist in 

 increasing the membership and I am 

 willing to offer the stimulant — a watch 

 and chain to cost not less than $150, 

 the funds for which I will raise among 

 my friends, to be awarded to the mem- 

 ber who will send to the secretary, 

 John Young, 33 West Twenty-eighth 

 street. New York city, the largest 

 number of names of new members be- 

 tween January 1 and July 31, 1915. 



Again wishing you all the joys and 

 blessings of the season, I remain, yours 

 sincerely, 



Patrick Welch, President.
