same time will not prove a burden on 

 the individual member. 



"Another question that will at once 

 suggest itself to you is, how much 

 money can this association afford to 

 spend in the administration of its 

 affairs! I believe that we can afford 

 'to spend all that it is possible for us 

 to raise, and that no matter how well 

 our plans may be worked out, we will 

 not have spent the money that could 

 have been spent advantageously. I am 

 unable to say with any degree of ac- 

 curacy how much money the plan that 

 I shall present would bring into the 

 treasury of the association, but I be- 

 lieve that it would be good business, 

 provided such an amount can be raised, 

 to place in the hands of the executive 

 committee an amount of not less than 

 $10,000 per annum, and to double that 

 amount if it is possible. 



Wliy We Need Money. 



"Why does this association need ad- 

 ditional funds? First, beyond any sort 

 of question, we need the services of at 

 least one man for his entire time. We 

 need a paid secretary-treasurer who will 

 be capable of earning a handsome 

 salary. To procure the services of 

 such a man you must pay him a salary 

 in keeping with the services he is ex- 

 pected to render. 



"Second, I believe that you will 

 agree with me when I say that it is 

 an imposition to ask any body of men 

 to serve as committeemen without re- 

 muneration, and to pay their own ex- 

 penses while discharging the duties in- 

 cumbent upon them. Your executive 

 committee, therefore, needs money with 

 which to pay the expenses of the dif- 

 ferent committeemen as they go from 

 place to place in the discharge of their 

 arduous duties, which costs the asso- 

 ciation not one cent. 



"Third, we need money, and lots of 

 it, for publicity. We have lost and 

 will continue to lose until provided for, 

 a great opportunity to keep our inter- 

 ests before the world by a properly 

 financed, well organized campaign for 

 publicity. I do not know how much 

 money should be spent in keeping our 

 interests before the people, but when I 

 consider the dense ignorance of the 

 people regarding the nursery interests 

 of America, it is little wonder to me 

 that our profits go up each year in the 

 brush pile. No money, I take it, that 

 we could 'spend would be better spent 

 than a liberal allowance to a thorough- 

 ly capable committee on publicity.

WINTER-FLOWERING ROSES 



Specially Low Prices to Close Out Stocks Remalnlns Unsold. 



We have a particularly fine stock of the newer and leading standard varieties 

 in 3I3 and 4-inch pots ready for immediate planting. The prices quoted below for 

 3^ and 4-iuch stock are as low as the prices at which 2^4-inch stock is usually 

 sold. The demand for Ophelia is very heavy. If you want to plant this valu- 

 able new rose, do not delay placing order. While we have a nice stock of it 

 at present, at the rate it is selling we are likely to become sold out before long.
