The Florists' Review 



Jdlt 1, 1915. 



after providing them with funds 8i(ffi« 

 cient to meet the needs of this associa- 

 tion, I would give them power to do 

 all things necessary for the upbuilding 

 of this association, even to the power of 

 choosing the man who should serve 

 them as secretary-treasurer. I would 

 have them to be to the association what 

 a well organized directory is to a busi- 

 ness corporation. 



"I would make it obligatory upon 

 this committee to cause to be gathered 

 statistics showing the amount of stock 

 in surplus, and endeavor by every 

 known means to bring together on an 

 equitable basis the man who has stock 

 to buy and the man who has stock to 

 sell. I would suggest to this committee 

 the desirability of recommending to 

 the members of this association the 

 necessity of curtailing plantings when- 

 ever its investigations suggested that 

 there was an overproduction along any 

 given line. I would ask that they go 

 further in the discharge of their duties, 

 and at a certain season during the year, 

 at that particular time when the best 

 results would accrue, that they, through 

 the secretary-treasurer, issue an ad- 

 dress to every member of this associa- 

 tion, the aim being to stimulate prices 

 and eliminate cut-throat methods which 

 have been too true of the past. And 

 then, gentlemen, I have the hardihood 

 to stand before you and plead that the 

 recommendations of your executive com- 

 mittee be the basis upon which your 

 wholesale trade lists shall be issued, 

 and I would plead, further, that after 

 you have issued said trade lists you 

 stand or fall by the prices printed 

 therein. I believe that when our whole- 

 sale trade lists are printed there should 

 be at least a semblance of uniformity 

 in prices, and that said prices as print- 

 ed should represent, in a measure at 

 least, the price at which our stock 

 should be sold. I do not want to be 

 misunderstood as suggesting a coinbina- 

 tion of interests that would be in re- 

 straint of trade, of suggesting combina- 

 tion in prices that would subject you 

 to a revision by the courts of the land. 

 The printing of individual price lists is 

 an individual matter, and should con- 

 tinue to be so, but what I am endeavor- 

 ing to say is that there should be some 

 uniformity of prices on the same com- 

 modity, whether your trade list is issued 

 in Texas or in New York."
