THE S. A. F. MEDAL. 



The presentation of the S. A. F. 

 bronze medat for school gardens to the 

 Dennison school at Washington is of 

 more than passing interest to the florists 

 throughout, the United States. 1 want 

 to say, personally, that I did not feel that 

 I could spare the time to present this 

 medal, but the school committee finally 

 |jput it in such a way, stating that I 

 sffl|jould designate my own time; therefore 

 r felt it was a public duty, and finally 

 agreed to present it on the date men- 

 tioned in the Keview last week. 



I want to say further that I am par- 

 ticularly pleased that I should have been 

 the medium \)y which this medal was 

 transmitted from the Society of Ameri- 

 can Florists to the Dennison school; it 

 was one of the most pleasant incidents 

 of my whole life. You can imagine bet- 

 ter than I can tell you a scene of 450 

 >f little children, girls and boys from the 

 various grades, come marching in through 

 two entrances in the lecture hall, each 

 holding up in his right hand an Ameri- 

 can Beauty rose. It was really a pic- 

 ture that I am sorry every member of 

 the Society of American Florists and 

 every florist in the United States, for 

 that matter, could not witness. All the 

 daily papers here spoke of it. 



Personally, I feel this little bronxe 

 medal has done the encouragemeht of 

 floral culture more good than the S. A. 

 F. has ever done to my knowledge. 



At the conclusion of the presentation 

 there was another magnificent scene, Viz., 

 the Chautauqua salute. The 450 children 

 rose to their feet, waving snowy white 

 handkerchiefs. Wm. F. Gude.
