PROPOSED CHANGE IN NAME. 



At tlic nieoting of the 8. A. F. pxocii- 

 tivo (-omiiiittoe iit Pliiliulolpliia in Marcli, 

 J. K. M. L. F;ir(jiili!ir olVorcd the sug- 

 gostioii tliiit tlio iiniiic of the society be 

 C'lianged to tiio Soeiety of Aiiierican 

 Horticulture, arguing that it wmild be 

 ii broiKler and more- c(iiii|prelieiisive titU'. 

 On iiiotiuu the iiresideiit \vas iiistnictcd 

 to a|>|«iiiit a committee of lixc to con- 

 sider the matter and present it to tiie 

 convention at l'iiihtdel|iliia tor action, if 

 a|i|iro\('d, antiiorizing the executive 

 board to tai\e thi' necessary h;gal steps. 

 Tlie ]>resident apptdnteil tlie eommittec 

 as follows: J. K. M. L. Farquhar, W. 

 R. Smith, I\ol)ert ^'raig, Sam Miirrav, 

 Patrick O'Mara. 



'i'his conunitti'e doubth^ss will be 

 iieard from at the convention with a re- 

 jiort giving the society an ojiportunity 

 to (diangc the nam(\, if the majority are 

 in fa\()r of it. It does not follow that 

 a majority of the conmiittee )neml)ers 

 are individually in favor of the change, 

 anil it is doubtful if any considerable 

 jiroportion of the mendiersliiit will en- 

 (h)rse any cliangi^ in the jiresent title. 

 At any rate, oitportunity for deliberate 

 consideration should be given. 



At the Dayton convention the proposi- 

 tion w;is made to (diange the date of the 

 convention to Xovendier, beginidng with 

 I'.tdS, when it is ])roposed to hcdd the 

 national flower show at Chicago. Opin- 

 ion so far as expressed since the l^ay- 

 ton convention has been almost unani- 

 mously against abandoning the .\ugust 

 meeting, and the executive board ap- 

 pears to ha\e recognized this fact in a 

 resolution adojited in I'liiladelphia in 

 Marcii, ))ro\idirig for a two days' ses- 

 sion during the nati(Oial sliow. 



The natiiuial show oi-i;^irially was 

 jdanned as a spring exldbition and the 

 idea of a spiing show has not yet been 

 abamloned l>v those who originatecl tiie 

 idea.
