President's Reception. 



The president's reception on Tuesday 

 evening, at the Broad Street theater, was 

 a most enjoyable occasion. President 

 SteWkrt was assisted, in the formal greet- 

 ing of the large assembly, by Mr. and 

 Mrs. Hauswirlh, Mr. and Mrs. H. B. 

 Beatty, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Kasting, W. 

 B. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Craig and 

 J. D. Carmody. The big theater was 

 filled to the doors with members and 

 guests. The Philadelphia Club provided 



an elaborate vaudeville entertainment, 

 followed by a delicious luncheon, and the 

 reception was one of the most successful 

 of its kind in the annals of the S. A. F. 



, Wednesday's Proceedings. 



There was considerable increase in at- 

 tendance Wednesday and old members 

 estimated that the total number present, 

 including those from near-by towns in 

 Pennsylvania and New Jersey, was the 

 greatest in the history of the society. As 

 on the opening day, the handsomely dec- 

 orated Broad Street theater was well 

 filled after Sergeant-at-Arms Bunyard 

 had used his persuasive and coercive 

 powers to clear the exhibition hall. The 

 first order of business was the presenta- 

 tion of a paper on "Boxing Plants," 

 written by Alois Frey, of Chicago, and 

 read by Wilfrid Wheeler, of Concord, 

 Mass; This was followed by a paper on 

 "Shrubs and Evergreens," by S. C. 

 Moon, of Morrisville, Pa. Each was ex- 

 cellent, and after considerable discus- 

 sion on handling evergreens, both essays 

 were given votes of thanks. 



R. Vincent, Jr., George A. Kuhl and 

 John G. rosier were appointed as the 

 committee to consider the state vice- 

 presidents' reports. 



The selection of a place for next year's 

 meeting being in order, ex-Mayor Cutler, 

 of Niagara Falls, again extended an in- 

 vitation in behalf of his city. W. F, 

 Kasting, on behalf of the Buffalo flo- 

 rists, seconded Mr. Cutler's invitation. 

 Philip Breitmeyer, on behalf of the De- 

 troit Florists' Club, extended an invita- 

 tion to Detroit, and August Poehlmann, 

 for the Chicago Florists' Club, invited 

 the society to Chicago, but said that he 

 did so with the full consciousness that
