The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



2? 



cers there was a great flow of eulogistic 

 oratory. For president W. F. Kasting 

 nominated Frank H. Traendly, of New 

 York, and J. C. Vaughan nominated J. 

 E. Freeman, of Washington. For vice- 

 president Benjamin Hammond nominated 

 W. W. Cutler, of Niagara Falls, N. Y., 

 and W. F. Kasting nominated George 

 McClure, of Buif alo, N.Y. For secretary 

 Mr. Kasting nominated P. J. Hauswirth, 

 of Chicago. For treasurer John Westcott 

 nominated H, B. Beatty, of Pittsburg. 

 There were several seconds in each case. 



Chang;e in Name. 



The motion to petition congress to 

 amend the name of the society was the 

 first order of business Thursday. The 

 debate occupied two hours and brought 

 out widely divergent views, and Presi- 

 dent Stewart 's knowledge of parliamen- 

 tary practice was all that made it pos- 

 sible to get a final decision. In the 

 end Mr. Pierson's amendment to strike 

 out the one word "ornamental" from 

 the present title was concurred in by a 

 . vote of eighty-seven to sixteen. After 

 congress amends the national charter 

 the title will be Society of American 

 Florists and Horticulturists. 



Thursday'* Proceediogs. 



Telegrams of condolence were ordered 

 sent to ex-Presidents William Scott and 

 M. H. Norton, who are ill. 



E. V. Hallock's paper on bulbous 

 plants was read and drew out many 

 questions. 



David Bust presented his report as 

 supreme tenderer of the trades display, 

 enumerating the exhibitors. 



A committee consisting of James 

 Dean, J. K. M. L. Farquhar and H. B. 

 Howard was appointed on final resolu- 

 tions. 



The balance of the session was filled 

 by discussion of the school garden move- 

 ment, introduced by papers by E. V. 

 Hallock and W. B. DuRie.

In the .election 310 votes were cast. 

 For president, F. H. Traendly received 

 163 and J. R. Freeman 147.

Secretary Hauswirth and Treasurer 

 Beatty were reelected without opposi- 

 tion. 



Afternoon was given over to the 

 ladies' entertainment at Willow Grove 

 and to the boating contests. 



Those Present. 



With so large an attendance, and par- 

 ticularly with a convention held where 

 so many were but a short distance from 

 their homes and ran in only for the day, 

 it is impossible to gather a complete list 

 of those present. Among those named 

 below many were accompanied by their 

 wives. The Philadelphians are not in- 

 cluded, for all were on hand:
