W. N. EuDD, Sec'y. 



December 31, 1908. 



WILLIAM J. VESEY. 



President J. A. Valentine evidently in- 

 tends that the S. A. P. shall steer a 

 straight course during his administra- 

 tion, for one of his appointees as member 

 of the board of directors is a lawyer- 

 florist. Judge William J. Vesey, of Fort 

 Wayne. Judge Vesey confesses to al- 

 ways having been a "flower crank." The 

 family had a small conservatory for many 

 years, and in 1892 the interest had grown 

 to the point where a commercial plant 

 was built. The firm is W. J. & M. S. 

 Vesey, the junior member having orig- 

 inally been taken into partnership when 

 she was Miss Maggie Studebaker, at De- 

 catur, Ind., in 1882. The plant has been 

 extended as its earnings permitted, until 

 now it includes about 150,000 feet of 

 glass. Cut flowers are grown, largely for 

 wholesale, but recently a handsome re- 

 tail store has been opened in Fort Wayne. 

 The supervision of the flower business 

 is largely in the hands of Mrs. Vesey, 

 who last year was president of the La- 

 dies' S. A. F. 



Judge Vesey was bom April 19, 1857, 

 in La Grange county, Indiana. In young 

 manhood he taught school and studied 

 law. In 1878 he was admitted to the 

 bar and in 1899 was appointed judge of 

 the Superior Court. Aside from his law 

 practice, he is a director in several banks 

 and other enterprises at Fort Wayne. 



Judge and Mrs. Vesey have six chil- 

 dren, three sons and three daughters. 

 One of the sons is in the greenhouses, 

 the other two in college. 



EUGENE J. G. DAILLEDOUZE. 



Brooklyn and the surrounding country, 

 comprising the western end of Long 

 Island, have long enjoyed an enviable 

 position in the world of horticulture and 

 floriculture. This is partly due to the 

 fact that this section is convenient to the 

 greatest flower market in the United 

 States, and also to the fact that its 

 population includes some of the most 

 active and successful flower growers in 

 the country. Among this class must be 

 counted the subject of this sketch, a man 

 widely known and highly respected in the 

 trade. 



Mr. Dailledouze was born about 50 



years ago, on the Delmonico farm, an 

 estate located in what is now a very 

 populous section of Brooklyn, and re- 

 moved from there with his parents when 

 about 6 years of age, to Flatbush. Soon 

 after this time his father, John Daille- 

 douze, in company with the late Charles 

 Zeller and Joseph Gard, purchased sev- 

 eral acres of land in Flatbush, formed 

 the firm of Dailledouze, ZeUer & Co. and 

 engaged in the nursery and plant busi- 

 ness, continuing in it for several years. 

 After the dissolution of this firm, the 

 various partners engaged in different 

 branches of the business, and it was in 

 the establishment of his father that Eu- 

 gene Dailledouze was grounded in the 

 habits of close application and hard 

 work that have served him well in his 

 later career. 



After the death of his father, Mr. 

 Dailledouze and his two brothers, Paul 

 and Henry, united in conducting the 

 business for the benefit of the widow^ 

 and when she, too, had passed away, some 

 years later, the three brothers formed the 

 firm of Dailledouze Bros. This arrange- 

 ment continued for fifteen years, and 

 during that period a highly successful 

 business in wholesale cut flower growing 

 was built up, the success of which has 

 proved the value of hard work, econom- 

 ical management and close attention to 

 every detail. 



In July, 1907, Paul and Henry Daille- 

 douze decided to retire from active busi- 

 ness, and since then the business has been 

 conducted by Eugene Dailledouze only,, 

 though keeping the old firm name of 

 Dailledouze Bros. The specialtiel grown 

 in this modem plant of 100,000 square 

 feet of glass are carnations and chrys- 

 anthemums, and it is with these that Mr, 

 Dailledouze has been especially identified 

 for several years. As a past president 

 and life member of the American Carna- 

 tion Society, he is well known to the 

 trade, and as chairman of the New York 

 chrysanthemum committee his judgment 

 is worthy of respect. Mr. Dailledouze is 

 also president of the New York Cut 

 Flower Co., an. office to which he has been 

 reelected for the last five or six years, 

 and is a life member of the Society of 

 American Florists, It will also be an 

 item of pleasant news to his many friends 

 to learn that Mr. Dailledouze has ac- 

 cepted the office of a director in the na- 

 tional society, recently tendered him by 

 President Valentine. 



Mr. Dailledouze has celebrated his sil- 

 ver wedding anniversary, and also has a 

 married son, through whom the family 

 name is perpetuated by means of a 

 grandson, less than a year old. 



THE S. A. F. REPORT. 



Secretary W. N. Eudd celebrated New 

 Year's by mailing, to members, the an- 

 nual volume published by the Society of 

 American Florists. The date was spe- 

 cially appropriate, as it marked the pas- 

 sage of the old administration and the 

 incoming of the new. An omission 

 doubtless due to modesty is that of the 

 portrait of J. A. Valentine, the like- 

 ness of the new president having formed 

 the frontispiece of the report in recent 

 years. 



As usual, the major part of the vol- 

 ume is occupied by the stenographic rec- 

 ord of the annual convention, but new 

 ground is broken in the inclusion of long 

 reports from the society's entomologist^ 

 botanist and pathologist, officers who in 

 the past have contributed little to tha
