The Weekly Florists' Review, 



JANOABT 28, 1900. 



Herbert Heller. 



(Member Press Committee for Carnation Convention.) 



1 have been working with, and that is 

 all of you, for we have all worked to- 

 gether or we would not be where we are. 



But a few years ago, as some of you 

 know, I was bumped pretty hard finan- 

 cially, and as the hardest part of the 

 work of this society extends from No- 

 vember 1, with the soliciting of adver- 

 tisements, until sometime in March, 

 with the sending out of the annual re- 

 port, without any intermission, right in 

 my own busy season, it makes too much 

 work for me (work that I could not pos-, 

 sibly have given the attention I did had 

 it not been for the kindly assistance of 

 Mrs. Herr), and feeling that I cannot 

 give this work the attention it should 

 have, I hereby tender my resignation, to 

 take effect at the end of our official year, 

 April 1. 



On motion of E. G. Gillett, the report 

 was accepted, including the resignation, 

 and Mr. Herr was given a rising vote of 

 thanks for his faithful service for four- 

 teen years. 



Nominations. 



The Milwaukee Florists' Club, by let 

 ter, and N. Zweifel orally, asked for the 

 meeting next year, but there was a letter 

 from the Pittsburg club urging that the 

 implied promise of last year be made 

 good and W. A. Clarke called upon Mil- 

 waukee to retire in favor of Pittsburg, 

 as Pittsburg had for Indianapolis. So 

 it will be Pittsburg in 1910 and Mil- 

 waukee in 1911. 



Eugene Dailledouze nominated Fred 

 Burki, of Pittsburg, for president, and 

 William Weber nominated Albert M. 

 Herr. Mr. Burki withdrew. 



Wm. Nicholson nominated Mr. Burki 

 for vice-president.
