ASSOCIATION OF GABDENEBS. 



The national cooperative committee, 

 appointed at the meeting of the National 

 Association of Gardeners held in Phila- 

 delphia in April, 1914, to devise ways 

 and means to malce the proposed cooper- 

 ative movement between the national 

 association and local gardeners' clubs 

 and societies operative, submits to the 

 local cooperative committees, appointed 

 to work in conjunction with the national 

 <:ooperative committee, the prime objects 

 of the movement, which are as follows: 



To establish gardening as a profession on a 

 more Arm foundation in America. 



To develop a closer fraternity between those 

 «ngaged in the profession of gardening and those 

 interested In It. 



To malce linown that the vocation of gardening 

 is not acquired through one or two seasons of 

 work in the garden, but through a thorough 

 training, which demands both a practical and 

 •clentiflc Isnowledge gained only through years 

 of study. . .^ .. ^,_ 



To provide an educational course whereby those 

 ambitious to gain a general Icnowledge of the 

 different departments of their profession, and 

 not in circumstances to secure it at college, may 

 obtain it throu^ their national association. 



To malce the service bureau of the National 



Association of Gardeners an institution to which 



those requiring the service of gardeners in 



their various capacities will turn with confidence 



■ fdt their requirements. 



To encourage an exchange of views and the dis- 

 seminating of reports of the doings and activi- 

 ties of the various local societies, whereby the 

 experience of one society may aid In the devel- 

 opment of the other societies. 



To bring about more uniform conditions to gov- 

 ern flower shows, through the adoption of rules 

 and regulations and an official scale of points 

 for Judging flowers, fruits and vegetables by the 

 various horticultural societies; which could be 

 applied to all shows conducted by clubs and so- 

 cieties participating In the cooperative move- 

 ment. . 



To arouse the Interest of estate owners, and 

 others Interested in gardening, in the activities 

 of the local societies and the national associa- 

 tion. 



The foregoing are a few suggestions 

 of what the plan contemplates. The 

 national committee recommends that the 

 local committees submit these sugges- 

 tions as a subject for general discussion 

 at a meeting of their society, with a 

 view of bringing out some thoughts 

 which may aid the cause. It especially 

 solicits suggestions and expressions of 

 sentiment respecting the proposed estab- 

 lishment of flower shows on a uniform 

 basis by the adoption of standard rules 

 and regulations and a schedule of points 

 for judging, to govern them. 



It seeks advice on the establishment 

 of an educational department for the 

 benefit of those who may want to avail 

 themselves of study courses, and sng- 

 gestions on how the service bureau may 

 be conducted to provide opportunities 

 for the many rather than for the few. 

 It should be national in scope, yet local 

 in operation, in that the local societies 

 shall have a voice in the filling of posi- 

 tions in their communities. 



The national committee asks that the 

 local cooperative committees report to 

 it any recommendations their societies 

 may have to offer; also any suggestions 

 the local committees may deem will fur- 

 ther the movement. Make such reports 

 not later than the middle of November 

 to M. C. Ebel, secretary, Madison, N. J.,
