The Business Meeting. 



Howard M. Earl had some difficulty 

 in crathoring the clans for business, so 

 interesting was the renewal of old 

 friendships and the exhibition. There 

 was ;t good attendance of members and 

 those interested when Kobert Craig made 

 the address of welcome in his usual 

 happy style. Harry Turner, of Youk- 

 ers, N. Y., resj^nded on behalf of the 

 society. Vice-president Sim occupied 

 the chair in the absence of President 

 Burpee, who was on the ocean. Secre- 

 tary Bunyard read the following letter 

 from Mr. Burpee: 



Will you kindly express to our fellow members 

 of the National Sweet Pea Sooiet.v of America 

 my sincere rejirets that instead of being present 

 to deliver the president's address, I am compelled 

 to offer an npolojty and explanation. 



The aiiology will surely be accepted wben 

 yon offer the exiilaiiation that it was only after 

 our .Mareli meeting in Boston, when the date 

 of the Philadelphia exhibition was fixed for 

 JiHie L'.'! and 24. that I enRaged passage for 

 myself. Mrs. 15iirpee and sons on the Olympic 

 June I'S. so that we could attend the Exhibition 

 of the National Sweet Pea Society of England, 

 which we were compelled to miss last year. 



Kindly explain also how deeply I regretted the 

 necessity for deciding witli you and other fellow 

 members, after conference two weeks ago with 

 members of the Pennsylvania Ilorticnitural So- 

 ciety, that, owing to the lateness of the season, 

 it would be necessary to postpone our exhibition 

 at least a week. 



While on the "briny deep," I shall be with you
