The Weekly Florists' Review^

necessity of these societies and of their 

 being able to better carry out their 

 apecific work than can be done in our 

 general meetings. They do not conflict, 

 but .assist, and every organization per- 

 taining to horticulture, whether a florists ' 

 club, horticultural society, gardeners' as- 

 sociation or any other specific in its 

 character, formed to promote its own in- 

 terests, and at the same time the interests 

 of horticulture, should have the encour- 

 agement and support of our society. 

 Perhaps some plan could be developed 

 whereby each one of these organizations, 

 when they could show a certain number 

 of their membership in our society, would 

 be entitled to a representation on our 

 board of directors. This would help make 

 our board representative of all interests 

 and be an inducement for them to get 

 their members into the national organi- 

 zation, thus materially increasing our 

 membership. 



The Outlook. 



The last year has been one upon which 

 we can look back with much satisfaction, 

 for while business in a great many other 

 lines has not been up to standard and 

 a great feeling of unrest has prevailed 

 among some of them, we, generally speak- 

 ing, have no complaint and the outlook 

 for a continuance is most promising. 

 There have been fears of overproduction 

 among the conservative, but this has not 

 developed, and these fears must have 

 passed away, judging from the large 

 number of buildings being erected or 

 contracted for at present. Some of the 

 building concerns say that this year prom- 

 ises to be the heaviest in their history. 



In conclusion, I wish to state that I 

 have refrained from touching on many 

 subjects of importance to the society, 

 but they are in the hands of carefully 

 selected committees, whose familiarity 

 with their work will give to you far 

 better recommendations than I could, and 

 their reports will be presented in due 

 time at this convention.
