SECBETABY'S BEPOBT. 



[The following is the report of John Young,

 cago Convention, August 21, 1912.] 



The books and other properties per- 

 taining to the secretary's oflSce were 

 turned over by the outgoing secretary 

 early in January. The books were all 

 in good order and accompanied by an 

 inventory covering the property of the 

 society that is in the possession "of the 

 secretary.

Since January 1, 1912, to August 15,

 members and 31 life members. 



Since January 1, 1912, the following

 Telegraph Delivery, August Poehlmann, 

 J. G. Esler. G. W. Bartholomew, C. A. 

 Moss, W. F. Kasting, J. A. Evans, H. 

 G. Berning, J. E. Matthewson, N. Zwei- 

 fel, J. F. Amman, A. T. Pyfer, J. R. 

 Bather, W. N. Rudd, J. F. Huss, A. L. 

 Miller, Vaughan 's Seed Store, I. Berter- 

 mann, 1 each. 



Since the last convention the follow- 

 ing members have died: E. A. Mosely, 

 I, L. Powell, Fred Ehret, C. A. Juengel, 

 J. Lflbo, J. Pettigrew, J. F. Wilcox, J. 



R. Freeman, W. H. Moon, Frank 

 Piorkovski, Wm. Bester, Charles Knopf 

 and W. R. Smith, ex-president and 

 father of the charter of the society. 

 Following the recommendations of 

 the board of directors, a circular letter 

 was sent to each name in the florists' 

 directory, setting forth the advantages 

 of being a member of this society. With 

 Ihis letter was enclosed a copy of the 

 official program of this meeting and an 

 invitation from the Chicago Trades 

 Committee to attend this convention; 

 also an application blank, and gratify- 

 ing results are being shown. 



Trade Exhibition. 



The trade exhibition held at the time 

 of the convention is growing in im- 

 portance each year. At Baltimore the 

 receipts of the trade • exhibition man- 

 aged by Mark Richmond were $3,808.05 

 and the expenditures .$1,550.31, the net 

 ])roceeds turned into the permanen| 

 fund of the societv being $2,258.19. 



The present trade exhibition has surl 

 passed anythinc; of the kind ever at- 

 tempted, and the net proceeds should 

 almost double those of the Baltimore 

 convention. It will be well for the 

 members to pause and think of the 

 varied interests and high quality of 

 the exhibits in the main hall. The sec- 

 retary finds that much of the printed 

 matter and material purchased for use 

 at this exhibition can be saved and 

 used again next year. Without ques- 

 tion, many economies can be practiced 

 for the next convention. 



Application for rates was made to all 

 the passenger associations and refused. 

 They will pay no attention to such re- 

 quests unless an attendance of 1,000 is 

 guaranteed.
