The Weekly Florists^ Review*

Trade Press. 



The members of the trade press have 

 continued to give the society their cor- 

 dial support. The thanks of the society 

 are also due them for the complimen- 

 tary copies of their publications sent 

 tor use in the office of the secretary. 



Aid of the Society. 



It should be borne in mind that the 

 S. A. F. is for the good of its members 

 ami that the secretary is its chief clerk. 

 Information regarding express troubles, 

 questions regarding rates, legislation, 

 etc., if sent to the secretary, will be 

 placed in the hands of the proper com- 

 mittees for action. Such data as this 

 will give a firmer working basis in their 

 investigations. The society can best 

 lielp you when your wants are made 

 known. The secretary will always be 

 ready to give all the aid possible or else 

 refer your troubles to others who may 

 be of help to you. 



In closing, I wish to tender my heart- 

 felt thanks to those friends who have 

 given me so freely of their time and 

 assistance and who by their advice have 

 helped make my work both easier and 

 better.
