meeting, a commitlte of seven members, to be

 rhan two nominees to be named for each office,

A letter was read from S. S. Butter- 

 field, from Atoka, Okla., resigning active 

 membership and thanking the club for 

 the farewell dinner and presentation. At 

 his request the club made him an asso- 

 ciate member. 



A letter from H. A. Bunyard, who is in 

 the west, was read, thanking the club 

 members for their loyal support in his 

 contest for the secretaryship of the S. A. 

 F., and announcing a good surplus as a 

 result of the club's summer outing. 



After the house committee had enter- 

 tained the club with the usual inspira- 

 tions, the president-elect of the S. A. F. 

 was called upon for an address. Mr. 

 Pierson said New York was the best 

 represented state at the convention, which 

 he characterized as one of the most suc- 

 cessful ever held, giving much of the 

 credit to President Valentine. He asked 

 the support of the New York Florists' 

 iJlub in his work and predicted the con- 

 vention at Rochester would be the banner 

 one of the society's history. Mr. Pier- 

 son is the sixth member of this club to 

 be elected president of the national so- 

 ciety. He pleaded for the aflBliation and 

 binding together of all the organizations, 

 to be cemented in one great union. The 

 psychological moment, he thought, is 

 here; the time for concentration ripe and 

 some practical way must be devised for 

 amalgamation. The society, he said, had 

 a charter to be proud of and that it 

 should do more for the trade in general. 

 He spoke of the social value of the an- 

 nual meetings and the friendships formed 

 as suflScient justification for its existence, 

 apart from the business help it material- 

 ized. He thought it wise to hold an ex- 

 hibition at the time of the convention and 

 so interest the general public. A big 

 plant show was suggested, with the offei 

 of premiums, etc. He welcomed practical 

 suggestions from all and pledged himself 

 to an active year, asserting that in the 

 multitude of counselors there is wisdom.

It was a stirring address, ringing with 

 ambition and sincerity. 



F. H. Traendly referred to the honor 

 that had come to the club in Mr. Pier- 

 son 's election and regretted the secretary- 

 ship of the society had escaped New 

 York. He spoke of the national flower 

 show to be held in Boston in the spring 

 of 1911 and hoped for its success and the 

 amalgamation of the various societies, 

 suggesting that the rose and carnation 

 societies take the initiative and hold a 

 joint meeting in the early spring of 1910, 



Patrick O'Mara was also intensely 

 gratified because of Mr. Pierson 's elec- 



tion and said if it had not been for his 

 innate modesty and diflSdence be would 

 have been elected years before. He gp6ke 

 of Mr, Pierson 's ripening for the posi- 

 tion during his twenty-five years of mem- 

 bership and of the task before him in 

 the unifying of the societies, no one 

 being better fitted for the work, the time 

 being ripe for the S. 'A. F. and the sepa- 

 rate societies to get together. He sug- 

 gested various ways of making the ses- 

 sions of the S. A, F, better attended and 

 80 putting it on a better foundation, 

 avoiding the discouragement of small au- 

 diences and anything tending to lessen
