A. C. S. SECRETARY'S REPORT. 



[The following Is the report of Secretary A. P. 

 J. Baur, read before the American Carnation 

 .Society, in convention at Detroit, January 10, 

 11 and 12, 1912.] » 



Your secretary would respectfully 

 submit the following report on the past 

 year's work. The last convention hav- 

 ing been held late in March, this re- 

 port in some respects really covers not 

 quite ten months. 



The routine work connected with the 

 office was gotten out in its regular or- 

 der. Getting out the annual report, and 

 collecting the dues, was attended to 

 as is customary. We have made a 

 special effort to collect the annual dues, 

 but, in spite of our efforts, there are 

 many who have not paid their dues for 

 the current year. Out of a membership 

 of 347, sixty-six have failed to pay 

 their dues for 1911. Besides these, there 

 are forty-four who are delinquent for 

 1909 and will be dropped from the roll. 

 Six additional ones have sent in their 

 resignations. Hence our membership, 

 instead of increasing, has decreased 

 during the past year. Forty-four new 

 names were added during the year. 



One of our members was called from 

 our very midst during the year. John 

 Birnie, of Hoboken, N. J., died of 

 heart failure while attending the S. A. 

 F. convention at Baltimore in August. 



The society button is meeting with 

 fair success. Over 100 members have 

 supplied themselves with them. To 

 make it a complete success, every mem- 

 ber should have one and wear it where- 

 ever he goes. 



An invitation was received from the 

 National Conservation Association for 

 this society to send five delegates to
