. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 496 The American Florist. Sept. 2S, nition and awards, which would never have been given them or even have been considered, had not such a general com- mittee been in existence. The need for fair consideration of horticultural interests at the national exhibitions is well known to everyone who has marked the very apparent er- rors in buildings, in classifications, and in premiums at many of them, and cer- tain it is that horticulture in its broad- est sense has not been rightfully con- sidered at these exhibitions, and never will be until our interests act together as they can do through the representa- tives they now have in the National Council of Horticulture, by regularly elected delegates, and by the co-opera- tion which this brings about. Because of the few actual workers available in its ranks the difficulty of frequent meet- ings because of the widespread locations of its members, and its lack of funds for traveling expenses, the council has not taken up actively other lines of its , work above mentioned, but it must be done, and the growth of the council and the willingness of its membership to contribute funds, prove" that ifs^further' work will surely be taken care of in the reasonably near future. ; As soon as more frequent meetings c^n be had and a fair attendance be ?^counted on, the broader questions of no- menclature and international co-opera- tion on similar lines will be in order. It is not, and has never been, the ob- ject of the horticultural council to take up any work whicli up to the present time is the exclusive work of any single national interest, but to act only as a representative body of these various in- terests on lines which are common to, them all and which no one can claim the right or privilege to take up and do for the others. For instance the organiza- tion of a national congress of horticul- ture would hardly be the duty of the National Apple
