The books of the secretary and treasurer were audited by a public ac- countant and found correct, the a,udi- tor's report being submitted along with these reports. A complete list of our members was submitted to the Society of American Florists, who reported that of our members are also members in that so- ciety, entitling- us to representation on their executive board.
