Winfried Eolker, Henry Schmidt and Clifford Ijowther were elected to mem- bership and each made an interesting address of loyalty and good intent. Mr. Bauraann also pledged his cooperation. Besolutions on the deaths of Wm. Tricker and W. F. Kasting were read • by Messrs. Knight and Young. A let- ter of sympathy was sent to Arthur Herrington, because of the death of his mother. Charles B. Weathered announced the signing of a three years' contract with the Grand Central Palace Co. for the International Flower Shows. E. Allan Peirce, of Waltham, Mass., and Julius Winkler, of Hackensack, N. J., were nominated for membership. A. L. Miller, vice-president of the S. A. F., said that after Christmas things will begin to hum in behalf of the 1917 convention and J. G. Esler gave a brief address on the last conven- tion, especially commending the hospi- tality of the New Orleans florists. The exhibits were exceptionally good. C. H. Totty showed a vase of the enor- mous new mum, October King, which received eighty-five points for commer- cial merit and eighty-eight for exhibi- tion. Mr. Totty also showed a vase of fifteen of the French varieties from Nonin, of Paris, whom Mr. Totty repre- sents in America. Marigold and Cran- ford
