Nov EM BUR 14, 1918. The Fk>rists'Rcvkw 17 to hold a flower show until the condi- tions became normal again. Then they would be pleased to again extend the G. S. A. an invitation to meet at Pitts- burgh. Your secretary took the matter up with President William W. Vert, who made arrangements with the American Institute for the 1918 meeting and exhi- bition. A second letter to the firms and individuals offering the special prizes brought a responsive sanction for all the prizes to be transferred to the pres- ent exhibition. Your secretary appre- ciates on behalf of the C. S. A. the kind- ness of those whose generosity makes the list of special prizes possible. Membership Campaign. As instructed at the last annual meet- ing, your secretary had 20,000 applica- tion-for-membership forms printed and sent to the leading chrysanthemum growers for insertion in their 1918 cata- logues. So far the gain in new mem- bers has scarcely paid for the outlay. The general outlook for the chrysan- themum is satisfactory. Not for many years has the demand for cut blooms been so heavy as this season. The pom- pons and single varieties are also being called for in larger quantities. The routine work of the secretary's office, consisting of sending out state- ments to the members, recording the varieties disseminated, getting out the report of the sixteenth annual meeting and the solicitation of special premi- ums, was attended to in due season. Your secretary wishes to acknowledge the kindness of Elmer D. Smith in fur- nishing him with a complete list of va- rieties disseminated in 1917, which was a great help in getting up the annual report. The trade papers generously pub- lished all notices sent to them from time to time during the year, for which we owe to them a vote of thanks. CHRYSANTHEMUM SOCIETY, Work of the Committees.

HOWARD M. EARL. FEW men in the seed business are better known to the trade than Howard M. Earl, now associated with F. W. Bolgiano & Co., Washington, D. C. For more than thirty years of his business life Mr. Earl was connected with Burpee, Phila- delphia. When he graduated from the Episcopal Academy in 1886, Mr. Earl se- cured a position with the Burpee organization as an office boy. Later he went into the printing room and worked his way through the different departments in Phila- delphia and the growing end at Fordhook until he became manager of the business, a position he held until about a year ago. Recently Mr. Earl left the Burpee or- ganization and has joined the Bolgiano forces, of which F. W. Bolgiano, president of the American Seed Trade Association, is the head. Mr. Earl has been a mem- ber of the executive committee of the American Seed Trade Association and a director of the Wholesale Seedsmen's League. He is married and has three sons, two of whom now are in France with the American Expeditionary Forces. n. Smith & Co..
