Chairman’s Message
Dear Industry Friends,
It is a real pleasure to introduce AFE’s 50th Anniversary Program.
Fifty years ago, the Society of American Florists Endowment (now the American
Floral Endowment - after several name changes) was incorporated under the laws
of the District of Columbia.
In 1961, the late Charles Pennock of The Pennock Company in Philadelphia,
conceived an idea of establishing an industry-wide research and educational
endowment. Because of his foresight, the Endowment has grown to what it has
become today.
After AFE’s first 25 years, the Endowment’s Corpus topped $3 million. Since then,
and over the last 25 years, with the help of the industry and industry friends,
we are pleased to report that the AFE Corpus has grown to over $12 million.
Research funding since AFE’s inception has reached more than $14 million, and
close to $500,000 has been provided in scholarships to attract and retain future
industry leaders.
As you look through AFE’s 50th Anniversary Program, I hope you will gain a
greater understanding of the far-reaching impact of your contributions. During
these especially difficult times, it’s more important than ever to support the
needs of our industry as a whole.
On behalf of the AFE Board of Trustees and the entire floral industry, I wish to
thank all of our AFE supporters who are listed in this program. Your gifts help the
Endowment fund the scientific research, scholarships, educational grants, and
public benefits research, which are so vital to the industry.
Thank you for your continued investment in the future of floral commerce and
the people who participate in it.
Sincerely,
Harrison “Red” Kennicott
Chairman, American Floral Endowment

F
or 50 years, the Endowment has funded Production and PostHarvest Scientific Research Projects. This research provides
essential knowledge for a growing and dynamic floricultural
industry.
The complex and diverse structure of the industry makes it
difficult for single entities or individuals to support highly
comprehensive research programs. The Endowment, however,
allows all industry representatives regardless of size to contribute
and assure continuous industry-related research and, thus,
maintain a strong, vibrant floriculture industry.
Who benefits from a strong floral industry?
The answer is simple – Everyone!
The primary research priorities are listed below. They are focused
on all floricultural crops – bedding plants, fresh cut flowers, fresh
cut greens, flowering potted plants, and foliage plants.
Primary Production and Post-Harvest Research Priorities:
3. Management Systems for Insects Affecting Floriculture Crops
4. Management Protocols for Floriculture Crops

American Floral Endowment • 50th Anniversary Program • September 2010
AFE Funded Research & Scholarships
Public Benefits Research
In addition to funding scientific
research, the Endowment also
funds Public Benefits Research.
Both avenues of research are
needed for a strong and healthy
industry.
Although continual
improvements in floricultural
crop quality, yield, and
longevity can be made, these
factors alone will not guarantee
that the products will enhance
the lives of consumers. Due to the scale and complexity of the
industry, very few firms can afford to conduct meaningful Public
Benefits Research. Consequently, the Endowment enables the
industry to conduct research on the impact of floral products and
services on people and the environment to discover information
that can enhance the public’s experience with these products and
services, and that the industry can use to better meet the market’s
needs.
What types of Public Benefits Research are required to ensure
that the floral industry thrives and meets the expectations of all
its segments and consumers? Just as with Scientific Research,
the answer is not simple and the needs change over time. The
AFE Board of Trustees fully understands this challenge. Before
yearly funding decisions are made, they receive input from many
industry and scientific sources. Thus, industry needs and research
projects drive the funding process.
Priority Areas for Research Proposals
The basic research priorities are listed below. They are focused on
all floricultural crops – bedding plants, fresh cut flowers, fresh cut
greens, flowering potted plants, and foliage plants.
The Basic Research Priorities are:
1. Impact on the giver and receiver, floral relative to other gifts
2. Perceptions of floral/plant gifts versus alternatives
3. Influence of floral products on an individual’s physical or
emotional health
4. Influence of floral products on social interaction
5. Impact of floral products on the environment (e.g., improved
air quality, removal of chemical runoff )
6. Determinants of satisfaction with a floral/plant purchase
7. Motives and barriers for utilization of floral products
Paul Ecke Jr. MS/PhD Scholarship
This merit-based,
prestigious scholarship
has been funded by
contributions to AFE
from the floral industry
and other sources. The
Scholarship honors the
late Mr. Paul Ecke, Jr.
of Encinitas, Calif. who
made indispensable
contributions to the
advancement of the
global floriculture
industry. Among his
many interests was
concern for the future of
floriculture, as influenced by innovative research and educational
programs. He recognized that creative scientists and educators are
required to lead the floral industry in the 21st century and beyond.
Thus, the primary objective of the Paul Ecke Jr. Scholarship is to
assist in funding the education of graduate students (MS or PhD)
who will become leading floricultural scientists and educators.
AFE Floriculture Scholarships
In 2006, the Floriculture Industry Research and Scholarship Trust
(FIRST) merged with the AFE. FIRST was known for funding a
wide range of research projects, and administering a variety of
scholarship funds named and designated for the full spectrum of
floriculture interests.
Since then, AFE has continued to administer and award
scholarships to students entering the floriculture/horticulture
industry. Today, there are 21 active scholarships under this
program which are awarded each year. Individual scholarships
range from $200 - $3,500 each. For more information about the
scholarships, visit www.endowment.org.
AFE Internships & Scholarships
The Endowment supports educational programs focused
on attracting young people to the industry, and educational
endeavors to identify and solve industry needs and/or challenges.
AFE offers floriculture scholarship and paid internship scholarship
programs to assist students interested in the floriculture/
horticulture profession.

AFE Funded Scholarships & Grants
The Vic and Margaret Ball Intern
Scholarship
Educational Grants – Building A Stronger
Floriculture Industry
In 1992, Vic &
Margaret Ball
established a
floriculture internship
program with a major
gift to the AFE. Their
desire was to attract
students to floriculture
and make meaningful
work experience in
production part of a
complete education.
The AFE Education Committee annually reviews and approves
funding for educational programs to promote the floriculture
industry. The majority of programs focus on attracting young
people to the industry or educational endeavors to identify and
solve industry needs and/or challenges.
Vic and Margaret Ball
Vic and Margaret Ball’s interest in student training stems from
their close involvement with the DuPage Horticultural School, for
which they provided leadership and direction. Having observed
first-hand the educational value of work-study, which served as a
cornerstone of that highly respected program, they established
the Internship Program to assure continuance of practical experience opportunities. In the words of the late Vic Ball, “We want
to impress upon students the importance of hands-on growing
experience and provide a chance to incorporate this too often
missing link in an otherwise excellent training program.”
Internships are available for a period of six, four, or three months.
Mosmiller Intern Scholarship
Named in honor of the
Colonel and Mrs. Walter E.
Mosmiller, Jr., this scholarship is geared toward
business students planning
careers in the floral industry
focused on a retail/wholesale experience. Students
receive paid training for 1012 weeks, and a $2,000 scholarship upon successful completion.
Colonel Mosmiller, a past chairman of the Endowment and a
former retail florist in Richmond, Virginia, demonstrated a strong,
lifelong interest in professional training and encouraged young
people to pursue careers in the floral industry. The Endowment
established this program to honor the Mosmillers and express a
meaningful extension of their industry dedication.

Educational Grants must provide a benefit to a broad geographic
area (preferably national in scope), and for a broad industry
constituency within the United States. AFE has supported many
organizations throughout our history including the FFA, the National Floriculture Forum, the SAF Pest Management Conference,
National FFA Foundation, and America In Bloom, to name a few.
AFE is committed to the education of the future leaders of the
floriculture industry.
James & Helen Phillip Scholarship Grant
The James and Helen Phillip Scholarship Fund was established
to honor James and Helen Phillip by providing scholarship
assistance to students in need who are interested in careers in the
retail sector of the floral industry. The Fund was established by a
$500,000 donation by their daughter, Lee Phillip Bell in 2008.
This scholarship
provides grants
to institutions
to distribute to
students primarily
in the Great Lakes
region, however,
they also will be
available to worthy
applicants from
elsewhere in the
country.
