Discussion. 



Mr. Williams: I am sorry Mr. Hooge was not able to be with us 

 today but I am certain unavoidable circumstances detained him. There 

 is lots of information that is very profitable in that paper, for people 

 that have the ground to plant perennials and so forth. Those that 

 wish a copy of it, can procure the same from the secretary of this 

 society at any time or any other paper that is read at this meeting. 



Mr. Henderson: This list of hardy perennials is a very good 

 list. Somebody has suggested to me that we as the State Florist's 

 Society should put out a recommended list for the different sections 

 of Nebraska. We thought the eastern, middle and western sections 

 of Nebraska would be about right. Now there is a good many hardy 

 perennials that will grow better in one part of the state than in the 

 other. They thought that we should get together and have a com- 

 mittee make out a recommended list of these different hardy peren- 

 nials that will do well. This information for the benefit of the public 

 through our books here. This can be taken up laler in the executive 

 committee. 



Mr. Green: T do not think that part of it requires any direct 

 action of this society. It seems to me if the secretary thinks that it 

 Is a good thing, it would be his duty to correspond with the florists of 

 the different parts of the state, and inquire from them what perennials 

 do well in their section, and then compile that in a neat form. 



Mr. Willifim^: Our next and last paper on our program is a 

 paper by W. E. Davidson, Holdrege, Nebraska, on the subject, 

 "Care and Repotting of House Plants: 



Mr. Williams: Mr, Davidson not being present we will have 

 "Life Among the Flowers" by Lewis Henderson, of Omaha. 



LIFE AMONG THE FLOWERS. 



By Lewis Henderson, of Omaha. 



Mr. President, and fellow members of the Nebraska State Florist 

 Society: 



This subject, "Life Among the Flowers" is a subject that ought to 

 have been assigned to Professor Bessey, or some scientific man, in 

 order to do justice to the same. However I will try to say a few words 

 from a florists standpoint. 



Life in its different degrees, is after all, one. Plant life, and
