The Weekly Florists' Review, 



KANSAS QTY. MO. 



A Meeting. 

 In Older to give the lloiists an op- 

 portunity to moot UikI.- ,lolin Tliorpo, 



and to lli-ru-s ll,««rl- :-lln« liiatlcr.-, a 



had bi'cn lueiivnl and piunpLcls wuic 

 favorable for raising $l,oOU more in 

 the next two weeks. Communications 

 and inquiries from prospective exhibit- 

 ors were then read and acted upon. 



Uncle John was asked to describe the 

 most interesting features of the Chicago 

 shows and to make a report on the 

 progress resulting from his trip east. 

 He was then given instriutions to go 

 and invade Indiana and Illinois tor ad- 

 ditional exhibits, and will not return 

 here until Nov. 10. 



The plans for fitting the immense hall 

 for the exhibition as formulated by Mr. 

 Taggart and Mr. Thorpe and the novel- 

 ties they propose to introduce, all of 

 which was approved by the florists as 

 being in perfect harmony with a floral 

 display, were next brought before the 

 meeting. If these new features are car- 

 ried out according to the present plans 

 Convention Hall will on Nov. 18 be a 

 veritable fairy land. 



Mr. Geo. Kessler, our able park super- 

 intendent, very generously consented to 

 assist the management in arranging the 

 architectural effects. 



Mr. Albert Barbe gave $25 to be add- 

 ed to the window decorating prize 

 money. 



Out of town florists are asking who 

 is "the director general ?" Mr. Taggart 

 is a member of the firm of the Nebraska 

 Clothing Co. and is rigidly a business 

 man. He has the snap, the vim, and 

 the magnetism and is persistent in all 

 his undertakings. When he announces 

 to the public that something more is 

 needed in order to make his scheme a 

 success he usually gets it. Mr. Tag- 

 gart admonished us for not working to- 

 gether more harmoniously and urged 

 the florists to organize a florists' club at 



Visitors. 



Kansas City sheltered thousands of 

 visitors last week. The attractions 

 were a horse show and a cattle show. 

 The horse show was held in Convention 

 Hall and drew an attendance of 00,000 

 people. Surely there are as many ad- 

 mirers of finricnlture as there are of 

 fine animals. Now, with finances plen- 

 ty, and with brains and energy pushing 

 the flower show, failure seems impos- 

 sible. 



Arnold Ringier. of Chicago, and Al- 

 fred Broman, of Independence, Mo,, 

 were visitors here last week.
