RICHMOND, IND. 



The Richmond Florists" Club was or- 

 ganized at a well-attended meeting No- 

 vember 1, with officers as follows: Fred 

 Lemon, president; George Fulle, vice- 

 president ; H. C. Chessman, secretary ; 

 John A. Evans, treasurer. A committee 

 consisting of G. R. Gause, J. M. Gift 

 and Vernon Grave was appointed to 

 draft a constitution and by-laws and to 

 report same at the next meeting, to be 

 held November 15. 



The club starts under very favorable 

 auspices and it is believed it will accom- 

 plish much good. E. G. Hill was present 

 and made some good suggestions, but 

 declined to accept any office. All eyes 

 are upon our venerable treasurer, upon 

 whom honors have been showered thick 

 and fast recently. H. C. C.
