CLUBS AND SOCIETIES 



NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The May meeting of this club drew 

 out a very large attendance as might 

 be expected directly following the suc- 

 cessful International Flower Show and 

 the widespread interest in tlie propo- 

 sition to follow it up with another 

 spring exhibition next year at the 

 same place. Chairman Totty reported 

 receipts from the show about $32,000 

 and approximate expenditure $30,000, 

 leaving a balance approaching $2,000 

 to be divided between the Exposition 

 Co. and the S. A. F. and then aslied 

 "Do you want a show organized on 

 local lines next year?" This brought 

 the proposition directly to the front 

 and it was discussed thoroughly and 

 at length by many members. Patriclt 

 O'Mara made the principal speech giv- 

 ing in detail the experiences, sweet and 

 bitter, fortunate and unfortunate, of 

 the Club in its past exhibition enter- 

 prises. He urged very careful con- 

 sideration expressing some doubt as 

 to the outlook for proper enthusiasm 

 and advising that the chances for suc- 

 cess would be greatly enhanced by act- 

 ing jointly with the Horticultural So- 

 ciety of New Yorli if that body could 

 be interested in the project. 



Max Schling favored the movement 

 but recommended a date one month ear- 

 lier than this year's show, before socie- 

 ty people have begun to go away. F. H. 

 Traendly expressed great optimism and 

 confidence in the outlooli. He thought 

 too much stress was laid upon the 



question of financial results and that 

 the trade should be glad to pay for the 

 show, as an investment of value to 

 their business. W. A. Manda tool^ the 

 same view as Mr. Traendly and urged 

 that the business men, it every one 

 will do his part, can well afford to put 

 up a show and sink the cost. H. A. 

 Cunyard spoke enthusiastically on 

 same line and said that the amount 

 spent would all come back in due time. 

 J. A. Manda maintained that the show- 

 can be made a success if run properly 

 and asserted that it would be both 

 selfish and foolish for the Club to at- 

 tempt to get public support for a 

 club affair. The Horticultural Socie- 

 ty is strong enough to assume it and 

 has the ear of the right people and 

 this, he believed, is the right solution 

 of the problem. It was stated by Mr. 

 Traendly that the Madison Sq. Garden 

 people are in the field with a show 

 proposition and asked that they be 

 given consideration. 



J. H. Pepper made a motion that a 

 committee to consist of the local gov- 

 erning board together with Mr. Manda, 

 and Mr. Totty as chairman be ap- 

 pointed with power to confer with the 

 various parties interested and decide 

 upon dates, etc., and the motion was 

 carried by a nearly unanimous vote. 

 So it looks quite promising for a big 

 show in New York next year. 



C. B. Weathered for the permanent 

 badge committee submitted a design 

 for a gold button which was adopted. 

 H. A. Bunyard, for the transportation 



committee, reported progress. Phil. 

 Kessler for the outing committee, 

 promised an affair even more enjoyable 

 than any hitherto. Patrick O'Mara, on 

 behalf of the legislative committee, re- 

 ported a very hopeful outlook for the 

 plan to provide a $60,000 greenhouse 

 rutfit for Cornell. A communication 

 from the Cook County Florists' Associ- 

 ation asking the club to go on their 

 special train from Chicago to Minne- 

 apolis next August was turned over 

 to Chairman Bunyard. 



Richard Vincent, Jr., of White 

 Marsh, Md., was an interested and in- 

 teresting visitor. He spoke enthusias- 

 tically on the subject of "afliliation" 

 and referred briefly to the unsettled 

 items in tariff classification in the bill 

 iiow before Congress. 



CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The Chicago Florists' Club held its 

 regular meeting, Thursday, May 8th. 

 at the Union Restaurant. A number 

 of appeals from flood and storm suf- 

 ferers were read, but no definite list 

 of their requirements accompanied 

 same. .-Arrangements were made to 

 take care of them when the necessary 

 information is received. The club has 

 also taken up the question of trans- 

 porting such stock as may be given 

 tor the victims, with the express com- 

 pany, free of charge. Everyone is in- 

 terested in this work and spoke higli- 

 ly of the practical way the club is 

 handling this proposition. 



The special committee appointed to
