 events this fall thai the security felt 

 by the horticultural greenhouse men 

 after the new statutes regarding boiler

 vegetable forceis and florists. It was 

 decided to hire counsel and appeal lo 

 the courts to ascertain whether florists 

 and others growing crops under glass 

 come or do not come legally under the 

 general heading o( agriculture. Messrs. 

 Rawson, Moore and .Johnson for the 

 ve.getable forcers and Montgomery and 

 Eliott for the florists were constituted 

 a committee of five to carry out the 

 wishes of the meeting and report at a 

 later date.
