SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, NOTES. 

 The Florists' Club. 



The Springfield Florists' Club held a 

 social session on the evening of Jan. 

 10, to which every florist in the vicin- 

 ity, not a member of the club, was 

 invited as a guest. 



The affair was a most enjoyable and 

 profltable one for all who attended; 

 tables were set in the packing house 

 of the Highland Floral Co.. hand- 

 somely decorated with potted plants 

 by that enterprising firm, and heavily 

 loaded with all the things that go to 

 make up a good, square meal for a 

 hungry man. 



Dinner was announced at 6.30 and 

 about 35 members and guests "drew up 

 and fell to," giving hearty approval to 

 the menu prepared and served by the 

 club's excellent standing committee on 

 refreshments. 



After the tables had been cleared and 

 cigars passed, opportunity was given 

 for expression of views, more especial- 

 ly concerning the interests of the local 

 florists, and some points were sug- 

 gested from which good results are ex- 

 pected. 



The contemplated flower show to be 

 held here next fall came in for full 

 share of discussion; a creditable show- 

 ing will no doubt be made when the 

 time comes. 



Trade and Personal News. 



All the mail order houses here are 

 busy mailing their catalogues, about 

 a million of the books being now ready 

 for distribution; the "Blue Rose" is 

 the prominent feature of several of the 

 lithographed covers. The general feel- 

 ing is that an increased trade will be 

 enjoj'ed the coming season and large 

 preparation is being made for it. 



The Schmidt & Botley Co. have just 

 completed a commodious cold storage 

 house, and will be in fine shape to 

 care for their large bulk of dormant 

 stock. 



The Fairview Floral Co., under Its 

 new management, have issued a hand- 

 some 100-page catalogue with litho- 

 graphed cover, and will make a strong 

 bid for a share of spring business. 



Club President Murphey and John M. 

 Good are both confined to their homes 

 with illness and have the sincere wish 

 of all for speedy recovery. 



Ed. George, of Painesville. O.. and 

 C. Betcher, of Canal Dover. O.. were 

 recent visitors. GEO. H. MELLEN. 



A FERTILIZER APPROVED. 



The unqualified endorsement of a 

 house of the standing of Poehlmann 

 Bros, invests the advertisement of 

 Evergreen Fertilizer on page 134 of this 

 issue with especial interest and con- 

 vincing strength. The fertilizer ques- 

 tion is one of the most vital with 

 which the cultivator has to contend 

 and if the D. D. Johnson Co.'s products 

 are what the Chicago florists' testi- 

 monials lead us to believe, they will 



find plenty of good business coming 

 their way. 



Mr. Johnson, who is a young man of 

 ability, spent most of his time last 

 year giving tests of his fertilizer 

 through Michigan, using it upon celery 

 and other market garden crops with 

 much success, and this year he Is 

 pushing the floricultural end of the 

 business.
