The winter meeliii,:; of the New York 

 Ketleriillon of Uortlcultiinil Societies 

 and Floral Clubs was helii in Ithaca 

 In connection with Farmers' Week. 

 Febrnary 12, 1918. The lectures were 

 much better attended than had been 

 anticipated and twenty-seven delegates 

 were present from the New York 

 Florists' Club, Buffalo FlorisLs' Club, 

 Rochester Florists' Club. Syracuse 

 Rose Society. Syracuse Florists' Asso- 

 ciation, New York & Now Jersey Plant 

 Growers' Association. UinRhamton 

 Florists' Association. 



At 9 a. ni. C. b. Thayer, instru*- 

 tor in floriculture, gave an illustrated 

 lecture on "Some Herbaceous Peren- 

 nials of Commercial Value." He was 

 followed by Dr. A. C. Deal on 'What 

 Research Can do for the Florist." Dr. 

 Beal reviewed in a general way, the 

 work which the experiment stations 

 have already done and outlined those 

 types of commercial work wliich he 

 considered to be of the most import- 

 ance to the commercial florist. Dr. L. 

 M. Massey was prevented because of 

 illness from giving his paper on "Di- 

 seases of Roses;" Dr. Donald Reddick 

 of the Department of Plant Pathology 

 spoke for Dr. Massey. Professor F. W. 

 Morse of Amherst, Mass., who was to 

 have lectured, was also prevented from 

 being present and Professor E. 0. Fip- 

 pin of the Department of Soils gave a 

 very valuable talk on "Soils for Green- 

 house Crops." 



At 1 p. m. a luncheon at the Clinton 

 House was given the delegates by the 

 Department of Floriculture and proved 

 a most enjoyable occasion. 



At 3 p. m. a round table discussion 

 was held on the subject of "How the 

 Agricultural College can best serve:" 



(a) The Cut Flower specialist — 



Robt. Simpson, Clifton, N. J. 



(b) The Plant specialist — Anton 



Schultheis. College Point N. Y. 



(c) The Retailer — W. A. Adams, 



Buffalo. N. Y. 



The business meeting which was to 

 have been held at four o'clock was 

 postponed until the International 

 Flower Show In New York City next 

 month, because of the absence of Presi- 

 dent F. R. Pierson, and also because 

 the Buffalo and Rochester delegates 

 were obliged to leave earlier than they 

 had anticipated because of a change in 

 the train schedule. This meeting, 

 however, will be held in New York on 

 Monday afternoon. March 15, at four 

 o'clock.
