ASSOCIATED RETAIL FLORISTS. 



A number of tlie prominent retail 

 florists of New York City have formed 

 and incor])orated a new association 

 called the Associated Retail P'lorists, 

 Inc. The first meeting was held at the 

 Hotel Woodward on December 8, at 

 which the following officers were elect- 

 ed: Michael A. Bowe, president; Max 

 Schling, vice-president; George E. .\I. 

 Stumpp, treasurer; William H. Sie- 

 brecht, Jr., secretary. The directors 

 are Marshall Clarke, Max Schling, Geo. 

 E. M. Stumpp, Michael A. Bowe and 

 William Burns. 



At the first meeting resolutions were 

 adopted, appealing to the commission- 

 er of labor lor his approval tor the 

 exemption of the florists in the city of 

 New York and their employees from 

 the operation of the rest clause of the 

 labor law, which requires them to give 

 employees twenty-four consecutive 

 hours' rest each week; and also ap- 

 pealing to the Industrial Board for an 

 order exempting florists from the pro- 

 visions of the said law. 



The following resolutions showing 

 the spirit of the Association toward 

 other organizations, was unanimously 

 adopted: 



Whereas, It is one of the purposes of 

 this organization to promote a more en- 

 larged and friendly Intercourse between 

 retail florists and horticulturists generally, 

 as set forth in the first article of the cer- 

 tificate of incorporation, and more fully 

 set forth in the by-laws: 



Whereas, The members of this corpora- 

 tion believes that the true iuterest of all 

 branches of the trade, including the retail 

 florists, the wholesale florists and the 

 growers are identical: 



Whereas, The corporation believes that 

 whatever is for the true benefit of any one 

 branch of the flower business will be for 

 the benefit of all: therefore, be it 



Resolved, That this corporation shall, 

 and hereby expresses its intention to work 

 In complete harmony with the other 

 branches of the flower business, namely, 

 the wholesalers and the growers; and 

 further be it 



Resolved, That no Important action for 

 the benefit of the trade generally shall be 

 consummated until the plan thereof sh.ill 

 have been submitted to the other two 

 branches of the trade, as represented by 

 their organizations, and the results of 

 their deliberations can he placed before 

 this corporatiun. 



A committee consisting of Messrs. 

 Stumpp, Schling and Kottmiller was 

 appointed to confer with the New York 

 and New Jersey Association of Plant 

 Growers, the Wholesale Florists' Pro- 

 tective Association and the New York 

 Florists' Club, and to obtain their co- 

 operation for the passage of an amend- 

 ment to the section of the labor law 

 above mentioned and to exempt florists 

 from the operation thereof. The mat- 

 ter of closing hours on evenings and 

 Sundays, steamship rates, and many 

 other items came up for discussion 

 and action. 



This new association already has 

 over thirty members and new applica- 

 tions are coming in daily. 



Buffalo, N. Y.— S. A. Anderson has 

 purchased the flower store of Rachel 

 M. Rebstock, 614 Main street. Mrs. 

 Johnson, formerly Rachel Rebstock, is 

 in charge.
