FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILADEL- 

 PHIA 

 On account of the near approach of 

 Easter, the regular monthly meeting 

 of the above club on the 3rd inst. was 

 but moderately attended. The ab- 

 sentees missed a treat, as the orator 

 of the evening was J. Otto Thilow, and 

 his subject "Hawaii" — to which place 

 he has been a recent visitor — and he 

 told us of the glories of that wonderful 

 oasis in the Pacific — animal, vegetable, 

 and mineral, as only his trained, elo- 

 quent and accomplished personality 

 could do it. Some day he promises to 

 give us the pictures in addition to his 

 splendid word portrayal, and we may 

 all look forward to even a still greater 

 treat in the future. Other matters 

 taken up by the club were mostly rou-

tine or of but local interest. The most 

 encouraging report was that rendered 

 by the committee in charge of the 

 games and social features. They were 

 able to show a decided gain in receipts 

 as compared with the same period last 

 year. More power to them. 



THE CLEVELAND FLOWER SHOW. 



The fifth annual Cleveland Flower 

 Show will be held at the Hotel Statler, 

 November 8 to 11, in connection with 

 the annual meeting and exhibition of 

 the Chrysanthemum Society of Amer- 

 ica and fall meetings and shows of the 

 American Rose Society and American 

 Carnation Society, which will be held 

 in Cleveland during the same dates 

 and as a part of the Cleveland Flower 

 Show. The preliminary premium list 

 carries about $1,500 in cash besides 

 some forty valuable cups, vases and 

 medals. The executive office is at 

 402 Leader-News Bldg., Cleveland. 



H. P. Knoble, general chairman of 

 show committees, sends the following 

 note of explanation: 



It was our plan to conduct a big show 

 tills fall, in fact we had our preliminary 

 plans about complete by .January 1st. when 

 we were informed by the owners of the 

 Wifrmore Coliseum that their building: 

 would not be available for the use of shows 

 after March Ist. 1(117. 



We spent much time endeavoring to per- 

 suade the owners to change their plans but 

 were unsuccessful and after considering all 

 the other buildings available for siiowB. 

 finally decided to accept the offer of Hotel 

 Statler to use the entire mezzanine floor 

 and proceeded to readjust our premium U8t 

 to fit the apace. 12.500 square feet. 



This will explain the long delay in 

 laguing this list.

A CORRECTION. 

 Dear Sirs: 



Will you please make the following 

 correction in the list of awards sut)- 

 mitted to you from the recent New 

 York Flower Show. Class 310. calling 

 for Climbing Pink Specimen Rose was 

 won by A. N. Pierson, Inc., 1st prize, 

 and F. R. Pierson, Inc., 2nd prize; in- 

 stead of vice versa as it appeared in 

 the last edition of your paper. This 

 was a mistake on the part of the jurors 

 judging the class and not caused by 

 either of the exhibitors involved. 

 Yours very truly, 



Charles H. Tottt.
