CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB. 



Editor, HoRTicuLxruE: 



Dear Sir: — Enclosed find resolution 

 adopted by the Chicago Florists' Club 

 in the spirit of patriotism and civic 

 duty. 



I have just learned with sad regret 

 that the Garden Bureau will cease Its 

 operation after the present week. I 

 am very sorry indeed that this oc- 

 curred, as this Committee had com- 

 pleted all plans to carry on this work, 

 and our efforts therefore have been in 

 vain. 



The Garden Bureau will be discon- 

 tinued for the reason that the proper 

 financial aid has not been forthcoming, 

 which is to be very much regretted in- 

 deed. This Bureau had already plowed 

 between 7,000 and 8,000 acres in Cook 

 County for Community Gardens, and 

 nearly 60,000 people have been demand- 

 ing the services of this Bureau. 



I wish to express to the members of 

 this Committee sincere appreciation 

 of their liearty co-operation towards 

 this movement and imless something 

 of importance should turn up, the writ- 

 er will ask our Club to dismiss tliis 

 Committee at the next meeting.

COM.MITTEE, 



By F. L.vuTE.xsfULAiiER, Chairman. 



Chicago, May 21, 1917. 



Following is the resolution adopted 

 by the Chicago Florists' Club on May 

 10, 1917: 



BE IT RESOLVED, That the Chicago 

 Florists' Club in the spirit of patriotism 

 and civic duty, does hereby heartily endorse 

 and encourage the furthering^ of the work 



now being carried on under the name of the 

 Garden P.ureau of Chicago. 



PURTIIEK, That this organization does 

 hereby offer its assistance and co-operation, 

 by pledging itself and its members to raise 

 plants for garden products of such kind 

 and in such quantity as may be practicable, 

 and to donate the same to the public, to be 

 distributed under the guidance and direc- 

 tion of the Committee which shall be by 

 this organization thereunto appointed. 



ST. LOUIS NATIVE FLORA IN 

 DANGER. 



The St. Louis Association of Garden- 

 ers at its regular meeting unanimously 

 resolved to conserve the native flora of 

 St. Louis and Coutity. Our native flora, 

 owing to indiscriminate collectors, is 

 rapidly becoming In danger, especially 

 in proximity of St. Louis. Picnic par- 

 ties, etc., visiting the country for Sun- 

 day vacations, unfortunately become 

 over-enthusiastic with native flowering 

 plants, to such an extent, that they 

 devastate the landscape of its beauty, 

 with the idea of reproducing the effect 

 in the city garden. In the majority of 

 cases the amateur does not study the 

 environmental factors, the result being 

 a total loss. 



The St. Louis Association of Garden- 

 ers, therefore, recommends to the peo- 

 ple of St. Louis, that the woodland 

 flowers should remain unmolested to 

 their environments, allowing their 

 beauty to be admired by all. 



A copy of this resolution is being 

 sent to all Garden Clubs, Horticultural 

 Societies and Florists' Clubs of St. 

 Louis.
