FLORISTS- CLUB OF WASHINGTON 



The feat\ire of the meeting of the 

 Florists' Club of Washington was the 

 nomination of officers and a discussion 

 of the plans for the attendance of 

 Washingtonians and Haltimoreans at 

 the National Flower Show. The ar- 

 rangements for this trip are in the 

 hands of a committee consisting of 

 Harry B. Lewis. Milton Tliomas and 

 M. J. McCabe. A special train will be 

 run over the Baltimore & Ohio rail- 

 road if the number of travelers will 

 ■warrant It. 



R. L. .lenkins, who for the past two 

 years has been the vice-president of 

 the local club, was unanimously nomi- 

 nated for the presidency and Adolph 

 Gude for the vice-presidency, while the 

 present secretary and treasurer were 

 renominated. 



A resolution was adopted embody- 

 ing a request that the Department of 

 Agriculture include dahlias within the 

 tests made of various growing flowers 

 and plants in the Government experi- 

 mental gardens and farms, the origi- 

 nal stock for such tests to be furnished 

 without expense to the Government. 



Following the regular business 

 meeting a buffet luncheon was served.

At a meeting of the Rhode Island 

 State Arborists' Association held last 

 week in the State Doard of Agricul- 

 ture at the Capitol, a committee was 

 appointed to draft a bill and to look 

 after its passage in the I.«gislature. 

 One of the principal features nf the 

 bill is that it will require the licensing 

 of tree surgeons. It is contended by 

 the State Association and growers 

 that their Interests are not protected, 

 for the reason that the men enga,eed 

 In tree surgery are not all properly 

 qualified.
