 triimled One Hundred times this

 would be advanced. Are you willing. 

 are you satisfied that others should 

 bear an expense which is incurred as 

 much for your benefit as for anyone 

 else in the trade? We are sure you 

 are not. Instead of spending $20,000, 

 this Fall, we ought' to be In a position 

 to spend $50,000, and the money

 part. Just give further thought to 

 this very important undertaking and

 know your conscience prompts you to

COLLEGE SECTION 



During the convention of S. A. F. 

 & O. H. held in Detroit, a small group 

 of college florists held a meeting in 

 one of the ante-rooms of the exhibi- 

 tion hall. Professor H. B. Dorner of 

 the University of Illinois was the 

 temporary chairman. He suggested 

 that the college florists form an in- 

 formal organization with the S. A. F. 

 and O. H. Members present were 

 heartily in favor of this and proceed- 

 ed to elect a President and Secretary- 

 Treasurer. Dr. A. C. Beal of Cornell 

 University nominated H. B. Dorner 

 for the office of President and Mr. 

 Dorner was unanimously elected. 

 Alfred C. Hottes was nominated for 

 the position of Secretary-Treasurer 

 and elected to that office. 



An informal discussion was held in 

 which an attempt was made to formu- 

 late the aims of the organization, 

 which may be briefly stated as fol- 

 lows: The college florists should be 

 able to meet together each year to 

 hold discussions relating to the prob. 

 lems of teaching and investigation in 

 floriculture. The organization would 

 give an opportunity for the florists 

 to present to the investigator his prob- 

 lems and for the college man to co- 

 operate with the florist in making 

 plain to him the ideals toward which 

 instructional work and investigation 

 are carried on in the colleges. 



It was suggested that all those 

 members of the S. A. F. and O. H. 

 who are engaged in teaching definite 

 floricultural courses or conducting re- 

 search in floriculture in the Universi- 

 ties and Colleges would be eligible for 

 membership.
