FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHING- 

 TON 

 "What does it cost to raise a crop?" 

 This was the question discussed at the 

 meeting of the Florists' Club of Wash- 

 ington, in connection with a letter 

 from the S. A. F. suggesting the ap- 

 pointment of a committee to obtain 

 data that would enable the club to 

 furnish a report on the "Cost of Pro- 

 duction." This problem brought out 

 the ideas of many of the members 

 present as to efficiency in crop produc- 

 tion. It was declared that it would 

 be rather a difficult matter to get fig- 

 ures that would mean anything, in 

 view of the difference in costs of the 

 various raw materials as between 

 different localities and different con- 

 cerns. There is also a big difference 

 in labor costs, and no two men will 

 produce the same crop in the same 

 way. The discussion was considered 

 one of the most important yet brought 

 before the Club and it was decided to 

 postpone action thereon, pending a 

 better attended meeting. The members 

 were given an opportunity to view- 

 some exceptionally fine white lilacs 

 displayed by I. Wessel Staalman, of 

 Oakton, Va. 



THE WESTCHESTER AND FAIR- 

 FIELD HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 

 The monthly meeting was held in 

 Greenwich, Conn., Friday evening Jan- 

 uary 10. Retiring president P. W. 

 Popp introduced the officers for 1919. 

 Mr. Graham thanked the members for 

 the honor of being elected president. 

 Awards were made to exhibitors as 

 follows: Carnation Laddie from W. 

 Graham, 1st, Euphorbia, jacquinaeflora, 

 James Stuart, 2nd, vegetables from 

 Robert Williamson 1st. A very inter- 

 esting paper was read by Maurice 

 Fuld. Mr. Fuld said that wages of the 

 complete gardener, the man that has 

 served his apprenticeship and is cap- 

 able of taking charge of a moderate 

 sized estate should be from $150 to 

 $200 a month with a house and all 

 necessary extras.
