THE NORTHERN INDIANA FLOR- 

 ISTS' ASSOCIATION. 



The Northern Indiana Florists' As- 

 sociation lield tlieir quarterly meeting 

 at Kendalville, Ind., on Oct. 16. The 

 day was pleasant and program fine. 

 A trip of greenhouse inspection took 

 in the establishment of the Johnson 

 Floral Company, who have just in- 

 stalled two new boilers. The meeting 

 was held at the First M. E. Church. 

 A fine exhibition room was provided 

 which was well filled with exhibits 

 which would do credit to a larger city 

 and which during the day was visited 

 by a large number of the flower lovers 

 of the city. 



Prank & Sons. Portland, Ind., had 

 one of the finest exhibits of roses we 

 have ever seen, including W. R. Smith, 

 White and Pink Killarney. Maryland 

 and Kaiserin. W. W. Coles, Kokomo, 

 also staged a fine lot of roses. In car- 

 nations, Johnson Floral Co., L. A. Cole, 

 Kokomo, W. W. Dederick, Warsaw, 

 Ind., were leaders. Ten Eyck & Son, 

 Auburn, staged chrysanthemums, as 

 did also South Bend Floral Co. Christ 

 Winterich, Defiance, Ohio, had some 

 cyclamen plants in 6 and 8-inch pots 

 which certainly did him credit. Other 

 exhibitors were: Johnson Floral Co., 

 a fine display of plants; Simon Hum- 

 feld, Muncie, plants and florists' neces- 

 sities; Mt. Gilead Pottery Co., pots 

 and pans; A. A. Arnold, Chicago, cut 

 flower boxes; A. L. Randall Co., Chi- 

 cago, florists' supplies; W. W. Barnard 

 Co., Chicago, florists' supplies and 

 bulbs. 



At the noon hour the ladies of the 

 church had an elegant banquet spread, 

 after which the tour of inspection was 

 resumed by automobile, visiting the 

 Kendalville Celery Gardens; Flint & 

 Walling (Star) pump and windmill 

 works; the McCray Refrigerator Co., 

 where were seen refrigerators, great 

 and small, in all stages from the first 

 stage to the finished product and we 

 can testify there is no shoddy work 

 done here.

 odore Haserodt, Mt. Gilead, O.; A. W. 

 Herre, Chicago, 111.; C. O. Wilcox, Chi-

 tendance. The resignation of Prof. H. 

 J. Wheeler, a director of the Agricul- 

 tural Experiment Station of the 

 Rhode Island State College and an ac- 

 tive members of the Florists' Club, was 

 received. Prof. Wheeler is seeking a 

 wider field of opportunity and will 

 sever his connection with the Sta e 

 College on Dec. 1. It is with keen re- 

 gret that the club accepted the resig- 

 nation and expressed deep regret that 

 it was about to lose the wise counsel 

 and ever-willing support of one who 

 has done much for the florists and 

 gardeners of the state in advancing 

 their interests. As a fitting recogni- 

 tion of his labors in the club it elected 

 him to honorary membership.
