FLORISTS' AND GARDENERS' CLUB 

 OF RHODE ISLAND. 



The regular meeting of the Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club of Rhode Island 

 was held on the evening of Oct. 23, 

 with a good attendance. An import ant 

 feature of the meeting was the report 

 hi' b special committee including Wil- 

 liam Hill, Alexander Macrae and E. A. 

 Appleton, which in substance was to 

 the effect that the special appropria- 

 tlon of the Khode Island Horticulture 

 Society of $150 for the annual show 

 will be set aside wholly for premiums 

 to be competed for by florists. This 

 report struck a responsive chord, and 

 many of the florists expressed their 

 willingness to go in and revive the 

 show which for the past four or five 

 years has been sadly lacking in so far 

 as they were concerned. 



The principal topic under considera- 

 tion at the meeting was the planting 

 of trees. Many trees were planted in 

 the public streets of this city during 

 the past year, and the manner and 

 season in which it was done, in some 

 cases, failed to meet with the appro- 

 hat ion of some of the members of the 

 club, judging from the nature of their 

 remarks. 



At the next meeting of the club on 

 Nov. 20, .Michael Sweeney will read a 

 paper on a topic of special interest to 

 the members. The annual election 

 Will also occur on this date.

DETROIT FLORIST CLUB. 



The Committee on Fall Flower Show 

 has sent out the following bulletin: 



Dear Friend: Your duly appointed com- 



considers itself very fortunate to he 



able to arrange your Annual Fall Flower 



Exhibit in a much more convenient pi 



than the salesroom of the Michigan Cul 

 Flower Exchange has been in the past. 

 The Twentieth Century Club, corner 

 Witherell and Columbia Sts., has offered 

 us their building, free of charge, for the 

 purpose of arranging a show on Novem- 

 ber 14th and 15tb."inil. 



While profoundly thankful for the many 

 favors shown us by the Michigan Cut 

 Flower Exchange in the past years, we 

 cannot help but cheerfully grasp the op- 

 portunity to display our product without 

 crowding it together within a few square 

 yards, and at the same time, we can a^k 

 the public to view our work by paying a 

 small admission fee. 



The name 'Show" is perhaps too large a 

 name to use because it shall he nothing 

 but our Annual Fall Exhibition distributed 

 over o larger space: In other words, this 



year will 1 n attempt to creep without 



any extra expense to speak of, but simply 

 :i less, ,n so we may be able to "walk" and 

 lone a real show in another year. 



Prizes to he distributed will be primarily 

 "Certificates," and the points will be so 

 arranged that large growers and small 

 growers have the same opportunity. 



Considering that many friends in our 

 trade as well as outside will be glad to 

 offer prizes, your committee has decided 

 to solicit the donations of "Cups" for 

 which the same rules of competition per- 

 tain as for the Certificates. 



Retailer please observe that several small 

 rooms are at your disposal in this build- 

 ing to make any display you desire. 

 Kindly post this committee as to your 

 wants at an early date. 



All of us remember November 14th and 

 I5th. 



Let us all help together and we are 

 bound to succeed for the benefit of all.
