WILL SAVE FLORISTS MONEY. 

 The F. T. D. Establishes a Bank Ac- 

 count Across the Line. 



To facilitate, encourage and develop 

 a closer relationship and a larger 

 volume of international F. T. D. busi- 

 ness this office has decided to broaden 

 out and establish an International 

 Clearing House whereby to save our 

 members the unnecessary exchange 

 rate that is forced upon our Canadian 

 brothers. 



The P. T. D. office has decided to 

 establish a bank account on the Cana- 

 dian side as well as an account on this 

 side, to mail checks owed by American 

 F. T. D. A. members to Canadian 

 members from the Canadian bank, and 

 Canadian bills due American members 

 will receive American checks from the 

 F. T. D. A. office. 



Therefore, if you have any bills due 

 Canadian members send them to this 

 office with your check to cover, this 

 will be deposited in the American 

 bank and a check to cover your bill 

 Issued from the Canadian bank and 

 likewise with the Canadian bills, their 

 checks deposited in the Canadian bank 

 and a check issued from the F. T. D. A. 

 office instead. 



Remember, that with co-operation 

 we can do a great deal of good. 



Yours for more F. T. D. A. co-opera- 

 tion, 



Aj,BERT PocHEXON, Sec'y F. T. D. A. 



WASHINGTON OYSTER ROAST. 



"And a good time was had by all," 

 amply describes the Oyster Roast 

 staged by the florists of Washington 

 in one of the large greenhouses of the 

 Washington Florial Company, in Alex- 

 andria, Va., on the evening of February 

 28. Led by a delegation from Gude 

 Bros., in a large limousine, the florists 

 made quite a procession journeying 

 from Washington to the historic Vir- 

 ginian city in a string of poor men's 

 Packards. 



The greenhouse was decorated with 

 palms and ferns and American flags. 

 At one end a platform had been set up 

 for "speakers," but this was largely 

 utilized by a colored orchestra that set 

 loose a considerable amount of "jazz." 

 Oysters and clams on the half shell 

 and cooked in several styles, with all 

 the fixings, were served. 



Among the speakers were David G. 

 Grillbortzer, president of the Washing- 

 ton Floral Company; J. Harper 

 Hetherington, manager of the Four- 

 teenth Street Store of that company; 

 William F. and Adolph Gude, of Gude 

 Bros.; Captain James, of the British 

 Army and Z. D. Blackistone. 



Mr. Hetherington was in charge of 

 transportation arrangements and the 

 commissary, while Mr. Grillbortzer

 latter delivered a few words of wel- 

 come and then urged that all of the

 for the excellence of the entertain-

MICHIGAN QUARANTINE 

 The state of Michigan has placed a 

 quarantine order against corn and a 

 large number of plants from New Eng- 

 land on account of the European corn 

 borer, but has specifically excluded the 

 cornis of gladioli and the tubers of 

 dahlias without stems, as has the Fed- 

 era! Horticultural Board.
