THE GROWERS' MEETING. 

 The following letter is being sent to 

 the growers of Greater Boston; 



March 9, 1920. 

 Dear Sir: 



You are earnestly requested to be 

 present at a meeting to be held at 7.30 

 o'clock P. M., Tuesday, March 23rd, at 

 the American House, Hanover street, 

 Boston, Mass. 



At this time Mr. J. P. Ammann of 

 Edwardsville, Illinois; W. R. Pierson 

 of Cromwell, Conn., and others will ad- 

 dress the meeting relative to forming 

 a branch of the National Flower Grow- 

 ers' Association. 



At a meeting last January, held in 

 Chicago, a preliminary organization 

 was formed to report at the S. A. F. 

 Convention next August, at Cleveland. 

 This organization is to be composed of 

 Growers of Cut Flowers and Plants 

 ONLY, for the mutual benefit in a 

 large way that only a National organi- 

 zation can accomplish. 



Whether interested or not, you 

 should be present and listen to what 

 these men of national repute have to 

 say, who at their own expense, have 

 come to talk to us about what may be 

 accomplished by organization, such as: 



The stabilizing of prices by mutual 

 co-operation in national and local ad- 

 vertising. 



To protect its members against unjust 

 and unlawful exactions; the correc- 

 tions of abuses; to protect against en- 

 actment of damaging laws which may 

 be proposed by those unfamiliar with 

 the requirements of the trade, and the 

 collection and dissemination of this in- 

 formation. 



This meeting will be interesting and 

 of personal benefit to each and every 

 one, whether a large or small grower. 



Don't forget the date! Tuesday, Mar. 

 23rd, 7.30 P. M., American House, Bos- 

 ton, Mass. 



Very truly yours, 

 E. Alle.n Peikce. 

 T. Roland,

The Lord & Burnham Co. has 

 adopted a profit-sharing plan, the de- 

 tails of which have been printed in 

 pamphlet form and will be distributed 

 among the employees of the concern. 

 It gives the company seven percent 

 annual interest on its investment; the 

 remainder of the profit will be divided 

 between the company and the em- 

 ployees. The employees will then bo 

 entitled to common stock to be paid for 

 from the dividends of the individual.
