NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW COM- 

 MITTEE. 



A meeting of the National Flower 

 Show Committee of the S. A. P. and 

 O. H. was held at the Grand Central 

 Palace, New York, on Wednesday 

 ■morning, March 17. 



There were present: Chairman 

 •George Asmus, Chicago. 111. : Secretary 

 John Young, New York; Thomas Ro- 

 land, Nahant, Mass.; Patrick Welch. 

 Boston, Mass.; Herman P. Knoble. 

 Cleveland, Ohio; and F. H. Traendly,

 •Carnation Society. There were also 

 present Wallace R. Pierson. Cromwell. 

 €onn., C. H. Totty. Madison, N. .1., and 



President A. L. Miller of the S. A. F. 

 and O. H. 



Selection of a city in which to hold 

 the next National Flower Show was 

 the first business of the meeting. Mr. 

 Knoble suggested Cleveland as a city 

 which could house the show satis- 

 factorily. The new Municipal Build- 

 ing in that city, he said, was ex- 

 pected to be completed in about a 

 year, and he had every reason to be- 

 lieve that advantageous arrangements 

 could be made with the proper au- 

 thorities for the use of the main hall 

 for the show. The various horticul- 

 tural interests of Cleveland were, he 

 said, most anxious that the next show 

 be held in their city. On motion of 

 Mr. Roland, seconded by Mr. Welch, 

 it was decided that the next show be 

 held in Cleveland, in the spring of 

 1922. ■ — 'viding adequate arrangements 

 can be made with the Cleveland in- 

 terests. Mr. Knoble moved, seconded 



by Mr. Roland, that the Show open on 

 Saturday, March 25, and close on Sat- 

 urday, April 1, and a poll vote resulted 

 in the unanimous adoption of these 

 dates, which were considered most de- 

 sirable, Easter in 1922 falling on 

 April 16. 



Mr. Roland emphasized the im- 

 portance of preparing and distributing 

 a preliminary schedule of premiums 

 for plants at as early a date as pos- 

 sible, and recommended that a sub- 

 committee be appointed to prepare 

 such a schedule, and submit the same 

 at a later meeting of the committee, 

 which should be held, in the near 

 future, in Cleveland, and then and 

 there settled. The month of June was 

 suggested as a good season for this 

 meeting. The chairman appointed 

 Messrs. Roland, Traendly, Knoble, and 

 William H. Duckham as such sub-com- 

 mittee. 



Prof. White received the assurance 

 of the committee that the same ar- 

 rangements made for the co-operation 

 of the American Rose Society in the 

 projected National Flower Show in 

 St. Louis in 1918. which show was, 

 owing to the circumstances, post- 

 poned, would be entered into for the 

 Cleveland Show; and Mr. Goddard, for 

 the American Carnation Society, was 

 given similar assurance. 



By unanimous vote the sub-commit- 

 tee on schedule was given authority 

 to prepare a preliminary schedule of 

 prizes, which should not exceed a 

 total value of $20,000. this amount to 

 include all special premiums which, 

 might be offered, and which it was 

 distinctly understood should be ap- 

 plied to the reduction of the amount 

 of the total. 



Mr. Knoble was requested to take 

 the necessary steps for organizing the 

 local interests of Cleveland, so that 

 an open meeting could be held at the 

 time of the meeting of the committee 

 there in June when matters pertain- 

 ing to the show could be fully dis- 

 cussed; and he was given authority to 

 arrange for this meeting. 



It was voted that Chairman Asmus 

 and Mr. Knoble be appointed a com- 

 mittee to negotiate with the proper 

 authorities for quarters for the show. 

 The chairman announced that, fol-
