The Florists' Review 



March 2, 1916. 



ent the President and dignitaries of this 

 country and of foreign powers. The 

 work was done by J. H. Small & Sons 

 and is said to have eclipsed all previous 

 efforts on the part of this concern. J. 

 H. Small is a prominent member of this 

 organization and personally superin- 

 tended the work. 



Another notable decoration was that 

 of George H. Cooke, president of the 

 Florists' Club, who is noted for his 

 unique designs. The affair was at Rau- 

 scher's, where both ballrooms were oc- 

 cupied. The main decoration was on a 

 table 18x35 feet, done entirely in spring 

 flowers. A large number of French 

 baskets were used. 



William F. Gude is back of a project 

 which contemplates the enlargement of 

 the present Botanic Gardens, by taking 

 in the large tract of land recently ac- 

 quired by the government. The author- 

 ities have declared that the gardens are 

 at present cramped for room, and there 

 has been a movement on foot to remove 

 them to Rock Creek park, a consider- 

 able distance from the center of the 

 city. This has been opposed by the flo- 

 rists and others interested. Mr. Gude 

 Elans, should tliis scheme succeed, to 

 ave erected in the center of this new 

 space a fitting memorial to the late 

 William R. Smith. It is understood 

 that legislation will be offered in Con- 

 gress within a short time and it is 

 Mr. Gude's desire that florists send 

 letters to their representatives in Con- 

 gress urging the enlargement of the 

 gardens. 



The annual meeting of the Florists' 

 Club will be held at 1214 F street, 

 northwest, March 7. The feature of 

 the meeting will be the annual election 

 of officers. At the February meeting 

 the following nominations were made: 

 President, Lloyd Jenkins; vice-presi- 

 dent, Adolph Gude; treasurer, William 

 F. Gude; secretary, Clarence L. Linz. 

 Nominations for the executive commit- 

 tee are: George Field, Adolph Gude, 

 George H. Cooke, Theodore Diedrich, 

 David Bisset and William H. Ernest. 

 It is expected that additional nomina- 

 tions may be made from the floor at the 

 time of the meeting.

We are not trying to see how cheap 

 a hanging basket we can make— 

 but how gfood. Naturally there 

 must be some difference in prices 

 as betw^een the best basket one 

 can make and the cheapest— but 

 there's a whole lot more difference 

 in the quality than there is in the 

 price, if you seek a g^ood article, 

 send us a trial order.

 It's sturdy and strong. The price
