will testify. Boxwood is greatly in de- 

 mand and it is hard to get enough pine 

 to satisfy demands. The retail stores, 

 especially the pnes catering to the so- 

 ciety business,- were busy last week. 

 Many debutante affairs called for cre-

Club's Anniversary Baiiquet.> 



The Pittsburgh Florists' Club cele- 

 brated its twenty-fifth anniversary 

 Monday night, November 20, with a 

 banquet at the Fort Pitt hotel. The 

 tables were set in the Dutch room. 

 E. C. Keineman, the first president of 

 the club, acted as toastmaster and read 

 a paper entitled "The History of the 

 Club," in which he spoke of J. W. 

 Ludwig as being the father of the club. 

 It was Mr. Ludwig who started the in- 

 terest in a club after returning from 

 the S. A. F. convention at Boston. The 

 first meeting was held in the store of 

 Ludwig & Eichter and the organization 

 perfected. Since that time the club 

 has had a continued growth and has 

 done its share to advance the produc- 

 tion of better flowers. 



Among the other speakers were P. S. 

 Randolph, who called attention to the 

 wonderful advance the cut flower busi- 

 ness has made. He added, however, 

 that the plantsmen had not kept up 

 with the procession; they are not get- 

 ting prices commensurate with the cost 

 of production. Fred Burki expressed 

 himself on the pleasure of meeting old 

 friends and asked to be excused from 

 making a speech. 



George Oesterle, the first secretary 

 of the club, was the next speaker. He 

 was one of the most successful growers, 

 but now is in the laundry business. 

 J. W. Ludwig then told of his visit to
