The Club Meeting. 



Monday, August 13, the Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club held one of the best 

 attended meetings it has had in a long 

 time, the reason for this being the spe- 

 cial business for the evening. At the 

 July meeting the question, "Should the 

 production of cut flowers for the season 

 be limited on account of war condi- 

 tions?" was made the special order of 

 business for this meeting, and each 

 member of the club was notified. 



As one sat and listened to the dis- 

 cussion pro and con, one could not help 

 but notice the spirit of optimism that 

 is steadily growing among florists over 

 the future of the florists' business. 

 Everyone who spoke on the subject re-

 showed a larger volume of business 

 done, but with profits diminished. This 

 naturally brought out the fact that it 

 is costing the grower more to produce 

 flowers and the retailer more to sell 

 them, bringing the question down to a 

 readjustment of prices. 



It w^ most interesting to note the 

 deep thought and study that had been 

 given to this question by everyone. It 

 is a thing which I feel sure will be of 

 great value to everyone in the trade, 

 for this investigation has given every 

 man a deeper insight into his business. 

 The unanimous opinion was that each 

 man should grow all the stock he could; 

 that he should make it a point to elim- 

 inate inferior quality and to increase 

 the selling price of his commodity in 

 proportion to tlie increase in the pro-
