The Florists' Review 



If ABOI Q. 1919 



and, judging from the quantity that 

 comes on the market, either nature or 

 the boys have found some effective 

 remedy for bud dropping. Paper Whites, 

 like all miscellaneous stock, are in good 

 supply. I think everyone will agree 

 with me tha^the fine, springlike weather 

 we have been having is more responsible 

 for the production of flowers at this 

 time than anything the grower can do. 

 The demand for flowers still holds good 

 and the wholesale houses clean up well 

 each day. 



Olub Meeting. 



A meeting of the Florists' Club was 

 called to consider radical changes in 

 the constitution and by-laws. A com- 

 mittee had been appointed, with Wil- 

 liam F. Ekas as chairman. As Mr. 

 Ekas read the recommendations of the 

 committee, one would have supposed the 

 club was going through a process of re- 

 organization and this is about what it 

 amounts to. Bight here I want to speak 

 of the credit which is due our retiring 

 president, E. A. Vincent. Although he 

 had eighteen miles to copie, he never 

 missed a meeting. I shall always feel 

 that the club was most fortunate in 

 having a man of Mr. Vincent 's type for 

 its presiding officer during one of the 

 most trying years of the thirty-two of 

 its existence. After Eobert Halliday 

 had been nominated for the ensuing 

 year, Mr. Vincent showed the stuff he 

 was made of, when in a short speech he 

 said there was no man in our city he 

 would rather see succeed him and the 

 new president would find him just as 

 willing to work for the welfare of the 

 <ilub in the ranks as he had been as 

 president. 



The year has been a hard one on our 

 club, as I understand it has been with 

 most clubs throughout the country, but 

 owing to the energy of Mr. Vincent the 

 Baltimore club has a good nucleus to 

 begin life anew, which is just what we 

 propose to do. I am sorry to say that 

 death has robbed us of some of the most 

 faithful members; then war conditions 

 and the weather of last winter have 

 been most trying, but none of these 

 things can keep a bunch of florists 

 down. Our slogans during the coming 

 year will be "Watch us Grow" and 

 "Say It with Flowers." 



Various Notes. 



A short time ago several of us were 

 speaking of the most popular men con- 

 nected with the trade in Baltimore. 

 Among others, the name of J. J. Perry, 

 of the S. S. Pennock Co., was men- 

 tioned. This was forcibly brought home 

 to me today. Usually the last thing I 

 do before writing my letter for The 

 Eeview is to call up Mr. Perry and see 

 if there is any belated news I should 

 have. Today he was too busy for me 

 to get his ear even for a minute. About 

 half an hour afterward I was walking 

 down Courtland street when I heard 

 someone call me. I turned and there 

 was Perry, in his "tin lizzie" that so 

 many of us know so well, with an 

 apology for not having been able to 

 talk to me when I called. His delivery 

 trucks were out and he was delivering a 

 hurry-up order himself to a customer in 

 East Baltimore. This is the accom- 

 modating spirit which has, during the 

 last twenty-five years, made Mr. Perry 

 one of the most popular men in the 

 trade of our city and invaluable to the 

 house of Pennock.
