 Sproat. A letter protesting against the 

 order prohibiting the importation of 

 plants, shrubs and bulbs from Holland 

 and Belgium was read by the secretary 

 and vigorous protests were voiced. 

 James J. Karins, of Philadelphia, point- 

 ed out the various ways in which the 

 new law would affect the trade of the 

 country. He urged the club to write its 

 congressmen asking that the order be mod- 

 ified. G. B. Hart, Edwin P. Wilson 

 and Charles H. Vick were appointed a 

 committee to draft the resolutions. 



Various Notes.

FORT SMITH, ARK. 



Business has taken a slump since the 

 holidays and things are quiet compared 

 with the last three months. Funeral 

 work has slackened also and the demand 

 for flowers is not heavy at present. 

 From October 1 to January 1 business 

 was the best on record and prices, al- 

 though high, were met without much 

 protest. Wholesale prices made retail 

 prices go up so fast and so high that 

 a good many sales have been lost, but 

 still there can be no complaint. Stock 

 was scarce and plants sold extra well. 

 The florists all had all they could do. 



Building materials are still high and 

 we know of no one who is planning to 

 build. The prospects for spring trade 

 look good, for we have been having zero 

 weather and the gas supply has been 

 low and fern stock lost as a consequence. 

 Outside stock as well as stock in bouses 



has suffered and for that reason a good 

 demand is expected. G. R. 



YOUNGSTOWN, O. 



Plant stock has been good throughout 

 the season and this line clears readily. 

 Cut flowers, also, have been of good 

 quality, but high in price. The prices, 

 however, have not prevented them from 

 selling. 



John Walker is at home again, after a 

 few days spent in Columbus, Cleveland 

 and other cities in this section, looking 

 up bedding stock, which he says is hard 

 to get. 



H. H. Cade has returned from Cairo, 

 111., where he spent a couple of weeks 

 visiting his brother, H. W. Cade, a flo- 

 rist of that city. 



William Meine, of the firm of Schmidt 

 & Meine, is improving slowly from a 

 serious attack of influenza contracted 

 three months ago. 



The Kay-Dimond Co. has had several 

 large decorations lately and a number 

 of smaller ones since the first of the 

 year. E. W. D.
