The October Meeting. 



There was a crowd at the Adelphia to 

 hear the publicity committee's report. 

 It was the annual meeting, too, the an- 

 nual meeting of the Florists' Club, but 

 that was of minor import when com- 

 pared with this new experience. The 

 publicity committee had a plan, de- 

 scribed in a letter that went out with 

 the notices. They expected opposition 

 to their plan. To smooth the way to 

 harmony, Frank M. Boss, of the com- 

 mittee, approached each member as he 

 entered and gravely presented a horn 

 and a hammer (so called, but really a 

 pair of bones), remarking, "Here are 

 a horn and a hammer. You may use 

 either the horn or the hammer here, but 

 only the horn afterwards." The gifts 

 and speech effectively disarmed opposi- 

 tion. 



The exhibits consisted of several vases 

 of named dahlias from the Henry F. 

 Michell Co., of Andalusia; Eose Cor- 

 nelia from Eobert Scott & Son, of 

 Sharon Hill, which will be sent out next 

 spring; a deep pink seedling rose from 

 Edward Towill, of Roslyn, which is from 

 Hadley and Milady, Maryland and Rosa- 

 lind Orr English, the two seedlings re- 

 sulting, being crossed. It is fragrant.

 Norristown, sent some mat evergreens. 



President Harvey called the meeting 

 to order. Secretary Kif t read encourag- 

 ing reports from the secretary and from 

 the treasurer. The antediluvian method 

 of balloting for new members and the 

 exhibition committee report followed. 

 Then came the election of officers. 

 Arthur A. Niessen withdrew as a candi- 

 date for vice-president, thus removing 

 the only contest. So the secretary cast 

 one ballot each for Edmund A. Harvey, 

 president; Harry S. Betz, vice-president; 

 George Craig, treasurer, and Robert 

 Kift, secretary, and they were declared 

 duly elected. 



Then came the real business of the 

 evening. Robert Kift took the floor and 

 read letters from Albert Pochelon, of 



Detroit; Herman P. Knoble, of Cleve- 

 land, and (I think) C. C. Pollworth 

 Co., of Milwaukee, describing the suc- 

 cessful publicity campaigns in those 

 cities. Charles H. Grakelow, chairman 

 of the club's publicity committee, went 

 on the platform and, after having a 

 little fun with the rear guard, he settled 

 down to work and for over an hour he 

 went carefully into the committee's 

 plans with his large audience. 



Briefly put, the committee have put 

 up four large billboards, 20x50 feet, and 

 one 10x40 feet, on different approaches 

 to the city. They have had 10,000 note- 

 head stickers printed and a great num- 

 ber of telegraph signs. They have ar- 

 ranged to place twenty large baskets 

 sent by the Joseph G. Neidinger Co., 

 handsomely filled, in twenty prominent
