store windows in the center of the city, 

 all this referring to the "Say It with 

 Flowers" slogan to be exploited dur- 

 ing the week of October 12 to 18. The 

 aim is to get every retailer to make a 

 handsome display in his own shop dur- 

 ing that week. All the advertising is 

 to be general in character. Mr. Grake- 

 low said he was sending out 3,000 letters, 

 one-half his mailing list, calling atten- 

 tion to the display for the week in all 

 the shops. The committee 's plans also in- 

 cluded sending flowers to the churches 

 and to the hospitals, with letters to the 

 clergyman and to the superintendent in 

 each case, also placing a handsome float 

 as the Florists' Club's contribution to 

 the civic parade of October 11. Mr. 

 Grakelow described what had been done 

 during the visits of General Pershing 

 and of Cardinal Mercier and read and 

 told of the acknowledgments received 

 for these courtesies. Turning to the 

 question of finance, Mr. Grakelow pro- 

 posed on behalf of the committee a tax 

 of one-half of one per cent on the pur- 

 chases of the retailers and a half of one 

 per cent on the sales of the supply men 

 within the city limits. The plantsmen 

 were also to be taxed one per cent on 

 their local sales. The wholesalers' con- 

 tribution was to be in collecting the 

 taxes and forwarding them to the com- 

 mittee. Those present pledged their 

 support. Robert Craig followed with a 

 humorous address that delighted every- 

 body. He closed with an earnest appeal 

 for support for this new plan. 



The question of the right of the club 

 to tax its members is simple. It has no 

 right to do so. Yet the club has a moral 

 right to the hearty support of every one 

 of its members and the florist who is 

 not willing to do her or his share to for- 

 ward a plan intended for the general 

 welfare incurs a grave responsibility. 



Various Notes. 



The Pennsylvania Horticultural So- 

 ciety asks the support of the commercial 

 cut flower growers as exhibitors at the 

 fall show to be held November 5 to 8 

 in the lirst Regiment armory, Bond 

 and Callowhill streets. The schedule of 

 prizes may be secured from David Rust, 

 secretary, 606 Finance building. En- 

 tries are to be staged at noon on Thurs- 

 day, November 6. 



The genial Paul Berkowitz, member 

 of the firm of H. Bayersdorfer & Co., 

 has offered the following funny clip- 

 ping from Country Gentleman. Mr. 

 Berkowitz thinks that the florist re- 

 ferred to in the article is Henry Penn, 

 of Boston:
