Club Meeting. 



The regular meeting of the Baltimore 

 Florists' Club was held February 9. As 

 the president, William F. Ekas, was go- 

 ing to make his report on the directors ' 

 meeting of the S. A. F. in Cleveland, 

 Robert L. Graham, Jr., presided. The 

 weather was bad and many of our 

 suburban members were not able to get 

 in on account of the snow-banked roads. 

 Mr. Ekas was at his best in telling of 

 the work accomplished by these di- 

 rectors, laying special emphasis upon

 Mr. Ekas was full of advertising before 

 he went to Cleveland, but he has come

 others. Indeed, it would be impossible 

 for anyone connected with the florists' 

 business to be in such an environment 

 of advertising and not become in- 

 fected.

James 8. Merritt, chairman of the 

 local committee, said that it was the 

 aim of the committee to raise $5,000 

 for advertising during the coming year 

 and told how they now had virtually 

 100 per cent of the growers pledged 

 to give one-half of one per cent on all 

 their sales. William Feast is about to 

 call a meeting of the retailers to get 

 at their share of the fund. All that is 

 needed is for someone like Mr. Feast
