a membership contest and that no ef- 

 forts would be spared to make a sub- 

 stantial gain. William J. Thurston, 

 manager of the Boston Flower Exchange, 

 on whom one or more retailers cast 

 aspersions at the February meeting, de- 

 fended himself in vigorous fashion and 

 was warmly applauded. Charges made 

 against him proved to be unfounded and 

 those who had made them expressed their 

 regrets. 



The wholesalers had the floor and 

 Charles E. Eobinson, of H. M. Robinson 

 & Co., started the ball rolling. He dis- 

 cussed the causes of the present slump 

 in business and said that high prices 

 were not good for the cut flower busi- 

 ness. We must endeavor to create a 

 demand for flowers. The wholesalers 

 were not considered so much as the re- 

 tailers, although the bnlk of the flowers 

 coming into the cut flower markets in 

 Boston were handled through them. In- 

 stead of having a market manager buy 

 flowers for retailers, why not compel 

 them to buy from a wholesaler? Co- 

 operation and a get-together policy were 

 never more necessary. 



Edward Welch, of 'the Welch Bros. Co., 

 thought that salesmen should not do a 

 shipping business; if they continued to 

 do so, why should not wholesalers be 

 allowed to sell at retail on occasion? 

 Benjamin A. Snyder, of the Boston 

 Floral Supply Co., made a vigorous ad- 

 dress. He said that the wholesalers 

 were the men who looked for markets for 

 the produce grown and that they had to 

 face competition from other flower- 

 growing centers. He scathingly de- 

 nounced salesmen for refusing to sell a 

 particular variety of rose or carnation 

 unless a proportion of other colors, 

 usually less salable, were taken. He 

 also scored the practice prevalent among 

 salesmen of buying from one another 

 early in the morning, when prices were 

 high, and demanding extortionate prices 

 for such produce. Sam Robinson, of the 

 Boston Floral Supply Co., defended the
