LOUISIANA RED CYPRESS 



BENCH LUMBER 



No doubt some of your old benches need repairing — or may have to be 



entirely replaced. We have in our Chicago yard a large and 



well assorted stock of bench lumber — 



Genuine Louisiana Red Gulf Cypress 



— and can take care of you on large or small lots. Freight shipments 

 are slow -^ order early and you will not be disappointed.

the game. Another who has his coat 

 off and is putting some good licks in for 

 the committee is Robert W. Johnston. 

 He has some good ideas and has the 

 courage of his convictions. Then there 

 is Tom Stevenson, who never misses a 

 meeting. William F. Keys, Jr., is an- 

 other. He believes in slogans and em- 

 blems in advertising. He says those 

 two keys in his advertisement in the 

 Pink Part of The Review certainly do 

 the work. Everyone on the committee 

 says he does not know what defeat is. 

 Their motto is: "In the lexicon of 

 youth there is no such word as fail," 

 pnd when we see their enthusiasm and 

 what they are accomplishing, it makes 

 some of us older fellows recall those 

 well known lines of an old song: "Back- 

 ward, turn backward, O Time, in thy 

 flight; make me a child again just for 

 tonight." But to get down to brass 

 tacks, this campaign has already demon- 

 strated that the florists cannot get along 

 without it; that it is going to be per 

 manent, and that, before long, it will 

 be one of the most valuable assets of thi' 

 business. 



Growers' Association. 



Recently I received a letter from J. 

 Fred Ammann, secretary of the Na- 

 tional Flower Growers' Association, in 

 which he asked me to talk with the 

 growers. I took the matter up with 

 William F. Ekas, president of the Bal- 

 timore Florists' Club. He told me to 

 make this matter the special order of 

 business at the June meeting of the 

 elub and to ask Mr. Ammann to present 

 the claims of the association ^n person; 

 all of which I have done. I liavc just 

 received another letter from Mr. Am- 

 mann, saying that he will be only too 

 glad to be with us, that the association 

 wants a local in Maryland, and wants 

 us to be represented in Cleveland when 

 the organization is made permanent. 

 You all know J. Fred Ammann. He is 

 an ex-president of the S. A. F. and is 

 willing to come from Edwardsville, 111., 

 because he has something good to offer 

 his brother florists in Baltimore. Be- 

 fore the meeting I shall mail to every 

 member some literature on this new 

 move. Study this and come to the meet- 

 ing. We want 100 per cent nttendanoe.
