The President Calls. 



The twenty-third convention of the 

 Canadian Horticultural Association will 

 be held August 10 to 13 in the beautiful 

 city of Hamilton, Ont., an ideal spot 

 for a summer's outing. This convention 

 promises to be the largest and most 

 important of its kind ever held in 

 Canada. 



The officers and committees have been 

 working diligently all the year in the 

 reconstruction of the organization, and 

 I, as president, appeal to all interested 

 in the profession to show your apprecia- 

 tion by making the attendance a record- 

 breaking one. Make up your mind to 

 be with us. You will be well repaid, 

 as the sessions will be particularly in- 

 teresting and, in meeting and exchang- 

 ing ideas with so many of your fellow 

 craftsmen, you are sure to learn some- 

 thing which will help you in solving the 

 problems of the future. 



The trade exhibit bids fair to be well 

 worth the trip, as ^every available inch 

 of space has been taken in the large 

 hall provided by our Hamilton friends, 

 who are putting forth every effort to 

 give the visitors a royal time. 



Some of our American brothers, 

 leaders in the trade, and also several 

 of our cabinet ministers, have written, 

 saying that they hope to be with us. 



We need closer cooperation; it will 

 be beneficial to all. 



Come, and do not forget to bring the 

 ladies with you, as the reception com- 

 mittee is making special preparations for 

 their entertainment this year. 



On behalf of the association I invite 

 you to join us in making the 1920 con- 

 vention the biggest and best yet. 



Emery B. Hamilton, Pres. 



MOTT-LY MUSINGS

W. W, Trentman, Delphos, O., is de- 

 sirous of making considerable additions 

 to his glass area, made necessary by 

 the expansion ol his business, but is 

 afraid to venture with the coal situa- 

 tion bothering him. 



• • • • 



The Celina Greenhouses, Celina, O., 

 are building up a large shipping trade 

 on roses, carnations and chrysanthemums 

 and a local trade on cyclamens and other 

 pot plants. The manager, S. A. Bons- 

 lag, and the grower, K. Kerr, make a 



good team. 



• • • • 



Buthker Bros, have taken over the 

 McMurray Greenhouses, at Wapakoneta, 

 C, and are well pleased with the first 

 season's experience. The firm comprises 

 two brothers and Mr. Buthker, Sr., who 

 recently arrived from Holland.

Stuhldreher Bros., Mansfield, 0., are 

 giving their place a thorough overhaul- 

 ing in preparation for another prosper- 

 ous season. "There is no doubt that 

 we have the public educated," said C. 

 H. Stuhldreher, manager of the store, 

 who is planning to attend the 8. A. F. 

 convention at Cleveland. The matter 

 of a roosting place will not bother him, 

 as he has friends there who will accom- 

 modate him. 



Frank Adgate, of Adgate & Son, 

 Warren, 0., was putting the finishing 

 touches to an oval basket of green and 

 gold, filled with lilies and larkspur and 

 with a big bow of white chiffon tied 

 on the handle, which was one of sev- 

 eral handsome fioral pieces for a funeral 

 several miles distant, and remarked 

 that it is believed personal service is 

 the secret of success. "For," added 

 Mr. Adgate, "after forty years we 

 have many original patrons still on our 

 books and competition seems to help 

 rather than reduce the volume of busi- 

 ness, as is sometimes supposed. The 

 fact that most of the stock sold is 

 home-grown is a big asset." 



• • • • 



The Park Floral Co., Warren, 0., is 

 well pleased with its first year's expe- 

 rience. A good location and store, kept 

 attractive with fresh stock, are factors 

 that play a large part in the retail 



game.

John Dunston, Niles, 0., reports ex- 

 cellent trade, which has been handled 

 much more easily since his son has 

 taken an active interest in the green- 

 houses. "When dependable, and only 

 in rare instances is it found that they 

 are not, one's own is one's best asset," 

 observed Mr. Dunston.
