LOOAI. ABRANGEMENTS. 



Cleveland lived up to its reputation 

 as a city of hard-working florists. Those 

 in whose hands the arrangements had 

 been put spared themselves not at all in 

 their efforts to make the convention a 

 success. 



F. C. W. Brown, vice-president of the 

 S. A. F., kept pushing with his accus- 

 tomed zeal and by dint of that trait got 

 the exhibition hall in shape at the ap- 

 pointed time. 



Of the general committee of arrange- 

 ments, Carl Hagenburger, past-president 

 of the Cleveland Florists' Club, was 

 chairman, and he hustled for the S. A. F. 

 just as he does at West Mentor, where 

 the Cleveland cherries grow. 



In charge of finance were H. P. Kno- 

 ble and H. P. Merrick, president of the 

 Florists' Club, and enough is said when 

 it is stated they raised ample funds for 

 the occasion. 



Charles Schmidt was the able assist- 

 ant to Secretary Young in regard to the 

 trade display. 



Many sung the praises of James A. 

 McLaughlin when they found how well 

 he had taken care of them in the mat- 

 ter of hotel accommodations. After ex- 

 periences last year, some were pessi- 

 mistic regarding possible quarters when 

 they heard of the large attendance. But 

 the able secretary of the local club put 

 his acquaintance with the hotel mana- 

 gers to good avail. 



Entertainment was in the hands of 

 Frank Ritzenthaler and Eobert "Weeks, 

 who did their part well. Decorations 

 were handled by Raymond Kester, John 

 Kirchner and C. W. Kent, and their job 

 was a thorough one. George Bate, as 

 head of the transportation committee, 

 and Charles J. Graham, in charge of the 

 bowling, were also commended on their 

 efforts and results. 



One should not overlook the ladies' 

 efforts to make pleasant thejstay of the 

 gentler members of the trade from other 

 cities. On the introduction committee 

 of the Ladies' S. A. F. served Mrs. 

 Charles Maynard, Mrs. J. A. Peterson, 

 Mrs. Ella Grant Wilson, Mrs. A. H. Aus- 

 tin and Mrs. Witthuhn. On the general 

 welfare committee were Mrs. H. P. Kno- 

 ble, Mrs. E. B. George, Mrs. Frank Pried- 

 ley, Mrs. A. L. Miller and Miss Ida 

 Peterson. The entertainment commit- 

 tee was composed of Mrs. Charles 

 Graham, Mrs. A. M. Herr and Mrs. 

 Philip Foley.

Walter Mott terminated his connec- 

 tion with the W. W. Barnard Co., Chi- 

 cago, at the close of the convention, re- 

 turning to the employ of Benjamin Ham- 

 mond, of Slugshot fame, at Beacon, N. Y.

J. C. Neilsen had just returned, with 

 his wife, from a 5,000-mile western trip 

 in behalf of Poehlmann Bros. Co., Chi- 

 cago, in time to accompany its exhibit 



to Cleveland. 



• • * 



Real class was given to the entrance 

 of the exhibition hall by the tubbed ev- 

 ergreens from Storrs & Harrison Co., 

 Painesville, 0., and the white-clad black 

 man with a cap bearing "Ninth 

 Garage" in gold letters. 



• • * 



Convenience was the keynote, particu- 

 larly for the motoring florists, who could 

 park their cars on the first floor of the 

 Ninth Garage while they viewed the ex- 

 hibition upstairs. 



» • • 



The prevailing odor of fertilizer in 

 the exhibition hall, it is maintained, 



robbed the blooms of their fragrance 

 and the artificial sachet corsages of their 



perfume.

Secretary John Young said that a 

 conservative count of the space sold 

 was 17,000 square feet, the amount at 

 the big Chicago convention, in 1912. But 

 space sold in those days at 40 cents per 

 square foot, and this year at 60 eents, 

 .so that the income was fifty per eent 



greater.

Nobody in the coal business, it trans- 

 pired, cared to address the S. A. P. eon- 

 vention on the fuel situation. Whether 

 they did not wish to make public state- 

 ments or did not dare face an audience 

 of greenhouse men, was not ascertained. 



• • < 



Alex Lurie, who is at present in Cleve- 

 land supervising the city's school gar- 

 dens, and his partner, W. S. Wells, whe 

 came down from Detroit, gave out earde 

 with the advice, "Meet me at the F. 

 T. D. meeting at Indianapolis, October 

 12 and 13." On the other side was Ibekr 

 business address, BluMaize Btossoii 

 Shop, Add Arbov, Mieli.
