HEADS GROWERS' ASSOCIATION. 



W. J. Keimel, elected president of the 

 National Flower Growers' Association 

 last week at Cleveland, was born at 

 Stettin, Germany, September 7, 1872. 

 He began as an apprentice with F. 

 Geusen, at Gartz, G^many, October 11, 

 1886. He arrived in the United States 

 June 2, 1888, first working for 

 Smeeton & Coleman, at Little 

 Kock, Ark., and then for W. L. 

 Smith, at Aurora, 111., in 1890. 

 In 1893 he entered the employ of 

 Bassett & Washburn and in 1896 went 

 east, where he worked for L. A. Noe, at 

 Madison, N. J., and Dean & Co., at Lit- 

 tle Silver, N. J. Then he worked back 

 to the west, by way of the J. M. Gas- 

 ser Co., Cleveland, and Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co., Morton Grove, 111. In 1908 he 

 formed Wendland & Keimel, Inc., of 

 which he became treasurer and general 

 manager in 1913. He was married in 

 1902 and has four children. 



Mr. Keimel is a member of all Ma- 

 sonic orders. He is a past president 

 of the Chicago Florists* Club and of 

 the Illinois State Florists' Association. 

 He is a life member and has served 

 as a director of the S. A. F.

SCHOOL GARDENS 



SCHOOL GARDENS REPORT. 



[The report of Benjamin Hammond, chairman 

 of the school gardens committee, presented at the 

 Cleveland convention August 17.] 



The city of Cleveland stands as one 

 Df the first cities in the developing 

 of school gardening, training the grow- 

 ing child in the way of practical use- 

 fulness and beauty. In this work there 

 has been a great development in recent 

 years all over our country and the flo- 

 rists' business has been one which has 

 aided in extending the efforts of school 

 work in plant growing for beauty and 

 neatness. 



The vegetable garden affords prac- 

 tical food supply of no small amount and 

 the use of small parcels of ground has 

 added an estimated value amounting to 

 millions of dollars to the food supply of 

 the nation. 



To encourage this work, your commit- 

 tee has sent the society's pledge of its 

 members. The S. A. F. has realized 

 for thirty years past the importance of 

 this work and as far as means would 

 permit has tried to place itself on record 

 to the effect that its members in every 

 community would assist the school 

 workers to develop the local work. To 

 each commissioner of education of every 

 state or territory we have sent notice 

 to this effect, also to each local school 

 and board of trustees in every town 

 where a member of this society lived. 

 This embraced a national field, from 

 Quebec to San Diego. 



St. Louis is one city of the first class 

 which has done practical work that is 

 in evidence by its results in every sec- 

 tion of the city where an observer goes. 



The window boxes in the great city 

 of New York, where population is 

 crowded into the most congested space 

 from Harlem to Franklin square, are 

 in evidence at this time with the bloom- 

 ing colors of a few plants, showing 

 that humanity under adverse conditions 



appreciates the flowers. In a ride from 

 Boston to the Hudson river by day- 

 light through villages and small cities, 

 small gardens and nicely kept front 

 yards were in evidence all along the 

 line. 



At Beacon, on the Hudson, in Now 

 York state, over 600 scholars in the 

 four public schools took home garden 

 cards, which carried certain prizes for 

 flowers, vegetables, roses and well kept 

 grass plots. To judge these is a big 

 job. The men who gave help were 

 florists. The effect of this work is 

 seen in little spots and bits of ground 

 as well as in the larger yards. 



The Department of Agriculture, at 

 Washington, has taken this garden work 

 up and is issuing considerable illustrated 

 literature with practical advice therein. 



Quebec, Toronto and other Canadian 

 cities are working hard in this line, with 

 good results of practical utility. 



Its Place in National Life. 



The character of any nation de- 

 pends upon the training of its children 

 and this garden work has far-reaching 

 effects in building up good taste, neat- 

 ness and industrious habits. In a great 

 many places local societies are impor- 

 tant factors, but certainly there is no 

 trade or business which can do more 

 to encourage this useful and beneficial 

 service than can that of the professional 

 florist. Go where you may and if you 

 find a florists ' establishment, with its 

 fine sample of well kept flower beds, 

 it leaves a feeling that you would like 

 one similar. 



This is a business which brings to the 

 homes of the community pleasure and 

 beauty. It is an important factor for 

 civilized well-being and what is done to 

 encourage the growing child in this di- 

 rection is practical wisdom and money 

 well spent. 



The S. A. F. is a growing factor for 

 improving the well-being of the people.
