PBOGBAM AT INDIANAPOLIS. 



Crowds Two Days. 



The tentative program arrauged for 

 ihe convention of the Florists' Tele- 

 graph Delivery Association, at Indian- 

 apolis October 12 and 13, is packed so 

 full of interesting matter that the ses- 

 sions are scheduled to start early in the 

 morning and last until bedtime. There 

 are to be three sessions on each of the 

 two days, morning, 9 to 12:30; after- 

 noon, 2:30 to 6, and evening, 8 to 10:30, 

 Something is on the program for each 

 one of these sessions, and it is quite well 

 known that an F, T. D. meeting is full 

 of interest even when nothing is pro- 

 grammed beforehand, since live discus- 

 sion crops up on every hand. As Secre- 

 tary Pochelon says regarding the sched- 

 ule below, "there will be other mat- 

 ters to come up in a spontaneous way 

 which cannot be known in advance." 



The preliminary program, given be- 

 low, will be laid before the board of 

 directors of the association, which will 

 hold an afternoon and evening session 

 the day before the convention opens. 

 Some changes and additions may be 

 made at that time. 



The meetings are open to all retail 

 florists, whether members of the F. T. 

 D. or not, and to other persons inter- 

 ested in the trade. All the sessions will 

 be held in the main assembly hall of 

 the Claypool hotel, at Indianapolis.
