a census of those engaged in the busi- 

 ness who are not members of the club 

 and it is the committee's intention that 

 these shall be members within a short 

 time. Seven of this number were pro- 

 posed at the meeting, even before the 

 committee had got down to work. A 

 ■ignificant fact was that, of the seven 

 members proposed, only one was over 

 40 years, of age. The committee has 

 adopted for its slogan, "Go get 'em." 

 John Nuth, who is a veritable wizard 

 when it comes to seedling chrysanthe- 

 mums, had on exhibition a vase of pom- 

 pons that attracted lots of attention. 

 The exhibition committee was of the 

 •pinion that these were as fine a col- 

 lection of seedlings as they had ever 



been called upon to judge; they award- 

 ed the club's certificate of merit. 



Various Notes. 



One of the most pleasant features of 

 the meeting of the Florists' Club was 

 the presence of our old friend, Robert 

 Halliday, formerly with the I. H. Moss 

 Co. Mr. Halliday has been on the sick- 

 list for seven or eight months, but his 

 recovery is now complete and he is 

 looking as well as he ever did. His 

 phj'sician, however, has ordered him to 

 be in the open air for the next year or 

 two, 80 he has taken the agency for 

 Baltimore and vicinity for the Henry 

 F. Michell Co., of Philadelphia. Now, if 

 any of you want anything that is 

 handled by this house and will call np 



Homewood 1867-J, you will find Bob at 

 the other end of the wire, ready to 

 take care of your requirements, or a 

 postal card to 2310 North Calvert 

 street will bring him to you. We all 

 wish him success in his new venture. 



We have been reading much of late 

 about the enthusiasm displayed by Buf- 

 falo florists in local advertising. They 

 had better look to their laurels, as Balti- 

 more has become infected with the same 

 germ. Jaseph S. Merritt, the young 

 fellow who talks, eats and dreams "Say 

 It with Flowers," is chairman of the 

 local publicity committee, whose busi- 

 ness is to have this slogan placed in 

 every available place in the city. The 

 committee is composed of five young 

 men who do not know how to take "no"
