 liiiiinary pl.an foi' a <'liic;igo Florists' 

 Club wlii(di wiiuld unite the i ndepciulent 

 local orga niz.at ions into (Uie effect i\c 

 ami vigorous body. His address is pub 

 lishi'd in this issue (d' The Ke\ iew. 



.\ boiii|net of wooden (lowers on the 

 speakers' table brought u|i a discussion 

 of the use of artificial flowi'rs b\- retail 

 tlorists. The exhibit pro\ed to have 

 been brought by Peter Pearson for the 

 purpose of ;ir<iusing talk on this sub 

 .ject. He deidaied the use of artificial 

 material w.as harmful to the trade as ;i 

 whoh'. Otto .\niling st.ated his belief 

 that the S. .\. F. shioild take action to 

 discourage its use. T. Iv W.aters de- 

 (dared that artificial flowers could be 

 dis]d;iccc| b\- the natiii'al by the more 

 \ igorous support of' the national adver- 

 tising campaign and actixe measures in 



bidi.alf of their jirodticts by the growers. 

 He pointed out that, however, there wa> 

 a decided difference between ,a rl i lie i.a I 

 llower> and prepareil t'ol i.-iges. Iiaii~
