laws and the roster of the club's mem- 

 bership, reported that both were on the 

 press and would be ready for distribution 

 at the next meeting of the club. N. 

 Oberfeld filed application for member- 

 ship. 



It was decided that the February 

 meeting should be the annual carnation 

 meeting. The showing of miscellaneous 

 stock will also be featured. The exhibi- 

 tion will be in charge of the trustees. A 

 rising vote of thanks was extended the 

 W. A. Smith Wholesale Floral Co. for the 

 use of the meeting rooms. By a full vote 

 of the members present it was decided 

 that President W. A. Rowe should attend 

 the executive board meeting of the S. A. 

 P. at Washington as a director under 

 affiliation. 



Joseph Hill, of Richmond, Ind., was 

 present and gave the members an inter- 

 esting talk on his western trip, from 

 which he was just returning. W. See, 

 federal tax specialist, was next intro- 

 duced by President Rowe for a talk on 

 income taxes, which are of great impor- 

 tance to all the trade. The members 

 present learned much from Mr. See 's 

 talk, and he had nianj' questions to an- 

 swer after he finished speaking. He was 

 •extended a vote of thanks. J. F. Am- 

 mann, secretary of the National Flower 

 Growers' Association, was the next 

 speaker, and he gave the members good 

 advice on publicity. 



The rule adopted by the publicity com- 

 mittee, that all attending members must 

 wear a flower at the ineetiug or pay a 

 fine of 10 cents into the fund, was fully 

 discussed and on motion was adopted. 

 Treasurer Smith's report showed a 

 healthy condition of finances. Owing to 

 the lateness of the hour, the usual inter- 

 esting question box was omitted and the 

 meeting adjourned until February 10. 



Various Notes. 



The dance given by the Florists' Club 

 at Westminster hall January 14, in char<;i' 

 of the trustees, Messrs. Baumann, Rut! 

 and Bourdet, was a grand success in 

 every way and there was a splendid 

 crowd i»ri'sont, which was made up mostly 

 of the younger set. Tlie hall was nicely 

 decorated for the occasion and all present 

 spent a jileasant evening. It was an- 

 nounced that the next florists' dance 

 would be given by the "Say It with 

 Flowers" bowling league sometime next 

 month. The date and place will be an- 

 nounced later by a committee which will be 

 in charge of the aflfair.
