The Florists^ Review 



NOVEMBEB 23, 1920 



phis last week, for the meeting of the 

 progressive Tennessee State Florists' 

 Association. 



John Poehlmann, treasurer of Poehl- 

 mann Bros. Co. and manager of the city 

 stores, was there with C. J. Nielsen, one 

 of the supply department salesmen, and 

 a fine exhibit of cut flowers. Mr. Poehl- 

 mann went thence to New Orleans for 

 a couple of days, while Mr. Nielsen went 

 to Burlington, la., to meet his wife, who 

 was with relatives near there. 



Paul R. Klingsporn spent three days 

 at Memphis in the interest of the Chi- 

 cago Flower Growers' Association, re- 

 turning home to find the pride of the 

 family, 2^ years old, under the care 

 of the doctor. It proved to be only a 

 cold. 



William A. Hansen, of the Amling 

 Co., spent Monday and Tuesday at the 

 show at Council Bluflfs, Wednesday and 

 Thursdajy at Memphis and Friday at 

 St. Louis. 



Eric Johnson, manager of the cut 

 flower department of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., also had an exhibit for the sup- 

 ply department. Probably that fact 

 had nothing to do with it, but Mr. John- 

 son returned November 20 suffering 

 with a severe cold. 



A. Miller and I. Rosnosky repre- 

 sented the A. B. C. Mr. Miller read 

 a paper to the convention. There are 

 those who say it was the best of many 

 good ones. 



Want an Apprentice? 



At the meeting of the Commercial 

 Flower Growers of Chicago November 

 18 a communication from the Federal 

 Board for Vocational Education was 

 read, offering to greenhouse men in this 

 vicinity the opportunity to place slight- 

 ly disabled men at work as apprentices 

 at nominal, if any, wage. The board 

 pays, in the Chicago district, $100 per 

 month to such men, so that they are not 

 dependent upon their earnings and a 

 grower may pay just what he thinks 

 such services are worth. The board's 

 letter read as follows: 



The Federal Board for Vocational Education, 

 providing training for former gervlce men who 

 haye been disabled. Is desirous of placing men In 

 greenhouses about Chicago. If a man has had 

 any previous experience in this line or seems 

 adapted to it, the Federal Board is anxious to 

 teach him this line of business thoroughly. Em- 

 ployers may pay a person in training whatever 

 they feel he is worth. The board pays a single 

 man in training in Chicago $100 a month; bo he 

 is not dependent on his work for a livelihood. 

 Anybody who has any openings where a man may 

 learn "on the job" will confer a favor on the 

 board by Informing it of that fact. Telephone 

 Harrison 8940 and ask for Mr. Rich.

Growers' Meeting. 



A handful of the "old faithfuls" 

 made a quorum at the meeting of the 

 Commercial Flower Growers of Chicago 

 at the Hotel Randolph Thursday eve- 

 ning, November 18, but not much more. 

 The cold weather and the nearness of 

 Thanksgiving kept most of the mem- 

 bers home. On this account the impor- 

 tant matters which came up for consid- 

 eration were tabled or held over until 

 the next meeting. The addition of one- 

 eighth of one per cent to the one-half 

 now collected on growers' returns, as a 

 means of paying their dues to the local 

 and national growers' organizations, 

 was tabled until it could be learned 

 whether the national body would take 

 action in revising its schedule of dues 

 at the Washington meeting in January. 

 The matter of compensation for the 

 secretary, brought up by President Ko- 

 hout, was postponed for action at the
