OHIO DISTRICT GROWERS. 



The first meeting held outside of 

 Cleveland, O., for the purpose of or- 

 giinizing the growers of the entire state 

 of Ohio was held at Columbus, O., 

 Thursday afternoon, March 3, in the 

 parlor of the Hotel Deshler. The meet- 

 ing was in charge of the temporary 

 olKccrs elected at the (Jleveland meet- 

 ing last November. The Columbus 

 growers were well represented, and a 

 few attended from various other parts 

 of the state. Everyone present joined 

 the association, after hearing the plan 

 for it thoroughly explained to them by 

 the men from Cleveland. Those pres- 

 ent took application blanks with them 

 and promised to get some of their neigh- 

 bors as me«}bers. 



There will be several other meetings 

 held in various sections of the state, in- 

 cluding Youngstown, Toledo, Spring- 

 field, Dayton and Cincinnati, soon after 

 Easter. All flower growers in each of 

 these sections will be invited to attend 

 these meetings for the purpose of learn- 

 ing what this new association of grow- 

 ers will mean to them and why it is to 

 their advantage to become members of 

 it as soon as possible. 



The committee from Cleveland was 

 composed of Carl Hagenburger, "West 

 Mentor, temporary president; F. C. W. 

 Brown, vice-president; George Batet^ 

 temporary secretary and treasurer; 

 Lars Anderson, director, and M. A. Vin- 

 son, who is assisting in the organiza- 

 tion work. T. J. Ludwig, of Columbus, 

 made all the local arrangements for the 

 meeting. George Bate, Temp. Sec'y.
