duced. Mr. Bourdet gave an interest- 

 ing talk on the coming S. A. F. con- 

 vention to be held in New York city 

 and urged that the members of the 

 growers' association join the society. 

 David Scott Geddis also addressed the 

 meeting, his subject being the National 

 Flower Show to be held in St. Louis 

 next April. 



W. C. Smith told of the plans for the 

 florists' picnic and automobile parade 

 on the same day and was promised the 

 cooperation of the association to make 

 the events a success. J. J. Beneke also 

 addressed the meeting. The visitors 

 invited the members of the association 

 to attend in a body the meeting of the 

 St. Louis Florists' Club June 14. The 

 invitation was accepted and the vis- 

 itors thanked. 



The next meeting of the association 

 will be held on a date to be set later, 

 as the regular day is the Fourth of 

 July. 



Flower Show Committee Meets. 



The National Flower Show commit- 

 tee met at the Jefferson hotel June 9 

 and 10 and selected Moolah Temple, 

 3821 Lindell boulevard, as the place 

 for holding the National Flower Show 

 in April, 1918. Besides the temple, a 

 building will be erected on a lot lo5x 



300 feet adjoining it, and will be 

 used to house the exhibits. This action 

 eliminates the Coliseum, where it was 

 at first proposed to hold the show. The 

 change was necessary because of finan- 

 cial difficulties which involved the 

 Coliseum. 



The members of the committee at the 

 meeting were: George Asmus, of Chi- 

 cago, who is the chairman; E. C. Kerr, 

 of Houston, Tex., president; John 

 Young, of New York city, secretary, 

 and J. J. Hess, of Omaha, Neb., treas- 

 urer of the S. A. F.; Patrick Welch, of 

 Boston, Mass.; Adolph Farenwald, of 

 Roslyn, Pa., and A. F. J. Baur, secre- 

 tary of the American Carnation Soci- 

 ety, of Indianapolis, Ind. The com- 

 mittee was met by D. S. Geddis, tem- 

 porary chairman of the local flower 

 show committee, who had made the ar- 

 rangements for the meeting and for the 

 entertainment of the visitors. 



The committee expressed satisfaction 

 with the building selected for the show 

 and with the prospects for a success- 

 ful exhibition. They left for their 

 liomes June 10.
