SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



The Washington Convention. 



President Roland and Secretary 

 Young were in Washington Wednesday, 

 June Ij when they met with the ad- 

 visory committee on the trade exhibi- 

 tion/ Z. D. Blackistone, David Grill- 

 bortzer and Adolph K. Gude, the latter 

 acting for his father. Vice-president 

 Adoli)h Gude, who was unavoidably 

 absent from the city. It was found 

 that all details in the arrangements for 

 the exhibition were being worked out 

 smoothly, and preparations were up to 

 date in every respect. A visit was 

 made to the convention hall, where it 

 was found that plenty of space would 

 be available to accommodate all appli- 

 cants for space. President Eoland was 

 glad to be assured on this point, as he 

 had been a little in doubt as to the 

 hall's capacity. 



Additions to the list of exhibitors are 

 constant, and the prospects are that the 

 entire area as laid off on the official 

 plan will be taken up before the con- 

 vention opens. The following exhib- 

 itors have made space reservations 

 within the past few days: 



Talyo Trading Co., New York. 



Horticultural PublisliinK Co., Boston. Mass. 



Cohen & Hiller, New York. 



Kervan Co., New York. 



0. S. Ford Co., Philadelphia. 



Poultry Feed Co., Chicago. 



While in Washington, the secretary 

 was pleased to meet Past-presidents 

 liobert Craig and Theodore Wirth, and 

 others of our members who have been 

 ])rominent in the work of the society in 

 the past. Judge William F. Gude, our 

 Washington representative, while busy 

 with the duties of his new office, found 

 time, as usual, to escort the visitors to 

 the various public departments requir- 

 ing their attention, thus saving much 

 valuable time. In the afternoon the 

 garden of Dr. Van Fleet, at Bell Sta- 

 tion, was visited, and the doctor's 

 work in ro^•e jiroduction proved highly 

 impressive. The new roses there, some 

 of them especially beautiful, should 

 ])rove valuable acquisitions to the list 

 of commercial varieties. It is learned 

 that these new roses will be sent out 

 through the mcJiuiii of the American 

 Hose Society. 



Past-vice-president George W. Hess, 

 superintendent of the United States 

 Botanical Garden, also devoted much 

 time to the visitors, escorting them to 

 various places of interest horticultur- 

 ally. 



The Convention Program. 



The official program for the conven- 

 tion is now in course of preparation 

 and will be completed for mailing to 

 members at least thirty days before the 

 opening date of the convention. Some 

 interesting addresses have already been 

 arranged for, including one by F. J. 

 Giblin, of Utiea, N. Y., on ' ' Greenhouse

TO OUR BROTHER FLORISTS: 



FLOWERS AND CO-OPERATION 



Let us learn from the flowers the lesson of co-operation, A «ngle 

 flovrer, growing alone, makes no great show. Many flowers, grow- 

 ing in harmony, will transfigure even a desert.
