NATIONAL FLOWER SHOW. 



Committee Meets at Cleveland. 



A meeting of the national flower show- 

 committee was held in the Hotel Cleve- 

 land, Cleveland, O., Thursday and Fri- 

 day, November 17 and 18. There were 

 present: George Asmus, Chicago, chair- 

 man, who presided; Thomas Eoland, Na- 

 hant, Mass.; Secretary John Young, 

 New York; Herman P. Knoble, Cleve- 

 land; Frank H. Traendly, New York; 

 Wallace R. Pierson, Cromwell, Conn.; 

 Joseph H. Hill, Eichmond, Ind.; A. F. J. 

 Baur, secretary of the American Carna- 

 tion Society, Indianapolis, Ind.; William 

 H. Duckham, Madison, N. J.; Patrick 

 Welch, Boston, Mass., and S. S. Pennock, 

 representing the American Rose Society, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



The proceedings opened at 10 a. ni. 

 Thursday, November 17. Matters in 

 relation to the cooperation of the 

 American Rose Society in the show were 

 discussed and the standing of the society 

 in the connection determined upon. 

 Similar action was taken in regard to 

 the cooperation of the American Carna- 

 tion Society. H. P. Knoble read a brief 

 report covering the activities of the 

 various local committees. 



Liinclieon with Rotarians. 



The foregoing business occupied the 

 time of the meeting until adjournment 

 for luncheon, when the committee, with 

 the local chairmen, were guests of the 

 Rotary Club. The luncheon was a most 

 enjoyable function. Addresses were 

 made by Chairman Asmus, President 

 Roland, Secretary Young and others, 

 and, with the usual Rotary proceedings 

 on such occasions, two hours were 

 pleasantly passed. The guests were 

 introduced by H. B. Jones, of the Jones- 

 Russell Co., Cleveland, who made the 

 arrangements for their entertainment. 



Promptly at 2 p. m. the committee re- 

 convened and there were present at this 

 session the following chairmen of the 

 local committees: George L. Mercer, 

 printing; R. P. Brydon, aquarium; Carl 

 Hagenburger, local exhibits; George 

 Bate, out-of-town exhibits; William H. 

 Temblett, exterior decorating; Fred G. 

 Witthuhn, information bureau; A. D. 

 Taylor, interior decoration; Al. Barber, 



special features; F. C. W. Brown, ad- 

 vertising; Walter E. Cook, concessions; 

 J. A. McLaughlin, special premiums. 



On motion of H. P. Knoble, a vote of 

 thanks was passed to H. B. Jones for the 

 fine publicity feature scored through his 

 efforts in connection with the luncheon 

 of the Rotary Club. On motion of S. S. 

 Pennock, it was voted that a letter of 

 appreciation of their hospitality be sent 

 to the Rotary Club, through the Society 

 of American Florists, and that a $25 

 bouquet of flowers be sent with the vote 

 of thanks to the club's president, Clif- 

 ford E. Pierce. 



Committee Reports. 



F. C. W. Brown, for the advertising 

 committee, made a full report, which in- 

 cluded the publicity work engaged in to 

 date. Advertising stickers, he said, 

 would be ready December 1 and the 

 sheet posters could be procured in Cleve- 

 land. As expenditures for these pur- 

 poses were not covered in the original 

 appropriation, Mr. Brown was requested 

 to prepare a statement as to approxi- 

 mate costs for presentation at a later 

 session of the committee. 



R. P. Brydon, for the aquarium com- 

 mittee, reported satisfactory arrange- 

 ments, in which the local aquarium 

 society was joining. He said that his 

 committee was trying to keep well with- 

 in the original appropriation of $500 for 

 this feature of the show. 



Fred G. Witthuhn, in reporting for 

 the bureau of information, assured the 

 committee that information of every 

 sort likely to be required by visitors 

 would be forthcoming. On motion of 

 Mr. Hill, the sum of $300 was voted to 

 this committee, the same, however, not 

 to include the expense of telephone serv- 

 ice and installation. 



Walter E. Cook reported for the com- 

 mittee on concessions, stating that it 

 was contemplated to have a small _res- 

 taurant stand, a soda fountain and a 

 soft drink booth. Mr. Knoble suggested 

 that a booth for the sale of flowers be 

 installed, the same to be in charge of a 

 man who should be paid for his serv- 

 ices. On motion of Mr. Hagenburger, it 

 was ordered that sucli a stand be ar- 

 ranged for. 



William H. Temblett reported on 

 plans evolved by the committee on ex- 

 terior decoration and it was arranged 

 that the matter of a suitable appropria- 

 tion should come up at a later session 

 of the committee. At Mr. Temblett 's 

 request, he was, on motion of Mr. Ro- 

 land, given permission to work in con- 

 junction with a local nurseryman to- 

 ward the installation of a landscape 

 exhibit at the north end of the exhibi- 

 tion hall, the space for the purpose to 

 be given free to any responsible and 

 competent person for the purpose. 



A. D. Taylor, for the committee on 

 interior decoration, reported that his 

 committee would require to know what 

 appropriation would be available for 

 interiar decoration before a definite 

 scheme could be laid out and some in- 

 formation ought to be forthcoming as 

 to entries for the big garden displays. 

 Mr. Taylor was advised that a suitable
