The Florists^ Review 



Adoust 25, 1921 



nection with the ladies' garden club, 

 the ladies' aid society or whatever 

 other society in your town is working 

 for the advancement of horticulture. 



Garden Clubs Will Help. 



Garden clubs are springing up today 

 all over the country. The love of grow- 

 ing flowers and beautifying the streets 

 and parks of the small town is increas- 

 ing almost daily, due to the action of 

 these garden clubs. Local florists do 

 not tie up to the wonderful publicity 

 these clubs are getting for the splendid 

 work they are doing and will continue 

 to do. Even the large show in New 

 York last year is an indication of the 

 tremendous work they could do in a 

 smaller town, where the interest would 

 be widespread on account of the show 

 being a purely local proposition. 



I have talked to dozens of these gar- 

 den clubs in different parts of the coun- 

 try and I say today, wo have an asset 

 in those ladies' garden clubs that is the 

 biggest thing in horticulture, yet in 

 many instances you will find florists in 

 the same town that know nothing about 

 the organization. iVsk about it and 

 they will say, "I believe such a club 

 was started, but I never heard much 

 about it since." Show a live interest 

 in them and their work; help them in 

 every possible way in staging their 

 flower shows, and you will find it will 

 come back to you a hundredfold. 



Think of being paid real money to 

 help people to a healthier, freer, saner 

 view of life. Think of "cashing in" 

 on the fact that every one likes beauti- 

 ful thing^and show me if you can find 

 any industry that can make money and 

 elevate and improve its customers at 

 the same time. Is the flower show an 

 aid to publicity! Most decidedly, yes! 

 Does a flower show pay, gentlemen? 

 Once more, yes! 



GROWERS IN CONFERENCE. 



Officers and members of the National 

 Flower Growers' Association held a con- 

 ference Tliursday morning, August 18, 

 at convention liall, Washington. The 

 discussion covered ways and means of 

 increasing the membership and the ques- 

 tion of revising the schedule of dues. 

 Progress has ])een rapid in some states, 

 particularly Ohio, where Carl Hagen- 

 hurgor, the state chairman, has been 

 untiring in his efforts to organize the 

 state thoroughly. He brought a list of 

 Oliio growers wlio now are members, as 

 evidence of his success. The total 

 showed 127 members, operating alto- 

 gether 2,248,000 square feet of glass and 

 having paid $3,756 into the treasury. 



The list of Mr. Hagenburgcr of the 

 Ohio members, the glass area of each

MOTT-LY MUSINGS 



CONVENTION ECHOES. 



Another annual gathering of the 

 elans has passed, with its reunion of 

 the veterans in the trade, together with 

 the younger members, who promise to 

 continue the good work, in which our 

 fair daughters of Eve are taking a 

 larger interest each year. Many familiar 

 faces were missed among the absent 

 members, who will undoubtedly find 

 both pleasure and profit in the perusal 

 of the general report, as appearing in 

 The Eeview, and will moreover more 

 easily digest the substance, owing to 

 the absence of the many counter attrac- 

 tions offered those who attended. 



From the murmurings heard among 

 the exhibitors, it appears there was lit- 

 tle opportunity for transacting busi- 

 ness. Describing the action of the 

 darky who announced the meetings 

 through a large megaphone, E. R. White, 

 of the Skinner Irrigation Co., compared 

 it to thunder preceding a rain storm, in 

 the point that, just when a prospective 

 customer was being lined up, so to 

 speak, the roar broke the charm and 

 the prospect of rain, as it were, banished 

 for the present the need of a sprinkler. 

 Several exhibitors greeted the mega- 

 phone artist with ironical cheers at each 

 appearance. It seemed to be the gen- 

 eral opinion that one day should be set 

 apart purely for business. 



The boat excursion to Mount Ver- 

 non was the grand climax to what may 

 be well described as a successful social 

 gathering. About 1,000 persons made 

 the trip. Delightful weather enabled 

 all to enjoy to the full the bountiful 



refreshments provided by our hosts, the 

 Washington Florists' Club. Then took 

 place the presentation of a chest of 

 silver to our retiring president, Thomas 

 Roland, by William F. Gude, who, in a 

 brief and concise speech, compared the 

 recipient with the immortal Washington 

 in character and as a leader of the craft. 

 At the same time Mrs. Gude presented 

 Mrs. Asmus with a ring. Standing in 

 front of the residence of the great pa- 

 triot, with Old Glory waving overhead, 

 the scene was highly impressive. 



The grounds at Mount Vernon were 

 found to be in fine shape. J. J. Hess, of 

 Omaha, was overheard to remark that 

 the boxwood surpassed the famous 

 hedges at Versailles as seen by him 

 when there. W. A. Manda named the 

 splendid magnolia trees of which many 

 scarce and rare kinds are there, noting 

 also a grand old hemlock spruce, Abies 

 canadensis, standing as a sentinel at 

 the entrance to the garden, which was 

 computed to have been planted when 

 the grounds were first laid out. 



The return trip was all too short. 

 Everyone was getting better acquainted 

 and telling experiences. For instance, 

 J. L. Lewis, of Lockport, N. Y., an 

 ardent golfer, described the game of 

 African golf, as heard by himself and 

 ladies, outside the bedroom window one 

 warm night. Fred A. Danker explained 

 that, owing to pressure of several kinds, 

 he was the sole representative from Al- 

 bany, when a hundred were looked for. 



Peter Brown, of Lancaster, Pa., in 

 commenting upon the glorious weather 

 at Washington, stated that, owing to 

 the heat during July, the loss among
