the saiiii- wiiy, via Rit-hiuoiiil, Tiiri., and 

 St. Louis, after tlioir stay lu'ri-. 



Entering the Clark stri-t't Automat 

 for ii I'U]) of coffee the other afternoon, 

 the eouipiler of this column found our 

 forujcr fellow townsman, .lohii Rear- 

 don, now of Ames, Ja. "We liave me- 

 chanical milkers out in Iowa," (|Uoth 

 he, ''but no mechanical waitresses; I 

 was just looking it over to see how it 

 works." 



KANSAS CITY, MO. 



The Market. 



Funeral work nearly swamjied some 

 of the retail shops the f^reater part of 

 last week. The market supjilied j)lenty 

 of good stock to meet all the demands. 

 Sevej-al cool days and plenty of rain 

 have" brought roses to the best stage of 

 the season. Home-grown asters are 

 good. Some of the stock sliipped in is 

 of fancy grade and l)rings a to]) price. 



The 1922 Convention. 



There is great rejoicing over the se- 

 lection of Kansas City as the ne.xt meet- 

 ing jilace of the S. A. F. The good 

 Hews was first received in the following 

 telegram to the Florists' Club: 



"The Society of Americjin Florists, 

 in convention asseml)led, by a un.ani- 

 mous AOte, lun'e invited themselves to 

 hold the thirty-eighth annual conven- 

 tion" in Kansas City. Please govern 

 yourselves accordingly." Sign<'d, John 

 Young, secretary. 



The following reply was immediately 

 wired: ".John "\'oung, secretary. Con- 

 vention hall, Washington, D. C.: (ireet- 

 ings and best wislies to the S. A. F. now 

 in convention .MssembliMl. Your decision 

 in selecting K.'insas City as the meeting 

 plaei^ for the thirty-eighth annual con- 

 vention nieels with our hearty a])])roval. 

 Every effort at our command will be 

 used, to make this convention a gre;it 

 success. Please accei)t thanks and a])- 

 preoiation. Kansas Citv Florists' (^lul). 

 T. ,1. A'oll. ].resident;' William Wade, 

 secretary. ' ' 



Mr. X(dl feels highly (dated over the 

 results of the first year of the club's 

 existence. He said, "Tf Kansas City 

 had no club, the !S. A. V. would not have 

 considered this as a meeting place. The 

 <lecision is a great compliment to Kan- 

 sas City and a wise one, considering lo- 

 cation. \isitors from all )>arts of the 

 country will come, as this city equalizes 

 the distan<'e from extreme jioints. This 

 convention next year will mark the be- 

 ginning of still greater things for Kan 

 sas Citvifrom a florist's stand]ioint. ' ' 



The election of Sannwd Murray 

 pleased everyone. Mr. Murrav stands 

 high as ,■! citizen as well .as a business 

 man. Any mo\ cnu'nt for the benefit of 

 thi> florists as a whole nu'efs with his 

 hearty coiiperation. He is always re.ady 

 to assist ill excry w;iy.
