Montgomery's Priscilla 



That's the name of the new pink rosel The name will be Priscilla probably after the public has had it a while, 

 but we have had to add the prefix to cover the rules of nomenclature. 



In order to get someone who knows more about roses than we do to give an unbiased, honest opinion on the merits of 

 this rose, we have placed 12 plants of it with each of the following rose growers:

A. N. PIERSON, Inc., Cromwell, Conn. 



Gabriel Wessaneaur, president of the 

 Pittsburgh Retail Florists' Association. 

 Each of the presidents spoke on the 

 benefits of the association and urged 

 everyone present to be at least a mem- 

 ber of one of these societies. James Mc- 

 Laughlin, of the Cleveland McCallum 

 Co., also state vice-president of Ohio 

 of the S. A. F., made a few remarks con- 

 cerning the national flower show, to be 

 licld in Cleveland next year. 



Tlie toastmaster, after a few remarks, 

 introduced Mr. Weisman, who was asked 

 to tell tlie florists something about fer- 

 tilizers. The speaker remarked that the 

 subject was a delicate one, especially 

 after just having eaten such a nice 

 nieal. However, Mr. Weisman is to l)e 

 complimented on the manner in which 

 lie explained the necessity for fertilizers 

 and tlie caution that he gave on sub- 

 stitutes. 



Herman P. Knoble, of Cleveland, O., 

 w;is then introduced and, after a few 

 brief remarks concerning the manage- 

 ment of the retail stores, he read a paper 

 which he had prepared concerning a 

 trial balance, showing the florists the 

 advantage of keeping a record of their 

 overhead expenses. Mr. Knoble brought 

 out plainly that it was essential tliat 

 even the smallest florist should know his 

 actual costs. From all indications, Mr. 

 Knoble has one of the finest svsteiiis of 

 accounting in the retail florists' stores. 

 He should be commended upon endeavor- 

 ing to educate tlio other florists 

 along this line. He not only brought 

 out the fact that the florists should 

 watch their expenses, but also 

 showed in his statement that it was 

 necessary for tlie majority of business 

 houses to borrow money from the 

 bank in order to meet their obligations, 

 in order at all times to keep their buy- 

 ing power in good standing. 



Professor Wilde, of the Pennsylvania 

 State College, was the next speaker for 

 the evening and in his talk he endeav- 

 ored to show the florists the relation of 

 the college to the gr.aduate. He brought 

 out the fact that in many cases when a 

 man graduates from college liis em- 

 ployer expects too much and he made an
