 program Tuesday afternoon was the 

 election of officers, which resulted as 

 follows: 



President — Harold ^I. Joy, Nashville. 



Vice-president^E. A. Morriam, Chat- 

 tanooga. 



Secretary-treasurer — Ci. M. Bentley,

 sented Secretary Bentley Tuesday after- 

 noon by W. Cleveland Johnson, on be- 

 half of the association, in recognition 

 of his splendid services during the eight 

 years of the association's existence. 



Many Good Addresses. 



Several addresses of much interest 

 and merit followed. Philip Foley, of 

 the Foley Greenhouse Mfg. Co., Chicago, 

 spoke on "New Features of Greenhousi; 

 Construction." His address appears in 

 full elsewhere in this issue. 



His experiences while in attendance 

 at the S. A. F. convention at Washing- 

 ton in August were related bv Edward 

 C. Truitt, of Franklin. Tenn." 



The remarks of Charles L. Baum, of 

 Knoxville, Tenn., on the ])Ossibilities of 

 bulb growing in tlic south were heard 

 with a great deal of interest. Mr. 

 Baum has about twenty-live acres in 

 bulbs at Knoxville and several million 

 gladiolus bulbs have been dug this au- 

 tumn. Other kinds of bulbs may be 

 grown to advantage also, and ini]iorta- 

 tions from Eurojie may be siij)plante(l 

 by native stock in a few years in other 

 bulbs as well as gladiolus. Mr. Baum 's 

 remarks are given in full on anoth(>r 

 page. 



Generous Hosts. 



Chattanooga llorists were generous 

 hosts and their entert.ainnient ])roved to 

 be most enjoyable. Tiie evening of No- 

 vember 1 was given over to a theater 

 party, at which the theatrical program 

 was not of more inijiortance than was 

 the flower show that was to be seen at 

 the Tivoli theater. 



The afternoon of Xovenilior 2, after 

 business and ••ulilresses had been con- 

 cluded in the morning, was d(!Voted to 

 a trip to Lookout mountain, 0!i which 

 the visitors were the guests of the local 

 florists. The site of the Battle above 

 the Clouds w;is of course of much in- 

 terest to those who knew the history of 

 the Civil war and especially that part 

 which related to the military campaigns 

 in these parts. 



The two days' hospitality concluded 

 with a dinner dance at the Hotel Patten, 

 at which again the Chattanooga florists 



were the hosts. The liberality and cor- 

 diality of the local members of the 

 trade were matters of frequent and ap- 

 preciative comment. 



Who's Who. 



Tliis fact warrants remark on the 

 S2>lendid work of the Chattanooga flo- 

 rists, organized but a few months for 

 just this end in view. The Tennessee 

 State Florists' Association, in addition 

 to its other performances, may be said 

 to liave engaged in missionary work. 

 When it was found that its early meet- 

 ings in Nashville had had so noteworthy 

 an influence in promoting the organiza- 

 tion of the local members of the trade, 

 it was decided to meet in other cities, 

 so as to spread the beneficent influence. 

 Chattanooga had no florists' club a year 

 ago. To prepare for this meeting, one 

 was organized. Grant A. Kimmel, man- 

 ager of the Haeger Floral Co., was 

 elected president; John Karsten, vice- 

 president; James J. Farrell, of the Vol- 

 unteer Floral Shop, secretary, and Mrs. 

 Edith Goetz, treasurer. Committees 

 were formed, under Mr. Kimmel 's direc- 

 tion, to effect the preparations for the 

 convention. The heads of these com- 

 mittees were as follows: Convention 

 and exhibits, James J. Farrell; enter- 

 tainment and also finance, Mrs. Edith 

 Goetz; transportation, L. J. Spence, of 

 the Haeger Floral Co.; hotels, E. A. 

 Merriam, of Forest Hills cemetery; 

 decorations. Day McAmis, of the Mc- 

 Amis Greenhouses. The work rested on 

 u few shoulders, since a city of 60,000 

 lias not a great many florists, but the 

 slioulders on which it rested were highly 

 capable ones. 



The Visitors. 



The attendance was of the usual en- 

 thusiastic strength at this association's 

 meetings. The number from out of the 

 state was particularly noteworthy. A
