other cities. He suggested ladies in 

 preference to men as flower sellers in 

 the stores and as being more likely to 

 attract customers and sell flowers. If 

 they succeed in candy stores, why not in 

 flower stores? It was a regrettable fact 

 that a small number of retailers only 

 had a knowledge of floriculture outside 

 of selling a few flowers. The increasing 

 intelligence and knowledge of flower 

 buyers, especially ladies, who are grow- 

 ing more and more discriminating, de- 

 mand something better, according to 

 Mr. Craig. The warm weather added to 

 existing economic conditions and de- 

 pressed business, but retailers in such 

 times should make special efforts to sell 

 flowers at reduced prices. He did not 

 nnd that they were doing so and sug- 

 gested one or two methods for helping 



reduce the congestion. The growers 

 who produced the flowers could do so if 

 they saw fit and would in time put an 

 end to existing conditions. 



Gustave Thomman spoke at length 

 and gave his views as one who had for 

 many years been a grower and was now 

 a newspaper man. He made some valu- 

 able suggestions and said that growers 

 were now combined on the right track 

 and were going to accomplish some- 

 thing. 



G. I. Farrington also spoke as a press 

 representative and urged that some at- 

 tempt at cooperation between retailers, 

 wholesalers and growers be made to 

 solve existing conditions. 



There was an animated discussion 

 participated in by Edward Reid, S. J. 

 Goddard, H. Whittemore, Gordon Fisher, 



William 8im, H. A. Eyan, H. H. Bartsch, 

 Andrew Christensen and others. Many 

 valuable suggestions were made. The 

 association will go ahead with its pub- 

 licity work and is headed in the right 

 direction. 



The meeting was a thoroughly prac- 

 tical one and showed that the growers 

 are determined and in earnest. The 

 next meeting will he held at the Hotel 

 Belk'vue November 26 and publicity 

 will be the subject of the evening. 

 Every grower, whether a member of the 

 association or not, is urged to attend.
