The Florists' Review 



FxBBUABX 23, 1922 



DES MOINES, lA. 



Club Meeting. 



The l^'loral Arts Club lield its regular 

 meeting Tuesday evening, February 14, 

 at Harris Emery's tea room, Des Moines, 

 la. Following the dinner the president 

 of the club, F. J. Wright, introduced 

 Professor S. A. Beach, dean of horti- 

 culture at Iowa State College, as speaker 

 of the evening. Professor Beach gave a 

 most interesting and instructive talk 

 on "Vocational Training for the Floral 

 Arts." He told of the early struggle 

 for education along vocational lines, 

 when students had to take so much 

 work that was foreign to the course they 

 desired. .Now, he said, all roads lead to 

 the goal and the seeker after knowledge 

 is not burdened by having to pursye 

 studies not pertaining to his particular 

 line. 



Professor Voltz, of the horticultural 

 department at Ames University, spoke 

 briefly of the need for more careful la- 

 beling of plants, trees and shrubs in 

 public gardens. 



L. E. Foglesong, landscape artist for 

 the state executive council, described 

 in part the plans for the new perennial 

 garden on the capitol grounds. It is 

 to comprise 9,000 square feet of space 

 and to contain about 10,000 plants, all 

 of which are to be carefully labeled. 



At the January meeting of the club, 

 J. W. Ash offered a purse of 500 coins 

 for the best display of flowers at this 

 meeting. Miss M. McMillan, of the 

 Guthrie-Lorenz Co., was tlie only en- 

 trant. She sent a beautiful collection 

 of corsages, it being ladies' night at the 

 club. When the purse was opened, it 

 proved a real curiosity, being composed 

 of 500 cowries. The cowry is the coin 

 of smallest value known in any mone- 

 tary system. Mr. Ash had at one time 

 been in Y. M. C. A. work in the British 

 Indies, where the coin is the medium of 

 exchange. The ladies received the cor- 

 sages and Miss McMillan generously 

 shared the contents of the purse with 

 all present. Perle B. Fulmer.
