WHAT BIG SHOW MEANS. 



To the Trade ajid the World. 



The national flower show is the big 

 horticultural jubilee of the flower lov- 

 ers and producers of America. The 

 S. A. F. and its auxiliary organizations 

 can well be proud of this event that 

 shows our industry in its best dress, 

 bringing down the work of centuries 

 of the world's greatest hybridizers to 

 its present-day state, and we all agree 

 that the advancement in our profession 

 has kept stride with that of any other 

 industry that we know of. When com- 

 parison is made between the varieties 

 of flowers and plants that we are now 

 growing and those of former years, we 

 may, indeed, well be proud of our ac- 

 complishments. Therefore it is fitting 

 that every few yeairs we celebrate when 

 we say to the public: "This is what 

 We have done, this is our work, and we 

 give all to you to enjoy, to plant, and 

 to make life more beautiful. It is our 

 share in the work of making the world 

 niore beautiful and better to live in." 

 Tlius it is that the busiest men in our 

 profession unite in this effort, growing 

 (^specially for this exhibition the best 

 t'ley can, the choicest and rarest of 

 varieties of plants and flowers. That 

 ■'Iso is one of the big reasons that the 

 • ittendance by the trade is many, many 

 ■nnes greater than at any convention 

 T other event in horticultural circles, 

 i'tien, there is the artist, the retailer, 

 vho is planning to do his bit. As 

 ^liakespeare has said, "This is an act 

 '•'at doth mend nature; change it, 

 ■ather, for the art itself is nature." 

 ^nd finished product will be there at its 

 i'cst.

tion has done in the past, something 

 that will portray to the people the work- 

 ings of the wonderful organization. 



Just as necessary as are producer and 

 retailer are the men who have the cre- 

 ating of ideas -and novelties for the re- 

 tailer to use in finisliing the product. 

 Also may be mentioned tlie hundreds of 

 exhibitors in the trade section who will 

 have something to offer, and the build- 

 ers of greenhouses and conservatories, 

 who also are a big factor in the quality 

 of flowers as they are produced today. 

 If the greenhouse builders had not kept 

 pace with the times, no such flowers 

 could have been produced. And so with 

 all of the exhibits. 



The busy florists must depend on trade 

 exhibitions to keep abreast of the times. 

 So I believe you will agree with me that 

 we can well call this wonderful exhibi- 

 tion a jubilee of our profession. The 

 committee having this work in charge 

 will be bitterly disappointed if we do 

 not have 100,000 people or more to see 

 our exhibits. No matter what the ex- 

 pense may be, it will be money well 

 spent to visit this great and trium- 

 phant exposition of your business.

 National Flower Show Committee. 



TOLEDO STARTS CAMPAIGN. 



February 27 J. L. Schiller mailed an 

 invitation to all growers and retail flo- 

 rists in Toledo, O., to attend a banquet 

 at the Waldorf hotel. About forty re- 

 sponded to the invitation. While the 

 banquet was on, some fine musical se- 



lections were rendered by an orchestra 

 procured by F. Schramm. The tables 

 were decorated with individual cut 

 flower vases filled with daffodils and 

 calendulas. 



J. L. Schiller was appointed toast- 

 master by acclamation. Mr. Schiller 

 suggested that all present rise to their 

 feet in token of our sympathy and high 

 esteem for Mr. Bayer, thereby show- 

 ing our willingness to aid and sustain 

 him in the loss of his father, the late 

 George J. Bayer. Everyone responded 

 in silent testimony. 



Mr. Schiller stated the purpose of 

 the meeting as follows: That we agree 

 on a basis of advertising more ex- 

 tensively the sale and use of potted 

 plants and flowers for various uses in 

 Toledo, theteby helping all growers and 

 retailers everywhere; that we use a 

 percentage of our gross income, one 

 or one-half of one per cent, for this 

 purpose; that the meeting be opened 

 for discussion by all present, as to meth- 

 ods and means to be used to procure a 

 working capital; that all personal names 

 of florists be eliminated from the "Say 

 It with Flowers" advertisements in 

 their season; that we discuss how we 

 can best work and best agree to en- 

 courage the public to buy and enjoy 

 more flowers while we live; that, if 

 galoshes be good for nothing else, the 

 open tops be decorated with sweet peas. 

 The last statement brought such ap- 

 plause that Mr. Schiller was obliged 

 to open the meeting for discussion. The 

 questions were liberally discussed from
