The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 23. 1922 



planned art- cliiofiy matters of detail, 

 in order to permit three growers to 

 take the ])laees of the three retailers 

 who retire from the board of direetors. 

 These amendments will l)e voted upon 

 at a meetinjj of members of the Allied 

 Florists' Association to be held next 

 month. 



The meetinfi of the Illinois State Flo- 

 rists' Association, at Urbana, the two 

 preceding days was reported on by Jo- 

 seph Kohout, who had been reelected 

 president of the state organization. 

 Mr. Kohout referred to the valuable 

 papers presented at the meeting, which 

 were published in last week's issue of 

 The Review, and he described some of 

 the interesting experiments being car- 

 ried on at the state university. 



In the absence of W. J. Keimel, who 

 is chairman of the committee on Chi- 

 cago day at the national flower show at 

 Inilianapolis, Joseph Kohout told of the 

 preparations to make this a big event, 

 lie particularly appealed to the grow- 

 ers to send exhibits, since it would be 

 necessary for the Chicago market to 

 make a big showing to maintain its 

 reputation as the leading flower cen- 

 ter of the country. Since Cleveland 

 and St. Louis are ex])ected each to send 

 two carloads of plants and flowers, he 

 iK'lieved that Chicago growers ouglit to 

 exceed, or at any rate equal, this show- 



Some of the licpiid glazing compoiiiHls 

 on the market, their composition and 

 their qualities, good or l)ad, were de- 

 scribed by II. 0. Frey, manager of the 

 greenhouse supi)lies department of the 

 McCallum Co., Pittsburgh. lie con- 

 cluded 'his remarks by s])eaking on the 

 local advertising campaigns undertak- 

 en by florists in various communities 

 and referred to the opj)ortunities of 

 the C'liicago growers in the local caiii- 

 liaign. 



Discussion of the projiosed ch;ni};(' in 

 the local jmblicity c;im])aign led oft' 

 with u rei)ort from .\. Setterberg, who 

 is doing some field work among Ttic 

 ^irowers at jiresent. He stated that he 

 hail found those he visited strongly in 

 favor of the growers' assuming direc- 

 tion of the local advertising. He as- 

 serted that, as a rule, the growers he 

 met voluntarily expressed their a|i 

 |>roval of the increase in their contri- 

 li'ilion from one-half to oui} ]ier cent. 

 Tliere followed some interchange of 

 ojtinion as to the methods to bi" juir- 

 sued in making the (diange most cfTec 

 tive. It seemed the ultimate opinion 

 that the executive lioard was making; 

 satisfactory j)rogress in the right di 

 rection. 



Since Otto .Xiiiling's term on tiic 

 lioard of directors of the Allied Flo- 

 rists' Associ;ttion expires this month 

 and three aiiditional growers are re- 

 quired to fill the ])laces to be vacatcul 

 by the retailers, nominations were made 

 to till four seats. The names jiroposed 

 were Otto .\niling, A. H. Scdiiieider, 

 Henry Wcdirman, (ieorge Ilarrer, E. H. 

 Hlameiiser and Kudol])h flllsworth. Bal- 

 loting resulted in the selection of Otto 

 .Vniliny, A. H. Scdmeiiier and Henry 

 Welirman and in a tie between (ieorge 

 Harrer and Rudolph Kllsworth. which 

 was settled by the latter withdrawing 

 in favor of Mr. Harrer. These names, 

 therefore, will be presented for the ]io- 

 sitions of directors at the coming meet- 

 ing of the Allied Florists' Association.
