 March 27, to vote appropriation for 

 further advertising in the magazines 



contracted for.

Easterners remarked that whereas the 

 New York show the week before was 

 primarily a private growers' exhibition, 

 they were conspicuous by their absence 

 at Indianapolis. Less than half a dozen 

 amateurs competed.

A conference of the oflScers of the 

 Illinois State Florists' Association dur- 

 ing the show resulted in the decision 

 to hold a fall flower show at Danville 

 next November. It will open a big new 

 armory in Uncle Joe Cannon's town.

One of the few exhibits from the Pa- 

 cific coast was that of the Holdcn Flo- 

 ral Co., Portland, Ore., a vase of Laddie 

 carnations, in excellent condition after 

 their long journey. 



* * • • 



Flowers were not quite the whole 

 show. The alligators of A. Wiegand's 

 Sons Co., the a(|uaria of the state board 

 of conservation, the goldfish from the 

 Grassfork Fisheries, at Martinsville, 

 Ind., and the collection of dried butter- 

 flies assisted. 



* • * * 



A basket of white carnations, grown 

 by M. Leider, Dcs Plaines, 111., was ex- 



hibited by Peter Rcinberg, Inc., Chi- 

 cago. 



• * « * 



Vases of carnations, Thomas C. .loy 

 and Natalie, took places beside those 

 of Betty Jane on the various brokers' 

 desks when Harold Joy arrived from 

 Nashville, Tenn., Monday morning. He 

 reports the large sales of cuttings in a 



pleased tone. 



• * * * 



An exhibit from a distance was that 

 of hydrangeas from J. J. Le Borious, 

 Duluth, Minn. 



• • • * 



The national publicity committee oc- 

 cupied space in a corner of the hall to 

 show the magazine advertising now be- 

 ing done and to accept pledges and con- 

 tributions towards the campaign. Re- 

 ceipts were not heavy. 



• * • * 



The official catalogue of the show, 

 which sold for 15 cents, was an at- 

 tractive booklet of 112 pages and col- 

 ored cover. Articles on flower culture 

 were contributed by C. H. Totty, I. S. 

 Hcndrickson, J. H. Pepper and Arthur 



Herrington.

The college florists' section of the 

 S. A. F. held a meeting Wednesday 

 morning, March 29, at the Indianapolis 

 show. A good proportion of the mem- 

 bers of the section were in attendance. 

 The meeting went on record as indorsing 



a well regulated quarantiae. Those pres- 

 , ent were Prof. A. 8, Thurston, Prof. H. 

 B. Dorner, Prof. V. Reis, Prof. A. C. 

 Hottes, Prof. A. H. Nehrling, Prof. E. J. 

 Wilde, Dr. P. A. Leheribauer and Dr. 



A. (". Beal.

The annual excursion of the floricul- 

 ture students at the University of Illi- 

 nois had the national flower show as its 

 destination this year. Prof. H. B. Dor- 

 ner and S. W. Hall had a dozen stu- 

 dents under their guidance.

Homer Wiegand entertained visiting 

 Kiwanis florists at luncheon at the 

 Claypool hotel Wednesday, March 29.

Baskets of flowers were sent to the 

 mayors of principal cities and to Presi- 

 dent Harding in the name of the mayor 

 of Indianapolis on the opening day of 

 the show. Philips Bros., Newark, N. J., 

 reproduced the telegram carrying the 

 order for Newark's mayor as an adver- 

 tisement in the local newspaper. Much 

 publicity was gained for the show by 

 these floral messages.

On the opening day of the show, the 

 Indianapolis Star appeared with a spe- 

 cial flower show section of fourteen 

 pages, in which florists were liberal ad- 

 vertisers. 



• • • • 



The cut flower display of the E. C. 

 Amling Co., Chicago, occasioned a 

 lengthy story regarding the great cen- 

 tral flower market in the flower show 

 special of the Indianapolis Star. George 

 Mohn gave the reporter plenty of in- 

 formation, though the latter did not in 

 every place quote Mr. Mohn correctly. 



• • • • 



Among the few Pacific coast florists 

 present was Frank L. Morris, now of 

 Santa Ana, Cal.j but formerly of the 

 Hoosier state. He met many old 

 friends, who thought the rejuvenating 

 influence of the Golden State climate 



was to be seen.

Coming from the New York show to 

 Indianapolis, A. Herrington was en- 

 thusiastic over the superior facilities 

 for exhibition purposes of the building 

 which houses the national show. Not 

 only did he find it easy to lay out a 

 pleasing plan, but the concrete floor, 

 permitting trucks to bring soil and ex- 

 hibits to the spot where they were to be 

 I)Iaced and allowing ample watering, 

 pleased the exhibitors immensely. 



• • • • 

 Attendance the opening day was dou- 

 ble that of the first day of the recent 

 automobile show at Indianapolis. Sun- 

 day brought a crowd despite rain. Mon- 

 day evening one had to fight his way 

 unless he drifted with the crowd, guided 

 by a corps of husky police. The public 

 seemed progressively interested. 



• • • • 



Every effort had been made by the 

 Indianapolis florists to insure a large 

 public attendance. The automobile 

 route from downtown to the show was 

 marked by pine trees tied to the lamp 

 posts and arrows pointing "To the 

 Flower Show." At the fair grounds the 

 walk to the two buildings used was bor- 

 dered on either side with southern pines.
