CLEVELAND FLORISTS MEET. 



One of the ))est get-together meetings 

 of the club in niontlis was the dance 

 lield Tuesday, May 9, at Conklin's liall, 

 on Euclid avenue. The recreation com- 

 mittee, consisting of A. J. Borges, L. F. 

 Charleswoith, Mr. Wilson. C. F. Kirch- 

 ner and G. W. Mercer, deserves great 

 credit. ^Vhen these young florists set 

 themselves to a job it is a sure success. 



The (lance was a real reunion, and 

 those who did not dance had just as 

 good a time. It was old friends meet- 

 ing old friends. In every corner you 

 could see growers talking things over. 

 There was Mr. Merkel, Mr. Wilson, L. 

 Utzinger and II. Lovell in a merry 

 party. Our jaesident, James McLaugh- 

 lin, was on hand with his wife and a 

 party of friends. Each meeting is also 

 uniting the Cuyahoga florists into a real 

 working organization. 



The meeting also brought assurances 

 to our })resident that the membership 

 committee will have enough new names 

 at our next regular meeting to pass the 

 100 mark which they set out to make. 

 The next regular meeting, June 5, at the 

 Ilollendeii, will be important, as we 

 expect to liave a good report from the 

 publicity committee. 



One of the real events of last week 

 was the wonderful Mothers' day win- 

 dow put on by the Knoble Bros. Co., an 

 account of wiiich was published in last 

 week's issue. 



The wholesale houses also reported a 

 good clean-up on all flowers. There was 

 a great call for lilacs. A. T. F.

The best winter-flowering begonias 

 are Gloire dc Lorraine, Glory of Cin- 

 cinnati, Melior, Mrs. Peterson and Peer- 

 less. These are secured mainly by 

 means of leaf cuttings in October, No- 

 vember and December and to some ex- 

 tent from stem cuttings later in the 

 winter. They are not grown from the 

 seed, which they seldom or never pro-
