The Florists^ Review 



27 



Panorama View of the Sky-Line of Dallas, Where the Texas State Florists' Association Will Meet July 5 to 7. 



at Fort Worth in 1920 is bright in the 

 memories of those who attended it, and 

 its success was chiefly due to Veruer J. 

 Davis. At that time he was described 

 as "the man behind the Texas florists' 

 biggest convention. ' ' The coming 

 Dallas convention, with Mr. Davis as 

 presiding ofl&cer, is expected to add to 

 the renown of the Lone Star state organi- 

 zation. Vice-President Henry Greve is 

 also exceedingly active in making prep- 

 arations for the gathering, which will 

 begin on Wednesday, the day after the 

 Fourth of July holiday, and continue 

 till Friday. The veteran secretary and 

 treasurer, Louis J. Tackett, adds assur- 

 ance of a successful gathering from his 

 experience and skill in the important 

 post he holds. Firms who wish to re- 

 serve space for a display ojj persons who 

 wish to learn more regarding the meet- 

 ing can do so bv communicating with 

 Mr. Tackett, at Fort Worth, Tex. 



NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



Unusual Support. 



The publicity committee is pleased to 

 observe a little more than ordinary en- 

 thusiasm in the work of the campaign, 

 considering the time of year. As will 

 be seen from the subscription returns 

 herewith, the campaign is a live issue 

 in the thorough acceptance of the term. 

 These returns really may be considered 

 as our "honor roll," and while, per- 

 haps, none of the amounts recorded seem 

 big, they are important as units in the 

 fund's maintenance. Of the items 

 recorded, mention might be made of the 

 $25 per month subscription of .Tolin 

 Breitmeyer's Sons, Detroit, made direct 

 to thQ campaign, and segregated from 

 other subscriptions to publicity work 

 made by this firm. A substantial sub- 

 scription is also recorded as from J. C. 

 Vaughan, Chicago. 



In the past week the secretary's office 

 has been busy sending out memoran- 

 da of subscriptions to a number of 

 subscribers. It is earnestly hoped that 

 these memoranda — one hates to call 

 them "bills" — will receive immediate 

 attention. It is a case of "money 

 makes the mare go" with the commit- 

 tee and, with money in hand, they are 

 prepared to carry out their plans for 

 what they consider the best advertising 

 to be obtained in the magazines — -and it 

 should always be remembered that the 

 advertising pages of the best magazines 

 are laid out and the forms closed for 



u particular issue many weeks in ad- 

 vance of dates of publication.

Club Meeting. 



The June meeting of the Lancaster 

 County Florists' Club was held at the 

 home of Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Strickler, 

 at Engleside, in the form of a garden 

 party. Their gardens of herbaceous 

 plants are considered among the best 

 in this section and they were a mass of 

 bloom. Considerable space is devoted to 

 vegetables under the Skinner system of 

 irrigation, and a succession of crops 

 from frost to frost is the rule. 



About thirty-five members were pres- 

 ent and a most enjoyable time was had. 

 H. K. Eohrer presided. Three new mem- 

 bers were elected. On motion of Charles 

 B. Herr, colors will be adopted by the 

 club and pennants procured to be used 

 on visiting trips. On motion by B. F. 

 Barr, the club voted $25 toward the 

 fund being raised by Pennsylvania nurs- 

 erymen for fighting the Japanese bee- 

 tle. 



The club picnic in August will be 

 held on Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Barr's lawn, 

 the date to be announced later. 



In July the club will be the guests 

 of the Beading Florists' Club. 



After the meeting refreshments were 

 served bv the hostess. H. K. R. 



HAIL HAVOC AT OMAHA. 



One of the most severe and freakish 

 hail storms ever encountered at Omaha, 

 Neb., struck there June 18, at 6 p. m., 

 and in a few moments had damaged the 

 place of Ammett Hooge to the tune of 

 .$2,000, breaking, among other things, 

 between 8,000 and 9,000 feet of ghiss, 

 none of which was insured. Lewis 

 Henderson lost between 3,000 and 4,000 

 feet of glass, but it was fully insured. 

 Louis Zadina suffered the loss of from 

 300 to 400 broken panes; this was in- 

 sured. Robinson's Greenhouses, at 

 Waterloo, la., lost 400 panes of glass.

Lake Placid, N. Y. — Mrs. Bernard 

 Farley has announced that she has gone 

 into the florists' business, at her home 

 on Grand View hill.
