NATIONAL PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN. 



consid- 

 to the 



Why Not Bespond? 



ft is pleasing to record that :i 

 erablo number of subscribers 

 campaign fund liave in the last week or 

 so responded with checks covering the 

 memoranda of subscription indebted- 

 ness recently sent out from the secre- 

 tary's office. Still, many have not yet 

 responded to the appeal for immediate 

 ])aymcnt of pledges. It should not be 

 necessary further to remind delinquents 

 that the ])ublicity committee needs the 

 money pledged for the carrying on 

 of the campaign. Progress is made 

 only in proportion to the funds avail- 

 able and, unless sufficient money is in 

 hand to cover advertising contracts at 

 the time they should be made, the com- 

 mittee is sadly handicapped, and much 

 of its work goes for nothing. 



Among the subscriptions recorded at 

 this time, it is pleasing to note one of 

 $500 from Bassett & Washburn, of Chi- 

 cago, who have the success of the cam- 

 l)aign much at heart; another of $200 

 from J. F. Wilcox & Sons, Council 

 Bluffs, la.; still others of $100 each 

 from A. Washburn & Sons, Blooming- 

 ton, 111., and Jackson & Perkins Co., 

 Newark, N. Y.

KANSAS CITY CONVENTION, 



Convention Hall. 



Arrangements for the 1922 conven- 

 tion of the S. A. F., to be held at Kan- 

 sas City August 15 to 17, are rapidly 

 approaching completion, and a most suc- 

 cessful gathering is looked for. The 

 convention is to be housed in one of the 

 finest l)uildings in the country adapted 

 for such purposes. Convention hall, lo- 

 cated at the corner of Thirteenth street 

 and Central avenue. The building is 

 replete with conveniences, and will pro- 

 vide for meetings and trade exhibition. 



Bailroad Arrangements. 



As i)reviously announced, all members 

 will be able to travel to Kansas City 

 with the advantage of a rate of one 

 fare and a half for the round trip on the 



certificate plan. To add still further to 

 conveniences in this direction, the sec- 

 retary has arranged with the trunk line 

 associations for the privilege of send- 

 ing certificates in advance to every 

 member of the society, so that personal 

 applications for them need not be made. 

 These certificates are all numbered and 

 recorded, so as to render them trace- 

 able in the event that they are used by 

 others than members of the society, the 

 reduced fares applying only to bona 

 fide members of the society. 



The Trade Exhibition. 



Already about fifty-five exhibitors 

 have made reservations of space in the 

 trade exhibition, and many prospective 

 exhibitors are in correspondence with 

 the secretary's office in regard to space. 

 It looks as though every foot of avail- 

 able space will be taken up. 



The Kansas City brethren are well 

 organized and have about eighteen com- 

 mittees working on local details of ar- 

 rangements, and the resulting plans for 

 the comfort and convenience of visitors 

 will shortly be announced. Without 

 doubt, the attendance will be of record 

 character. 



Membership Dues. 



Recently, from the secretary's office, 

 bills were mailed to all members in ar- 

 rears for dues, and these members are 

 urged to make prompt remittances. The 

 society is in need of these funds, as they 

 are applied wholly to the expenses of 

 the society, which, necessarily, are quite 

 large. Immediately on receipt of checks 

 for dues, membership cards are issued 

 to those sending them; these must be 

 presented by all in attendance at the 

 convention. John Young, Sec 'y. 



PEBENNIALS FOE CUTTING.

By Special Letter. 



The following have been received in 



Further Suggestions. 



Continuing the notes which have 

 peared in the recent issues of The 

 view in this department, further sug- 

 gestions are given here in regard to 

 herbaceous perennials which are useful 

 to florists for cut flowers. Two weeks 

 ago were given instructions as to meth- 

 ods of planting and care, which are sup- 

 plemented by the remarks under each 

 flower. The florist who has land adjoin- 

 ing his greenhouses will find such peren- 

 nials a highly profitable addition to 

 his supply of stock in the summer time. 

 In addition, he will have a colorful 

 garden, something which might be 

 called the florists' outdoor display win- 

 dow, of value in attracting customers 

 both for cut flowers and for plants to 

 beautify the home grounds. 



Stokesias. 



One of the finest and most persistent - 

 flowering of hardy perennials is Stoke- 

 sia cyanea, with large sky-blue flowers, 

 as large as an aster, which are produced 

 during the entire summer. This is fine 



for cutting and of great value in floral 

 designs. There are pure white and pink 

 varieties of this valuable, native hardy 

 perennial. All come true from seed and 

 are of comparatively easy culture. No 

 florist will go far amiss in growing a 

 good batch of them. 



Galegas. 



One of the most effective perennial 

 plants at jjresent is Cralega officinalis 

 alba. The habit, foliage and flowers re- 

 semble those of the popular Swainsona 

 galegifolia alba. These galegas are use- 

 ful for cutting and their spikes of small, 

 pure white, ])ea-shaped flowers are al- 

 most as effective as lily of the valley in 

 design work. Galega bicolor Hartlandii, 

 ji new species, carries blue and white 

 flowers and G. purpurea is blue. All are 

 desirable border plants, apart from their 

 value for cutting. They come with the 

 greatest ease from seeds and bloom the 

 first season, when sown early. 



Anchusas. 



Usually classed as perennials, the an- 

 chusas are in reality biennials and sel-
