Club Meeting. 



The last meeting of the Minneapolis 

 Florists' Club, held August 6 in the 

 store of Rice Bros., was attended by 

 forty members, with President Desmond 

 in the chair. Two new members were 

 elected, making the total membership 

 seventy-nine. 



Theodore Wirth, in reporting for the 

 Convention Association of Minneapolis, 

 stated that the preparations for the re- 

 ception and entertainment of visitors 

 were comprehensive, well planned and 

 well executed and could not fail to 

 result satisfactorily if the chairmen of 

 the committees would only attend to 

 their part of the details, as they un- 

 doubtedly would, by seeing that the 

 work was properly distributed among 

 the members of the committees. 



John Young, superintendent of the 

 trade exhibition, was present and did 

 some effective work in inducing mem- 

 bers of the local club to join the na- 

 tional society. 



George Asmus, of Chicago, who is a 

 member of the advisory board, spoke 

 in terms of high praise of the outdoor 

 plant exhibition on the convention 

 grounds. He also made some encourag- 

 ing and helpful remarks with reference 

 to the work of the committees. 



John Rovik displayed the merits of 

 the new baseball suits of the Minne- 

 apolis Florists' Club by appearing at 

 the meeting completely attired in one 

 of the suits, and was greeted with vig- 

 'orous applause that expressed high ap- 

 proval. 



Richard E. Loeben, of Gloversville, 

 N. Y., made a donation of $50, to be 

 •expended in connection with the con^ 

 vention in such manner as the ad-

 are using them. 



— — —Superior in Fact 



The SUPERIOR STANDARD is designed specially for green- 

 house work after a close study of what was needed. It is easily 

 cleaned, although it has more flues than any other boiler, but — more 

 flues give more heat; more flues require less fuel; the water heats 

 quicker and hotter, because, the volume of water heated by each 

 flue is smaller. 



All we ask is a chance to show you.
