was as David to Jonathaa in thirty sec- 

 onds or so; Adolph Farenwald, diverted 

 for the moment from affiliation, and 

 George Burton, recognized today as our 

 most progressive grower. Mr. Barnhart 

 chatted pleasantly with each and all. 



Then President Thilow called the 

 meeting to order. After routine busi- 

 ness he introduced Mr. Barnhart as a 

 man who was well worth hearing, what- 

 ever he may choose to say, and spoke 

 of the pleasant days he had spent with 

 the visitor at his home in Los Angeles. 

 Mr. Barnhart gave a delightful account 

 of California, its size, its climate, its 

 products and its people. He seemed to 

 know just what his hearers would like, 

 and he told it to them in charming fash- 

 ion. Facts and truths were illuminated 

 by anecdote and enlivened by witticisms. 

 There is a sort of unwritten rule in the 

 Florists* Club fixing the time a speaker 

 may consume. Most speakers find diffi- 

 culty in reaching this limit; Mr. Barn- 

 hart exceeded it, so delightfully that 

 no one noticed (except those at home), 

 and after the round of applause that 

 marked the conclusion he was sur- 

 rounded by those who, like Oliver Twist, 

 wanted more and said so. Mr. Barn- 

 hart talked of Edwin Lonsdale, whom 

 he had visited with much pleasure at 

 Lompoc; of Albert Knapper, who is 

 flourishing in Los Angeles; of callas 

 and freesias and Burbank and all the 

 topics of mutual interest. His visit will 

 be long and pleasantly remembered by 

 all his friends in the City of Brotherly 

 Love.
