The Florists' Review 



Jbu 80, 1914. 



OOLLEaE STATION, TEX. 



The Bureerymen since time immemo- 

 rial have taken an active interest in 

 the annual meeting of the Texas State 

 Horticultural Society, and this year the 

 newly formed state organization of flo- 

 rists also had a leading part. The 

 meeting was held here July 27 to 29 

 and brought out an attendance of ap- 

 proximately 1,500, of whom forty or 

 fifty were nurserymen and twenty 

 or thirty florists. The Texas Statd 

 Nurserymen's Association held its reg- 

 ular midsummer meeting July 27, for 

 the discussion of trade topics, and on 

 the evening of July 28 gave a banquet 

 in Mess hall, at which the subject for 

 consideration was the conservation of 

 the Texas flora. President J. S. Kerr 

 oceupied the chair at the business ses- 

 sion, but F. T. Kamsey was toastmaster 

 at the banquet. Committees from the 

 various state organizations interested 

 were present by invitation and a move- 

 ment was set on foot that is expected 

 to lesult in a more beautiful Texas. 



There were several nurserymen on 

 the program of the State Horticultural 

 Society, and three florists also were 

 down for talks. R. C. Kerr, president 

 of the florists' association, told of the 

 purposes of that organization: "The 

 Texas State Florists' Association was 

 organized," he said, "with one great 

 aim, to grow our own stock as much 

 as possible, to develop native flowers 

 and shrubs and to keep Texas money 

 in Texas." In another part of his 

 address Mr. Kerr said: "The florists 

 of the state will get together each year, 

 exchange ideas and study plans by 

 which we can create a greater demand 

 for flowers and plants. We will edu- 

 cate the people in the care and cul- 

 ture ef flowers by holding annual shows 

 and exhibiting our specimen flowers, 

 plants and decorative work. Seeing and 

 admiring these flowers naturally will 

 create a desire for flowers and plants 

 for the home, and this will in turn 

 create a desire for shrubbery and trees 

 and all the products of horticulture. 

 Horticulture in the great state of Texas 

 has the greatest field for development 

 of any section of the country. Cooper- 

 ation is nu)st important, and if the 

 Texas State Horticultural Society, the 

 Nurserymen 's Association and the Texas 

 State Florists' Association will join 

 hands and work for a more beautiful 

 Texas, I predict this one day will be 

 the horticultural center of the coun- 

 try."
