The Florists^ Review 



Mabch 11, 1916. 



upon the reports of the secretary and 

 treasurer, and they reported that the 

 accounts were corre'_'t and in first-class 

 shape. 



R. C. Kerr reported quite at length 

 in regard to the energetic work he has 

 been doing in Texas in the shape of or- 

 ganizing. In the course of this report 

 he referred to the possibility of the or- 

 ganization of sectional associations. 

 This brought out a spirited discussion 

 in which a number of the members par- 

 ticipated, and the result of the discus- 

 sion was that Mr. Kerr expressed him- 

 self as thoroughly in accord with the 

 recent broad movement toward national- 

 ism and the dominance of the parent 

 society, the same not to interfere with 

 complete autonomy on the part of state 

 or other florists' associations, all of 

 which are invited to come into the fold 

 under the affiliation plan, which at the 

 close of the discussion Mr. Kerr ac- 

 knowledged the paramount advantages 

 of and expressed himself as having 

 gained much from the discussion and 

 as prepared to go back home and push 

 organization harder than ever. 



On motion, the chai^ appointed three 

 representatives in the east as an addi- 

 .tion to the Chicago Club's committee 

 on transportation, who will furnish 

 eastern members all information in their 

 power regarding the trip to San Fran- 

 cisco to the August convention, viz.: 

 H. H. Bartsch, president Gardeners' 

 and Florists' Club of Boston; George 

 Burton, president Florists ' Club of 

 Philadelphia, and Harry A. Bunyard, 

 president New York Florists' Club. 



Representatives of subsidiary socie- 

 ties announced that it was not their in- 

 tention to hold special meetings of their 

 societies at San Francisco, further than 

 to participate in the general meeting 

 of the S. A. F. 



In response to a telegram, Daniel 

 MacRorie announced that the local com- 

 mittee on convention garden will un- 

 dertake to carry out the same on the 

 same basis as it wjis carried out in 

 Minneapolisr At the strggestion of Mr. 

 Roland, Theodore Wirth was appointed 

 by the chair as a representative of the 

 board of the S. A. F. to act in conjunc- 

 tion with the local committee on con- 

 vention garden at San Francisco. On 

 motion of Mr. Wirth it was voted to 

 organize a permanent committee on con- 

 vention garden similar in number and 

 tenure to the national show commititee. 

 On motion of Secretary Y9ung it was 

 ordered that the awards to be given for 

 the exhibits in the convention garden

J. A. Peterson, of Cincinnati, offered 

 a suggestion as to the possibility of hav- 

 ing an exhibition where new plants 

 could be exhibited and judged once 

 every month, which he thought would 

 be a great benefit, not only to the grow- 

 er but also to purchasers of new plants. 

 Mr. Peterson stated that he personally 

 knew of plants sent out under three or 

 four different names when they were 

 all practically the same plant. This 

 suggestion was quite generally discussed 

 ,by the board, and a special committee, 

 consisting of Messrs. Wirth, Kasting 

 and Roland, was appointed to take this 

 matter luider consideration.

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state 

 that 1 planted seedling stock plants and snap- 

 dragon cuttings in the first lot of bands that I 

 received from you early in January. 



We took some of these out and planted them 

 where they are to remain about the 15th of 

 February. They made a GOOD GROWTH while 

 in the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they 

 had never been moved at all. 



I have now about 14,000 carnation plants 

 started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID 

 GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant in transplant- 

 ing from the sand. 



I 'SlsQ Baive about 20,000 aster plants trans- 

 planted in 2-in. bands which can stay there till 

 time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case 

 if I used 2-in. pots. 



Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND 

 enough to injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS, 

 and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT 

 OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water- 

 ing, shifting, transplanting, etc. 



I make my bands and set them in flats, as I 

 make them u|i. each flat l^oldlng 117. 



When we get crowded indoors it takes bub. a 

 short time to move the flats to a cold frame, 

 where we harden them off before setting them in 

 the field. * 1 . 



One man can set' MORE THAN ANOTHER 

 TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the 

 field from these bands and flats tbnn he can from 

 pots, and after he Is through DOES NOT HAVE 

 THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, , CLEAN- 

 ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS. 



I believe anyone usins; these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER. 

 Yours truly, 



H. B. Weaver. 



Mr. Weaver ordered 5000 Dirt Bands in Decem- 

 ber, 40,000 in January, and 20,000 in March last 

 year, and 70,000 this year.
