The Florists^ Review 



JDNB 24, 1915. 



by subscription among the seed growers 

 whose broad acres lie in that fertile 

 region. The plan is to hold a barbecue 

 at San Juan and spend the night at 

 Hotel Vendome, returning to San Fran- 

 cisco Saturday evening. The start for 

 Qilroy is to be made at 8:05 Friday. 

 "Waldo Eohnert is in charge of the bar- 

 becue that evening. 



Past and Prospect. 



There is no burning issue before the 

 convention this year — no specially inim- 

 ical legislation is threatened, the parcel 

 post has proved in practice not so bad 

 as many expected and, anyway, most 

 of those present have brought their 

 families, so that it is as much a pleas- 

 ure as a business trip. Under the cir- 

 cumstances the business of the season 

 just closed and the prospect for next 

 season's seed supply are about as vital 

 as any topics discussed between ses- 

 sions. Taking it by and large, the sea- 

 son of 1915 did not realize the expecta- 

 tions of many of the general catalogue 

 seed houses; the demand petered out 

 disconcertingly early. As to next sea- 

 son's supply, there is of course no as- 

 surance of the usual shipments from 

 Germany and France, but in spite of the 

 alarmist reports from certain quarters, 

 the prospect is viewed with more or 

 less equanimity — there is confidence 

 that there will be seeds to sell, if not 

 one kind, then another. 



The Association's Year. 



Business sessions were held mornings 

 only, to give ample time for sight-seeing.

 Morse, in his address, reviewed the 

 year. His remarks and recommenda- 

 tions are printed on page 64 of this
