 the attention of the members of the 

 Florists' Club now. A large exhibition 

 by local retailers is planned, in addi- 

 tion to the society's regular premium 

 list. There will be no charge for ad- 

 mission. Florists have sent out 8,000 

 invitations to their customers and 

 friends. A record-breaking attendance 

 and a magnificent display are promised. 

 As this has been an unusual growing 

 year, stock should be at its best.

 at San Francisco and San Diego are 

 Fred C. Witthuhn, Frank J. Eitzen-
