^^ 'T^HIS progressive Bloomington, 111., greenhouse man was formerly troub-

— There \7a8 a time when his flowers were continually damaged by irregular- 



^ ity of temperature in the growing houses—

stir up interest throughout the United 

 States, and few of the members will 

 feel like staying at home. As far as 

 trade exhibits are concerned, we have 

 a large auditorium, and I am sure it is 

 going to be packed to its capacity. I 

 cite as an example our Texas State 

 Florists' Association, which is as yet a 

 small organization; we were able to stir 

 up enough interest to fill a good-sized 

 building with exhibits. Now compare, 

 if you please, the Texas State Florists' 

 Association and the great S. A. F. and 

 you will have in comparison the kind 

 of exhibition we shall have at the 

 1916 S. A. F. convention at Houston.

The Market. 



The usual summer apathy continues. 

 Nearly all of the stores have been re- 

 painted, renovated and put into condi- 

 tion for the fall openings; the green- 

 house men have overhauled their ranges 

 and are well advanced with benching, 

 and all along the line work is well ad- 

 vanced for the beginning of fall. 



Asters hold the center of the market, 

 and are of good quality and in large 

 supply. The latter may be said re- 

 garding gladioli. A few cactus dahlias 

 find a demand, but on the whole there 

 is little doing. 



Various Notes. 



Byron H. Nixon, of Summit, has an 

 unusually fine showing of dahlias, his 

 field containing many choice speci- 

 mens.
