The Florists^ Review 



September 16, 1915. 



port of the work of the committee in 

 charge of convention arrangements. 



Mr. Plath, for the exhibition com- 

 mittee, reported progress in prepara- 

 tion for the fall flower show next 

 month and also announced a dahlia 

 show to be held in the Palace of Horti- 

 culture September 18 and 19, under 

 the auspices of the California State 

 Floral Society and the Alameda County 

 Floral Society, in which eleven prizes 

 are offered for competition for profes- 

 sional growers. 



The sensation of the evening was 

 sprung when proposals for new mem- 

 bers were called for, in response to 

 which Daniel MacRorie proposed the 

 names of Patrick Welch, Wm. F. 

 Kasting, Charles Willis Ward, John 

 Morley, Vincent J. Gorly and others of 

 national prominence, numbering close 

 to a dozen. This was the signal for 

 another outburst of applause. Mr. 

 MacRorie said that many of the visi- 

 tors had asked for life membership, 

 for which there was no provision in 

 the constitution of the society, and a 

 proposition was made to make the 

 change in the constitution, a commit- 

 tee consisting of Mr. MacRorie, Frank 

 Pelicano and Eric James being ap- 

 pointed to consider the matter. J. 

 Noordink was elected to membership. 



Frank Pelicano, reporting for the 

 picnic committee, expressed the opin- 

 ion that it was getting too late in the 

 year to hold a successful picnic, this 

 being concurred in by many of those 

 present. It was recommended instead 

 to have a florists' day at the exposi- 

 tion. 



In discussing a lecture for the next 

 meeting, it was suggested that efforts 

 be made to get the stereopticon slides 

 shown at the convention of park super- 

 intendents last month. 



The exhibits were: A large vase of 

 dahlias, Delice and Kaiser Wilhelm, 

 by Frank Pelicano, 85 points (Mr. 

 Pelicano said Delice is one of the best 

 cut flowers in the market today, but 

 refused to comment on the Kaiser) ; 

 a large fern, Nephrolepis PiersOni ele- 

 gantissima, shown by H. Plath and 

 rated at 85 points; and Mr. Podesta's 

 bowling trophy, rated at 105 points. 

 Called upon to tell how he did it, he 

 gave the credit to Mr. MacRorie as 

 originator of the local bowling club. 

 He was warmly congratulated and 

 much pleasure was expressed that the 

 trophy is to remain here. 



Various Notes. 



Friends of Wallace R. Pierson will 

 be glad to hear of his complete recov- 

 ery, as proved by a strenuous after- 

 noon at the exposition and participa- 

 tion in a dinner in the evening of 

 September 9, at which he was guest of 

 honor to a large number of local flo- 

 rists, who accompanied him to the 

 train on his departure for Los Angeles. 

 He left the hospital September 2 and 

 his activities since would give no in- 

 dication of his recent serious illness. 

 He expresses no regret at the loss of 

 his vermiform appendix, but the fact 

 that he leaves it here will no doubt 

 give San Francisco a higher place in 

 his affection than it has had in the 

 past. Mr. Pierson will spend a week 

 in the south before starting on his 

 eastern trip. 



E. J. Fancourt, of the S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., Philadelphia, left a few 

 days ago for Portland and Seattle on 

 his homeward trip. It is understood 

 that this is the first convention at
