The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



NOVEMBEB 9, 1005, 



DES. MOINES, lA. 



The Des Moines Florists' Club met 

 October 24 at the Iowa Seed Co. 's store 

 «nd completed organization. President 

 Lambert occupied the chair. By unani- 

 mous vote the following were admitted 

 1;o membership: J. T. D. Fulmer, su- 

 f)erintendent Union park; Capt. James 

 A. Brewer, superintendent Woodland 

 •cemetery; Miss Etta Hanson and Miss 

 Anderson. 



An amusing incident occurred at this 

 juncture. When Mr. Fulmer realized 

 that he had been voted into the club, 

 there was pathos in his voice as he 

 ■said: "To think that I should see the 

 -day when I should be voted into the 

 ©es Moines Florists' Club." He was 

 secretary of the first florists' club in 

 the city, organized in 1894, but now 

 considered nonexistent. Mr. Fulmer 

 failed to get to our first meeting 

 through the failure of "Uncle Sam to 

 •deliver the notice in time. It might 

 •be said in this connection that Mr. 

 ^Fulmer is the father of Miss Fulmer, 

 Tfho, though not a florist, has attended 

 the last eight national conventions, and 

 contributed toward the enjoyment of 

 the occasion by the rendition of vocal 

 ■eoloB. Mr. Fulmer took the situation 

 of his being "voted" in philosophically 

 and in a very appropriate speech pre- 

 •sented the new club with the records 

 of the old one, also turning over to 

 •C.-N. Page, the new treasurer, a bal- 

 ance of $1.95, which, according to the 

 •old records, must have been in his 

 possession for eleven years. This act 

 -won the applause of the meeting. 



The chair requested Mr. Wlragg to 

 •prepare a paper for the next meeting, 

 under the title of "How Can We Best 

 Improve the Surroundings of the 

 Home." Peter Lambert will read the 

 •history of the florists' business in Des 

 Idoines up to the present time.
