DAYTON OHIO. 



Convention Notes. 



It is ouly three weeks until the annual 

 S. A. F. convention will open. Things 

 are in tip-top shape, peace and harmony 

 reign all the way around, and the twen- 

 ty-second convention promises to be the 

 largest in the society's history, in exhi- 

 bition, lectures, entertainments and in 

 attendance. The president of the Flo- 

 rists' Club, Mr. Heiss, recently has been 

 in New York, and at the last meeting 

 gave a glowing description of the places 

 visited. All the leading firms will ex- 

 hibit. 



The officers of the club met July 27 

 at the exhibition grounds, in company 

 with concessionaires, to make final con- 

 tracts for lighting the grounds. Every- 

 body was pleased to see how things show 

 up. All were unanimous in their praise 

 of Mr. Freudenberger and Henry Has- 

 sey, who have charge. John H. Patter- 

 son suplied men, teams, tools and mate- 

 rials free of charge to beautify the out- 

 door surroundings. It is through his un- 

 tiring efforts that the city of Dayton is 

 in landscaping what it is today. 



People are waking up now to the 

 beauty of perennial stuff, and it is with 

 regret that we say that the contemplated 

 outdoor exhibit did not show up as well 

 as was anticipated. A large lot of ground 

 was gotten ready for such an exhibit, 

 but exhibitors stayed out, and finally the 

 Dayton club resolved to fill up the spaces. 

 Each brought whatever he had, and Mr. 

 Freudenberger took it upon himself to 

 plant these empty spaces with the mate- 

 rial that was thus forthcoming. The 

 effort was not in vain. 



The Dayton Florists' Club will offer 

 prizes for the best plans for landscape 

 gardening. Now, you enterprising land- 

 scape architects, make the trade familiar 

 with what you are doing. We have to 

 introduce novel features in every conven- 

 tion and this will be one most beneficial 

 to all the trade. Come forward, if with 

 only a few pencil sketches, and instruct 

 the members of our society what can be 

 done with a small amount of money to 

 make even the most humble home a thing 

 of beauty. J. B. Heiss.
