At an iinportaut meeting of the 

 Blooniington Florists ' Club December '13 

 preliminary steps were taken towards 

 arranging for the meeting of the Illinois 

 State Florists' Association to be held in 

 this citv on Tuesday and Wednesday, 

 February 19 and 20, 1907. J. F. Am- 

 mann, of Edwardsville, president of the 

 state association, was present and deliv- 

 ered an address upon ' ' Organization. ' ' 

 After the address by Mr. Ammann the 

 routine business of the local club, which 

 has a membership of twenty-five florists 

 in Bloomington and Normal, was trans- 

 acted and the following committee on 

 exhibition appointed: George Washburn, 

 Fred Eoe and W, T. Hempstead. 



A flower show is to be one of the prin- 

 cipal features of the meeting of the 

 state association here next February. The 

 location of the show as well as the place 

 of holding the business sessions have not 

 yet been decided upon. The program is 

 now being prepared and will be ready 

 for publication within a comparatively 

 short time. 



SHIOCTON, WIS. 



An interesting experiment on a large 

 scale is being undertaken at Shiocton, 

 Wis. A syndicate, under the name of 

 the Shiocton Garden Land Co., has pur- 

 chased a tract of land embracing about 

 3,500 acres. The whole tract will be 

 used for truck farming. Already $150,- 

 000 has been spent in the purchase and 

 drainage of the land. Eight miles of 

 ditch have already been dug, two dredges 

 excavating 200 feet or more a day. The 

 tract of land is four miles long and a 

 railroad runs through it. 



It has not been decided as yet whether 

 the big garden will be worked in shares 

 or whether the land will be opened to 

 farmers generally, who would in that case 

 dispose of the produce as their own prop- 

 erty. The whole scheme is in the nature 

 of an experiment, part of the land being 

 fertilized and part left in the natural 

 state. Matthew Crawford, of Cuyahoga 

 Falls, 0., will have charge of the work. 

 He has had years of experience in gar- 

 dening on a large scale. Mr. Crawford 

 will also grow gladiolus bulbs extensively 

 for market. 



West Grove, Pa. — J. M. Cooper has 

 sold his range, with stock, to Daniel 

 H. Green and Thomas W. Baylis. The 

 entire place was devoted to growing 

 chrysanthemums. The new firm of Green 

 & Baylis will propagate chrysanthemum 

 young stock, and they expect to have a 

 large stock of rooted cuttings in sea- 

 son.
