The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



January 17, 1907. 



SPRINGFIELD, ILL. 



A committee of the Illinois State Flo- 

 rists ' Association, consisting of J. F. 

 Ammann, Edwardsville ; Albert T. Hey, 

 Springfield, and Professor A. C. Beal, of 

 Urbana, was in attendance at the meet- 

 ing of the Board of Agriculture January 

 7 and 8. The committee succeeded, with 

 the assistance of Mr. O'Dwyer, superin- 

 tendent of floriculture at the state fair, 

 in getting an increase in the appropria- 

 tion for premiums for floriculture at the 

 state fair, from $1,500 to $2,500. 



Each of the above named committee- 

 men made a few remarks before the 

 board. Professor Beal showed statistics, 

 on a chart, giving an approximate esti- 

 mate on the vast amount of glass area, 

 etc., throughout the state devoted to the 

 growing of flowers. Mr. Hey urged a 

 more liberal amount in premiums and a 

 general revision of the premium list. Mr. 

 Ammann dwelt upon the necessity of a 

 new building for exhibiting flowers and 

 plants and practical assistance in the 

 managing of this department. A great 

 many members of this board seem favor- 

 ably inclined to advance floriculture at 

 the fair. And it is the opinion of this 

 committee that with a little well organ- 

 ized work on their part the florists can 

 accomplish a great deal, but we must 

 keep at it. 



The committee later met with Mr. 

 O'Dwyer and drew up a skeleton pre- 

 mium list from which Mr. O'Dwyer will 

 have preliminary lists printed and sent 

 out among the florists in the near future, 

 giving all plenty of time to grow stock 

 for the greatest state fair flower show 

 ever held. J- ^- ^' 



Corfu, N. Y.— T. A. Webb, carnation 

 grower for Miller & Sons, Bracondale, 

 Ont., spent New Year's with his family, 

 who still reside here. Mr. Webb was 

 formerly in business for himself here. 



Aurora, III.— The $50,000 greenhouse 

 of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy has 

 been torn down during the last few 

 weeks. The smoke and dust made it a 

 failure. It is thought that the company 

 will not rebuild, but will continue to 

 make contracts with Chicago florists for 

 its dining-car flowers, as it is now do- 

 ing.
