Qub Meetins* 



At the well-attended February meet- 

 ing of the Springfield Florists' Club, 

 Assistant Postmaster O. F. Serviss 

 gave an interesting and instructive off- 

 hand talk on postal matters, touching 

 upon numerous questions of importance 

 to the catalogue florists. 



Mr. Serviss stated that in the last 

 eight or ten years the receipts of the 

 Springfield post-oflBce have doubled, at- 

 tributing this fact to the enormous 

 growth of outputs in catalogues and 

 products of the various greenhouses in 

 the line of plants, seeds and bulbs. 



It was recommended that whenever 

 one-third of a sack or more of mail for 

 any one state is ready to forward, noth- 

 ing for any other state be put into the 

 same sack, provided, however, that the 

 post-oflfice furnish an adequate supply of 

 sacks, which is not always possible. 



The abolition of the back stamp was 

 favored by the speaker as well as by 

 practically everybody present. 



A more equitable adjustment of post- 

 • age rates between second, third and 

 fourth-class matter was advocated, and 

 Mr. Serviss recommended that facts and 

 figures be collated as to the amount of 

 postal business done in the aggregate by 

 local florists, and that the matter be pre- 

 sented in due form to our congressman. 

 The entire postal system is conceded to 

 be built upon quite antiquated lines and 

 a committee of congress haa the matter 

 under consideration with a view to 

 thoroughly modernizing the department. 



At the close of this excellent talk Mr. 

 Serviss volunteered to answer questions, 

 or to meet with the club again at any 

 time, and he was interrogated by vari- 

 ous members as to means of correcting 

 mailing lists and various other subjects. 

 A vote of thanks was then tendered to 

 the speaker and a committee appointed 

 to take in hand the suggestions made, 

 the committee consisting of Geo. H. Mel- 

 len, HaJry Good and "William Reeser. 



Leman Bradford, of The Springfield 

 Floral Co., was missing from this ipeet- 

 ing, owing to a superior attraction in 

 the shape of a new daughter.

Larned, Kan. — Tyra Montgomery re- 

 ports a good demand for cut flowers, 

 stock coming from a grower seventy 

 miles distant. There is an opening here 

 for a good man to raise cut flowers 

 exclusively, as such a one could com- 

 mand territory within a radius of sixty 

 miles.
