Qtib Meeting. 



One of the results of the meeting of 

 the trustees of the Florists' Society at 

 E. G. Gillett's last week was an invita- 

 tion from J. A. Peterson for the society 

 to hold an outdoor meeting at his home 

 in Westwood on Friday, June 26. So a 

 meeting was called for that date, to 

 which all the florists of Cincinnati and 

 vicinity were invited. Some twenty-five 

 persons were present and, after taking a 

 trip through his greenhouses, where Mr. 

 Peterson's various specialties were seen 

 in all of their perfection, the party as- 

 sembled in his large dining room. Re- 

 freshments of various kinds were served 

 here and then the meeting was called to 

 order. Inasmuch as the board of trus- 

 tees elected last year had never qualified, 

 the old board was considered to be still 

 in oflSce, so Wm. Murphy took the chair, 

 with C. J. Ohmer as secretary. 



The first business before the meeting 

 was the election of officers for the com- 

 ing year. The election resulted in the 

 choice of the following: President, J. 

 A. Peterson; vice-president, C. E. 

 Critehell; secretary, C. J. Ohmer; treas- 

 urer, D; Busconi; trustee, Gus Adrian. 



These officers were duly qualified and 

 at once took their seats. A call for ap- 

 plications for membership brought out 

 six. The rules being suspended, they 

 were made members at once. They were 

 as follows: Max Budolph, Wm. H. Gear, 

 R. A. Murphy, Casper Sunderman, Geo. 

 E. Tromey and Chas. Brunner.. 



A committee was then appointed to 

 take full charge of our annual outing, 

 July 23. 



E. G. Gillett then brought up the pro- 

 posed invitation for the S. A. F. to hold 

 its 1909 convention in Cincinnati, this 

 being its twenty-fifth anniversary. A 

 vote was taken and it was unanimously 

 carried that the Cincinnati Florists' So- 

 ciety extend to the S. A. F. a most press- 

 ing invitation to meet in this city in 

 1909, and that a delegation be sent to 

 the approaching convention at Niagara 

 Falls to do all in their power to accom- 

 plish this result. The board of trustees 

 had good reason to be elated over the 

 amount of enthusiasm displayed by the 

 various florists present. Not only did 

 every one of them promise to do all in 

 his power to bring the convention to this 

 city and then to work toward its suc- 

 cess, but they volunteered financial as- 

 sistance in a manner which bids fair to 

 prove that if the S. A. F. decides to 

 visit our city in 1909 they will be treated 

 to a convention the like of which has 

 never been witnessed before. Not 

 only do Cincinnati florists hold this out 

 as an inducement to influence the mem- 

 bers of the S. A. F. to vote to come to 

 Cincinnati in 1909, but they also call at- 

 tention to the geographical location of 

 the city; how it is in the very center of 

 the floral industry of the United States; 

 how it will pull delegates from the east 

 and west, from the north and south alike, 

 and thus bring together a more varied 

 interest than ever before. 



I might go on almost indefinitely enu- 

 merating the various reasons why this

convention should come Here in 1909, but 

 I believe those stated above, when prop- 

 erly placed before the coming conven- 

 tion, will win the delegates to our cajise 

 in a body. We want the vote of every 

 delegate and we want all members of 

 the national society to feel that they 

 want to come to our city, and then, fi- 

 nally, we want them all to come. Cincin- 

 nati has a reputation for hospitality and 

 you can bet your life that we are going 

 to live up to it. 



The meeting adjourned at a late hour, 

 with a hearty vote of thanks to Mr. and 

 Mrs. Peterson and their family for their 

 splendid entertainment. 



At six o'clock the proceedings of the 

 society were rested for a while and Miss 

 Weber, accompanied by Miss Peterson, 

 sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," in 

 honor of our late ex-president, Grover 

 Cleveland, whose funeral services were 

 then being held. 



The next meeting of the Florists' So- 

 ciety will be held in the club rooms, 

 Saturday, July 11, at 8 p. m. It is ex- 

 pected that this will be a largely attend- 

 ed meeting, as much business of impor- 

 tance will come up.
