SPRINGnELD, OHIO. 



Club Meeting. 



At the monthly meeting of the Spring- 

 field Florists' Club, held November 

 10, the members were highly pleased 

 with a splendid display of chrysanthe- 

 mums and carnations by Clinton L. Reese, 

 to whom a vote of thanks was extended. 

 Mr. Reese briefly explained his methods 

 of growing, stating that the mums, in 

 about ten varieties, had been permitted 

 to produce an average of three blooms to 

 the plant, and it was generally con- 

 ceded, by a number of competent judges 

 present, that the results attained were 

 equal to any flowers seen by them from 

 the houses of the largest growers for 

 critical city trade. 



Mr. Reese casually remarked that he 

 had grown on his place, not only the 

 flowers, but the vases as well ; where- 

 upon it was discovered that the * ' vases ' ' 

 containing the carnations, which had been 

 taken to be tastefully decorated earth- 

 enware, were simply vase-shaped gourds, 

 with the smaller ends detached and the 

 contents removed. The exhibitor had the 

 laugh on the floral experts, whose eyes 

 were evidently better trained to judge 

 flowers than vases. 



C. L. Reese and C. C. Leedle were 

 appointed a committee to outline a plan 

 for holding a flower show at 'about this 

 time next fall. The new houses recently 

 erected by Charles Unglaub, Gustav 

 Schneider and the Leedle Rosery Co., 

 together with the enterprise of Mr. Reese 

 and other local retailers, have given a 

 strong impetus to the growing of cut 

 flowers, and there is no reason why 

 Springfield should not take its proper 

 place in this branch of the floral indus- 

 try, as well as in the mail order busi- 

 ness and wholesale rose and plant grow- 

 ing. 



The topic for the evening was "Con- 

 struction and Heating of Greenhouses," 

 and quite an interesting informal dis- 

 cussion was held, the vacuum system of 

 heating receiving chief attention. 



Mr. Mellen, for the program commit- 

 tee, reported that E. G. Hill, of Rich- 

 mond, Ind., who had been requested to 

 talk to the club on the subject of his 

 frequent trips to Europe, had designated 

 December 14 as the date for his coming, 

 and it is probable that the regular meet- 

 ing for next month will be changed to 

 the date named. Ge Dale.
