price, the moving question will be 

 brought to a vote. 



The subject of the evening was a de- 

 bate between Messrs. DiJger and Sulli- 

 van, "Should the Grower Sell to the De- 

 partment Stores?" 



Mr. Dilger argued that the more flow- 

 ers seen upon the street corners and in 

 the stores, the greater would become the 

 demand for our product. As an illus- 

 tration, he pointed to the street cars, 

 saying that before we could ride every- 

 where we never thought about it, but 

 now that there are car lines on nearly 

 all streets, we must have them. Mr. 

 Dilger also averred that the question of 

 disposing of surplus stock is becoming 

 more and more serious. He also stated 

 that there are times when some grower 

 is in immediate need of some cash and 

 the cash offers made by some of the 

 fakers or department stores are very 

 tempting. 



Mr. Sullivan's argument was against 

 the general principle of encouraging the 

 street faker and the cheap sales indulged 

 in by the stores mainly to advertise their 

 other wares. He said that flowers should 

 be in the same class as the fine paintings 

 and statuary by our famous artists, and 

 should not be peddled away below the 

 cost of production by fakers who did not 

 even know the names of the wares they 

 were handling. 



To make a long story short, the three 

 branches of our profession were repre- 

 sented (grower, commission-man and re- 

 tailer), each arguing that the other fel- 

 low was making all the money. 



Variotis Notes. 



The Bemb Floral Co. has recently in 

 stalled a fine cash register. 



W. B. Brown is well pleased with his 

 new heating system. Steam is received 

 from the Central Heating Co., thereby 

 doing away with all ashes, dirt and night 

 firing. 



E. A. Fetters is well pleased with busi- 

 ness so far. He admits that it will take 

 some time to become established, but he 

 has already had some nice orders. 



Mrs. C. H. Maynard and Mrs. Wm. 

 Dilger left for Fort Wayne, Ind., on the 

 morning of December 8, to confer with 

 Mrs. W. J. Vesey. president of the La- 

 dies' Society of American Florists. They 

 expect to be gone for several days.
