Sixty-five persons attended the first

 gleston, Thursday evening, February 11. 

 Before the supper a business meeting 

 was held at the store of George B. Hart,

 to hold its national convention at Roch- 

 ester in 1910. In this ftonnection "a reso- 

 lution was unanimously adopted favoring 

 the enlargement of Convention hall along 

 the lines favored by the Chamber of Com- 

 merce. The subject of a flower show 

 the coming fall was also favorably con- 

 sidered, but definite action was .deferred. 



The Rochester Commercial Florists ' As- 

 sociation was organized by the retail 

 florists. It has a membership of about 

 100, and includes growers of flowers and 

 ornamentals, private gardeners, and mem- 

 bers of allied industries. The oflScers 

 are: President, Fred W. Vick; vice- 

 president, A. H. Seeker; secretary, H. 

 B. Stringer; treasurer, W. L. Keller. 



W. H. Dildine, of James Vick's Sons, 

 Was toastmaster at -the banquet. Chas. 

 A. Brown, of Brown Bros., nurserymen, 

 extended greetings and good wishes on 

 behalf of the Rochester Nurserymen's 

 Association and pointed out some of the 

 benefits of organization. A. H. Seeker, 

 of Salter Bros., spoke on "Organiza- 

 tion." W. L. Keller, of J. B. Keller's 

 Sons, had for his subject, "Our Voca- 

 tion." R. G. Salter spoke on "Sociabil- 

 ity. ' ' George B. Hart gave a brief sketch 

 of the association and referred to the 

 forthcoming national convention. Short 

 addresses were also delivered by Charles 

 H. Vick, W. F. Kasting, Charles Malloy, 

 Edward Osborne and John Dunbar. W. 

 D. Valette, traflSc manager of the Cham- 

 ber of Commerce, outlined methods of 

 work necessary for forwarding such an 

 organization. He invited the members 

 of the association to be the guests of 

 the Chamber of Commerce at its first 

 open meeting in March, and assured them 

 of the hearty cooperation of that body.
