The Weekly Florists^ Review.

Island, Cincinnati, August 20, 1909. 



tol'ui'c the hospitalities ha\p lioon only 

 for the 8. A. F. members, but at (,'in<'iii- 

 iiati non-nienibers rceeived all the cour- 

 tesies. 



INIiss Pearl Fulmer is a jjreat ta\orite 

 because of her voice, and wIumcmt lioi' 

 ists gaTlicr about a piano slic is caMed 

 ujiou til furnish a larye ]iart nf the cii 

 tortaiuMient. 



Before the week was ^t\vv the atteud- 

 ance had become probably tlie larj^cst in 

 the history of the S. A. F. Many staid 

 ouly for a day, or two days, but there 

 were many arrivals the later ilays of the 

 week. 



Ou the day the trade exhibition was 

 open to the public there were over 1,200 

 ]iaid admissions at 25 cents, and the 

 local florists had given out some thou- 

 sands of tickets at their stores. The 

 attendance showed the interest of the 

 people outside the trade. 



Victor Morgan, who represented Hob- 

 bink iV Atkins, found he was charged $20 

 for the cartage of his exhibit from the 

 dejiot to the hall, while the haul from 

 liutherford to Cincinnati was only $46; 

 lie thought the cliarges out of proportion 

 and refused to settle on that basis. The 

 drayman got out an attachment for the 

 exhibit and the sheriff had no difliculty 

 in showing Mr. ]\Iorgan that when one 

 is on the road it is cheaper to jiay than 

 to stay and tight, even if it isn't pleas- 

 ant. 



W. A. ^landa went west from (in 

 cinnati. He will visit the Seattle exjio- 

 sition and various points of interest on 

 tlie Pacific Coast, expecting to spend a 

 considerable time on the trip. 



^Irs. ,T. W. Rodgers. wife of the super- 

 intendent of parks in Cincinnati, enter- 

 tained a party of ladies at the lousiness 

 Men's Club at luncheon August 18. 

 Among those present were Mrs. J. C. 

 Vaughan. Mrs. J. S. Wilson and Mrs. 

 < . H. Maynard. 



Tliero was considerable increase in the 

 nienibership of the ladies' society during 

 the Cincinnati meeting. The ladies now 

 have over 200 members, about one-fifth 

 as many as the national society itself. 



Phil Breitmeyer took Rush's place on 

 tliO Detroit team and finished the chani- 

 |iionsliiji contest, rolling 190 and 102. 



Emil Leuly came all the ^Yay to Cin- 

 linnati from West Tloboken on liis bi- 

 fVile.
