BED OF SHASTA PLANTED AUG. 1, PHOTOGRAPHED DEO. 1. 



Last September a grower said this bed carried too many buds; that it could not keep up such a gait 

 throughout the season. He did not know the variety. That he was mistaken is being proved by the 

 record Shasta is making. Some time ago we showed you a photo taken Oct. 1. Now look at another 

 one we had taken Dec. 1, and see whether it looks as though it were going off crop. You can come any 

 time and you will always see it in full crop. We invite inspection any time. 



We are booking orders right along now at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000.

SPRINGFIELD. OHIO. 



Qub Meeti£i£. 



The Florists' Club held its regular 

 meeting Monday evening, December 13, 

 at the office of the Good & Eeese Co., 

 with President Eoger Murphy in the 

 chair. 



Prior to calling the meeting to order 

 an informal discussion was had on the 

 subject of the great annoyance and fre- 

 quent excessive overcharges in connec- 

 tion with importations of stock from 

 Holland. From the foreign nursery to 

 New York all sorts of expenses are ac- 

 cumulated and assessed in blanket form 

 as "advanced charges," the aggregate 

 of transportation charges, fees and duties 

 seeming in many cases to be extortionate. 

 Some united action in the matter is 

 likely to follow. 



A check system for use in connection 

 with the delivering and receiving of 

 plants between the various local growers 

 was adopted, the preparation of the 

 necessary blanks in triplicate being left 

 with Koy McGregor, such a system hav- 

 ing been in use for some time by the 

 McGregor Bros. Co. 



The project of holding a local flower 

 show annually or oftener was discussed 

 and some plan to this end will probably 

 be adopted. It is thought that Spring- 

 field should take some advance step in 

 this direction as a flower city and offer 

 some prizes, such as would attract ex- 

 hibitors from other towns. 



The next meeting will be in charge of 

 the local retail florists and some subject 

 of interest to them will be selected by 

 the program committee. G. D.
