CHAMPAIGN, ILL. 



President Ed. GuUett, of Lincoln, Vice- 

 president George Pranks, of this city, and 

 other members of the executive committee 

 of the Illinois State Florists' Association 

 met at the University Club December 27 

 to discuss plans for the meeting of the 

 association, to be held at the university 

 in February. Members of the faculty of 

 the horticultural department of the col- 

 lege of agriculture were included in the 

 conference and, ^hile no definite program 

 was made up, plans for the convention 

 were outlined so that arrangements may 

 now be completed expeditiously. 



The convention is to be held February 

 15 and 16, and will be attended by prom- 

 inent florists from all parts of Illinois. 

 In connection with the meeting will be a 

 trade exhibition. On the evening of Jan- 

 uary 15, if the tentative plans are fol- 

 lowed, a banquet will be held. 



The meeting at the university will be 

 of more than ordinary interest to the 

 florists, inasmuch as their interest centers 

 in a large degree in the experiment green- 

 houses at the university, which were es 

 tablished at the instigation of the asso- 

 ciation. An advisory committee ap- 

 pointed by the association operates in 

 conjunction with the university in con- 

 ducting experiments. 



The executive committee will hold an- 

 other meeting in Chicago sometime in 

 January to make more definite plans. 

 Messrs. Washburn, of Bloomington, and 

 Ammann, of Edwardsville, were other 

 members of the executive .committee pres- 

 ent. H. B. Dorner represented the uni- 

 versity. 



Galesburg, III. — Holiday trade at I. 

 L. Pillsbury's was a little better than a 

 year ago. There was plenty of cut stock, 

 except red carnations and red roses. 

 The demand was principally for nice bed- 

 'ling plants. 



Beaumont, Tex.— C. J. Axleson, of the 

 Southeast Texas Floral Co., has had such 

 excellent results with carnations that he 

 asserts he has answered in the aflSrmative 

 that frequently asked question: "Can 

 the carnation be grown successfully in 

 the gulf states?" 



Malta, O.— "W. C. Scovell's trade 

 luring 1909 has in most respects been 

 the best in all his experience. He has 

 recently spent several hundred dollars in 

 improvements, and his place is now in 

 arst-class condition. He thinks it will 

 O" necessary to enlarge his range in the 

 near future, however, in order to take 

 '"are of the increasing business.
