protection for the retail florist from the 

 wholesale growers. 



Charles C. Leedle favored the flower 

 show project, provided the attendance be 

 placed in the hands of some such or- 

 ganization as the Y. W. C. A. 



B. C. Blake claimed Springfield 

 florists could grow as good cut flowers as 

 ;tny place on earth, winter or summer. 



Harvey N. Siegenthaler advocated a 

 tiimpaign of education to encourage out- 

 <loor planting, and some arrangement be- 

 tween wholesalers and retailers for the 

 s.vstematic disposal of any possible sur- 

 I'his of stock each spring. 



Ben F. Howell, by reason of being a 

 "ovice, and Alexander Maxwell, for not 

 wishing to interfere in "family mat- 

 'crs," excused themselves from making 

 ■'»y extended remarks. 



Charles W. Schmidt told a few stories 

 I" ^'s usual style, explaining that a 



iJutchman" was pretty likely to get 



|"e^ point of a story turned "hind-end- 



9' and then earnestly expressed his 



' '<'^vs. in which he claimed that the local 



trade situation was clearly up to the re- 

 tailers for betterment. 



Geo. D. Leedle endorsed the views of 

 Mr. Schmidt and held that the retailers 

 had no case against the wholesalers until 

 they should themselves get together, or- 

 ganize and formulate some joint demand 

 for presentation to the wholesale grow- 

 ers. 



Frank E. Good stated that his com- 

 pany would be willing to comply with 

 any united and reasonable request com- 

 ing from the retailers. 



Christian Binning, for the Geo. H. 

 Mellen Co., spoke of conditions in the 

 mail-order trade, said that his company 

 had refrained from selling to department 

 stores, except in one unimportant in- 

 stance, and urged a greater degree of 

 harmony and cooperation between the 

 local retailers. 



Leman Bradford, of the Springfield 

 Floral Co., referred to the comparatively 

 fair prices at which plants had been sold 

 to the department store trade, although 



in some cases they had been retailed at 

 less than cost. 



Carl E. Glenn, of the American Rose 

 and Plant Co., explained the department 

 store trade from the standpoint of the 

 grower. 



Gustave Schneider opened his remarks 

 by stating that "flowers in Springfield 

 have no value," yet, in many cases he 

 had been under the necessity of having 

 stock shipped into town in order to ob- 

 tain an adequate supply for his trade, 

 and concluded by saying that it was im- 

 material to him whether or not flowers 

 were handled by the department stores, 

 the view being taken by many that this 

 trade is just so much net increase and, 

 in fact, is somewhat of an educator to 

 the public in acquiring the habit of buy- 

 ing plants. 



Altogether this was one of the most 

 interesting and spicy sessions of the club, 

 the prevailing sentiment being that the 

 retailers must do their proper part, with 

 resultant benefits and profits to them- 

 selves. Ge Dale.
