The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



January 20, 1910. 



ROCHESTER. 



The progress Eochester is making as 

 a trade center is well shown by the fact 

 that the Commercial Florists ' Association 

 of Eochester is one of the two or three 

 florists' clubs in the United States which 

 has a permanent headquarters. Booms 

 have recently been secured in the Cutler 

 building and furnished for the occupation 

 of the club. It is intended eventually to 

 have the rooms open to the members at 

 all times and to establish a library of 

 trade literature. The step promises to 

 result in a large increase in the already 

 strong membership. 



At the meeting January 10 the ofl&cers 

 of last year were reelected. The regular 

 meetings are held on the second Monday 

 of each month. The club has appointed 

 committees and is well along on the work 

 of preparation for thd entertainment of 

 the S. A. F. annual convention 

 next August. The Eochester conven- 

 tion will be of special importance 

 to the society because, if present plans 

 do not miscarry, it will result in a rad- 

 ical change in the character of the con- 

 ventions. The two most important inno- 

 vations planned are for a public exhibi"-' 

 tion of plants separate from the trades' 

 display, and the division of the busi- 

 ness sessions into sections, each section 

 to be devoted to some special interest. 



At the last meeting of the society it 

 was proposed that its name be shortened 

 to Eochester Florists' Association, the 

 membership to include, besides those on 

 the present roster, nurserymen, seedsmen 

 and gardeners, whether commercial or 

 private in their activities. At the next 

 meeting the dinner committee will be ap- 

 pointed, it having been announced that 

 the association will gather for this social 

 feature as soon as preparations can be 

 completed. It is proposed to make the 

 question box one of the features of the 

 regular meetings. 



One of the significant features of the 

 last meeting was the annual report of 

 Treasurer W. L. Keller. The report in- 

 dicated that the net proceeds from the 

 flower show last fall were $1,498.94, 

 which, with proceeds from other sources, 

 swelled the total income of the associa- 

 tion to $1,637.34, of which sum there is 

 at present in the treasury $1,367.06, as 

 against $12 one year ago. 



Ottawa, Kan. — Holiday trade at the 

 Lester Greenhouse was twenty-five per 

 cent better than a year ago, in both 

 plants and cut flowers. 



Paducah, Ky. — Schmaus Bros, report 

 that holiday trade this season was one- 

 third better than a year ago. Th^ de- 

 mand was about equally divided between 

 cut flowers and plants.
