tions are not exhibiting this year and 

 offer as. a reason the charge of 40 cents 

 ])er foot for space. It should not be 

 forgotten that in big cities great halls 

 are not to be had for nothing. This 

 year the S. A. F. pays $2,000 rent, as 

 against nothing at all in recent years. 

 Trade exhibitors at the National Flower 

 Show at New York next spring will pay 

 $1 per square foot for space. 



Next week's convention will be held 

 in the same building that housed two 

 recent national political conventions. 

 The trade 's display will be in the great 

 hall where the republicans nominated 

 Taft and the progressives nominated 

 Roosevelt and Johnson. The hall in the 

 second floor of the annex, where the 

 S. A. F. business sessions will be held, is 

 where the Taft credentials committee 

 used the famous steam roller that made 

 the Bull Moose party necessary.

THE TRADE AND THE PUBLIC, 



The following is an extract from the 

 printed Proceedings of the Twenty- 

 fourth Annual Convention of the So- 

 ciety of American Florists, 1908, pages 

 S7 and 88: 



"Mr. .T. Otto Thilow, of Philadelphia, 

 obtained permission to make a state- 

 ment and said that the exhibitors in 

 the trade display had been much ham- 

 pered by the public freely passing 

 through the exhibition rooms and over- 

 crowding them so that neither the ex- 

 hibitors nor the florists could do any 

 l>usiness. He said this had occurred 

 every evening during the convention; 

 that the exhibitors came to the conven- 

 tion for a specific purpose, and for that 

 leason were charged for space for their 

 displays; that they did not come for 

 the Iteuefit fif the public of Niagara 



Philip J. Foky. 



iProsident Chlcnt'o Florists' Cluh.) 



Falls or any other city, but-to meet the 

 visiting florists and exhibit their goods 

 to them, while the local public were 

 not interested in the convention, but 

 encroached upon the property on exhibi- 

 tion and interfered with the transac- 

 tion of business. He presented a peti- 

 tion which, he said, contained the sig- 

 natures of forty-three exhibitors, ask- 

 ing that the public be excluded. It 

 read as follows: 'We, the undersigned 

 exhibitors in the trade display of the 

 S. A. F., respectfully petition the so- 

 ciety to hereafter exclude the general 

 public from the annual trade exhibi- 

 tion, except on Thursday afternoon.' 



"He also offered the following reso- 

 lution: 'That the society will hereafter 

 exclude the general public from the an- 

 nual trade exhibition, except on Thurs- 

 day afternoon.' 



"Mr. .John Westcott suggested that 

 some arrangement might be made for 

 the admission of the public by ticket. 

 He said he was opposed to admitting 

 anybody and everj'body indiscriminate- 

 ly, and he thought some regulation was 

 necessary. 



"Mr. \V. F. Gude expressed the opin- 

 ion that the exhibitors were entitled to 

 have their request granted as a matter 

 of justice to them. He said that this 

 morning he had noticed two baby car- 

 riages being pushed through the aisles 

 in one of the rooms which was already 

 much congested with visitors and 



uncomfortable for the people in it. 

 "The president stated the question, 

 when the resolution of Mr. Thilow was 

 adopted without objection."

RHODE ISLAND TO CHICAGO. 



Louis .1. Reuter, of Westerly, R. I., 

 state vice-president of the S. A. F.. 

 has addressed the following to the flo- 

 rists of that great little state: 



Your state vlco-presldont is endeavoring to 

 make arrangements with the Boston party ii' 

 regard to the trip to the S. .\. F. convention in 

 Chicago August 20 to 24. After going over the 

 matter carefully it has been thought best to 

 leave Boston on the 2:00 p. m. train Sunday. 

 August 18, which arrives in Chicago Monday 

 afternoon. A special car will be provided if 

 enough signify intention of going and we hope 

 that all that can go will notify us at the earliest 

 possible moment.
