The Fbrists' Review 



OCTOBBB 24, 1912. 



BOCHESTEB, N. Y. 



Banking and currency, not flowers or 

 the coming flower show, were the chief 

 topics under discussion at the meeting 

 of the Bochester Florists' Association 

 October 14. The speakers were Dr. 

 Frank T. Stockton, instructor in eco- 

 nomics and history at the University 

 of Rochester, and Joseph T. Murray, 

 of the J. S. Bache Co. Both men said 

 that the system of banking in this coun- 

 try was the worst in the world, that the 

 United States was the only country in 

 the world subject to financial panics 

 and that such panics went in cycles. 

 If the cycle theory holds good, one of 

 the speakers said the United States 

 will soon be in the panic zone. After 

 the discussion the association adopted 

 a resolution favoring reform in the 

 national banking system. 



Several members of the committees 

 working on the flower show, which will 

 open at noon on election day in Conven- 

 tion hall and continue through Novem- 

 ber 9, made informal reports. C. H. 

 Vick, chairman of the general commit- 

 tee, said that all the committees were 

 pushing the work, and that he believed 

 the show would be better in every way 

 than the one two years ago, or the show 

 of 1909. The plans for staging as made 

 by William Pitkin, Jr., and Fred L. 

 Trautman have been adopted. In the 

 absence of John Dunbar, president of 

 the association, who was out of town. 

 Vice-president C. B. Ogston presided. 



Pensacol^^ Fla. — Andrew Hauge, for- 

 merly of Birmingham, Ala., is now at 

 the San Carlos Flower Shop, corner 

 Palofox and Garden streets. 



• Waco, Tex. — The greenhouses of James 

 Mohan, on North Ninth street, near Ver- 

 mont street, were recently damaged by 

 fire. The amount of the loss has not 

 been reported. 



Attica, Ind.— The Attica Floral Co., 

 of which W. S. Kircher is proprietor, 

 recently has completed a greenhouse 

 28 X 100, put in a new boiler, twinning 

 it with the old one, built a new office 

 and coal shed and given the entire 

 place an overhauling. Business is in- 

 creasing splendidly.
