The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



Sbpibmber 23, 1909. 



SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Qub Meeting. 



The first meeting of the Spriugfiekl 

 Florists' Club for tho fall was held on 

 the evening of September 13, with a good 

 iittendance and a lively interest in all 

 j)roceedings, principal of which was the 

 annual election of oflScers. Geo. H. Mel- 

 len, who served as president for the year 

 1907-1908, and Geo. D. Leedle, who has 

 been secretary for the last two years, 

 liad both been renominated, but each ad- 

 vocated rotation of oflScers and moved the 

 election of the opposing candidates by 

 acclamation. The corps of oflScers elected 

 is as follows: Eoger H. Murphey, of 

 Urbana, president; Charles M. Niufifer, 

 vice-president; Carl E. Glenn, secretary, 

 and Harry C. Reeser, treasurer. 



Mr. Murphey responded to calls for 

 a speech by inviting the club to become 

 his guests at the next meeting of the 

 club, Monday evening, October 11, which 

 invitation was unanimously accepted, and 

 the members then attending will leave on 

 the 6:05 p. m. interurban car for Urbana. 



The florists of Urbana, O., not being 

 suflBcient in number to maintain a club 

 of their own, are aflSliated with the 

 Springfield Florists' Club to the extent 

 of four members. Florally speaking, this 

 ])eautiful little town is considered a sub- 

 urb of Springfield, its florists having for 

 the most part obtained their experience 

 here. The distance is only fourteen miles 

 over either steam or trolley lines, and 

 transportation is quick and convenient. 

 As a matter of fact, Springfield considers 

 florists anywhere within a radius of 100 

 miles as being eligible to membership in 

 its club. 



The new Hydrangea arborescens gran- 

 diflora alba was the subject of a consid- 

 erable amount of discussion, our alert 

 and keen-eyed florists having discovered 

 that two similar sorts are on the market, 

 the true variety producing larger florets 

 and panicles and forcing readily. Atten- 

 tion was called to a fall circular issued 

 by the E. G. Hill Co., of Richmond, Ind., 

 the language of which might cause the 

 impression that Springfield stocks are of 

 the inferior sort, whereas the opposite 

 is true, the original plants from which 

 the greater portion of stock grown here 

 was propagated having been purchased 

 from the E. G. Hill Co. Ge. Dale. 



Friday is a lucky day, for it always
