NEW YORKERS TO ORGANIZE? 



In the following letter to the flo- 

 rists' clubs of the state, the floricul- 

 tural department at Cornell, the State 

 Experiment Station, proposes an organ- 

 ization of the florists of the state to 

 push trade interests. Here is the letter: 



New York stands first among all the states of 

 ilie Union on tbe basis of the importance of her 

 llorlcuitural investments. Notwithstanding this, 

 she has failed for the past two years to interest 

 the legislators at Albany sufficiently to secure 

 an appropriation for the express purpose of pro- 

 moting the floricultural industry. 



The florists of Illinois, by united effort, have 

 secured appropriations aggregating $80,000, 

 which have been employed or are to be used for 

 buildings, equipment, and to assist investigations 

 in behalf of commercial floriculture. These 

 appropriations have been secured by concerted, 

 well organized effort. 



In New York the fruit Interests are thoroughly 

 organized and secure continuous aid from the 

 state. The various farming industries are also 

 recognized by legislative assistance, especially 

 designed to promote their particular features. 

 New York has a considerable number of live, 

 hustling florists' clubs. These are in the main 

 doing splendid work in maintaining local interest 

 and spreading information regarding floricultural 

 practice. There is, however, little or no coopera- 

 tion between these clubs. 



TTrs the time arrived for a federation of in- 

 tiTests? May we not effect a state organization 

 to take charge of questions of state-wide sig- 

 niflcmce? Such a state organization would in 

 no way supplant the function of local clubs or 

 societies, but would be expected to act more 

 iffectlveiy on all legislative questions and prob- 

 loms affecting the whole state. The opportuni- 

 ties for expanding floricultural interests are 

 freat. 



Can tiie florists of tlie Empire State do more 

 to bring before the public the desirability of 

 expending greater effort in beautifying home 

 grounds with flowers and plants? 



Is there opportunity for cooperation with civic 

 improvement organizations and the great school 

 frardening movement? 



Are the florists of New York State interested 

 in promoting the next national flower show to be 

 liold in New York city in 1913? 



Are the florists of the state interested in the 

 '■^^t.'^lllishment of a floricultural hall at the State 

 I'alr? 



Are the florists of the Empire State ready and 

 willing to throw their influence with a movement 

 to secure an appropriation for the erection and 

 <'qnlpment of a range of glass at the State Col- 

 lege of Agriculture, to be devoted exclusively to 

 the solving of problems in commercial floricul- 

 ture? 



These are some of the problems which might 

 be effectively assisted by a state organization. 



Is this a subject in which your club is inter- 

 ested, and if so, might it not be well to use it 

 as a text for a discussion at one of your early 

 meetings ? 



The Department of Horticulture of the New 

 York State College of Agriculture stands ready to 

 Jissist in every way in its power any movement 

 of this kind. If thought wise, a meeting, at 

 which your club should be represented by dele- 

 gate or delegates, can be called at the New York 

 State College of Agriculture at any time agreed 

 upon by a majority of the clubs of the state. 

 This meeting could readily pass upon constitution 

 and by-laws and effect an organization, and the 

 florists of the Empire State would then be able
