NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



By order of the executive committee 

 of the New York Florists ' Club the sec- 

 retary has sent the following call to all 

 jthe state organizations, urging upon 

 them the importance of prompt action: 

 A. cIll to the florists of the empire 



STATE. 



We believe. that, the .public Interests and activi- 

 ties of the florists of 'New York state need con- 

 soUdatlne through the formation of a state 

 organization. You will agree with us in this If 

 you will but stop long enough to give the subject 

 a most superficial consideration. 



The florists of the state are organized locally, 

 but the florists are the only Important group of 

 the great family of agricultural Interests not 

 represented bv a state association. It is true 

 that we have never asked the state for anything, 

 and therefore the need of state organization may 

 not have been apparent. But the fact that we 

 have not asked is not because we have not needed 

 any help. Rather Is this attitude due to the 

 traditional Independence of the florists. We do 

 need help, and we should be in a position to ask 

 assistance. 



THE FIRST THING TO DO. 



Plainly this is to effect an organization which 

 shall represent the florists In matters legislative. 

 In affairs commercial, in questions educational. 

 In all these things the florists are vitally, per- 

 sonally, deeply Interested. 



This new organization, if effected, should not 

 need t» usurp the function of the clubs of the 

 state Ih discussing questions of culture, of green- 

 house management and general florlcultural 

 practice, but would concern itself only with 

 affairs of state-wide Importance under the three 

 heads cited above. You will agree with us we 

 have much need for an organization of this kind. 

 HOW SHALL WE GO AT IT? 



I^et each club appoint two delegates to attend 

 a delegate conference to be held at the New 

 York State College of Agriculture, Ithaca, N. Y. 

 The purpose of this conference will be to effect 

 an organization which shall properly represent 

 the large florlcultural interests of the state. This 

 body of delegates shall be authorized to complete 

 such an organization as In their wisdom deem 

 appropriate, though each club may charge its 

 personal delegates with such instructions as are 

 deemed wise and fitting. . ^^ „ 



The Department of Horticulture of the New 

 York State College of Agriculture offers the 

 visiting delegates facilities for holding the meet- 

 ing, and the members of the staff of the depart- 

 ment will gladly aid the movement to the full 

 extent of their ability. 



ISSUANCE OF THE CALL. 



This call Is issued by the New York Florists' 

 Club, not because it has any prior right to take 

 the initiative, but because it Is necessary that 

 some one of the New York state clubs should 

 start the movement. 



Win yon Join the movement and notify us 

 whom vou have appointed as official delegate? 



John Young, Sec'y.

the day after the ground hog saw his 

 shadow and the trade has settled down 

 resignedly to another six weeks of win- 

 ter temperature and the early advent 

 of forty days of lenten dullness. In the 

 meantime everyone is preparing for the 

 early Easter and the plantsmen espe- 

 cially have a wonderful assortment on 

 the way. Business with the retailers 

 has improved, the worst January on 

 record having added largely to the 

 death Tate, while the number of ban- 

 quets, receptions and theater parties 

 is on the increase as the days of sack- 

 cloth and ashes approach.
