Qub Meeting. 



The March 12 meeting of the Spring- 

 field Florists' Club was well attended 

 and a lively interest was taken in vari- 

 ous matters discussed for the good of 

 the trade in general and the local re- 

 tailers in particular. 



Reports were received from the spe- 

 cial committee on the fall flower show 

 which had been appointed at the previ- 

 ous meeting. A representative of this 

 committee had presented the project to 



the board of managers of the Y. W. 

 C. A., and it was reported that the 

 women associated with this organization 

 were unanimously in favor of cooperat- 

 ing with the Florists' Club in a matter 

 so likely to prove of general public in- 

 terest and wliich would doubtless reflect 

 credit upon the city and all concerned 

 in its management. The top floor of the 

 Fairbanks building was suggested as an 

 ideal place in which to hold the show, 

 which will be made to assume the pro- 

 portions of a society event, but at the 

 same time the admission fee will be kept 

 within the reach of all, so that in the

two or three days' run, the exhibition 

 may be viewed by a large percentage of 

 the population of Springfield and sur- 

 rounding territory. 



After some discussion, the prevailing 

 opinion was expressed that it was time 

 to cease talk and at once begin prepara- 

 tions for the holding of such a show 

 during the first week in November or as 

 near that time as might later be deter- 

 mined, so as to time the show with a 

 view of striking the best possible date 

 to catch chrysanthemums in their glory. 

 Every member of the club present, includ- 

 ing practically all of the leading floral 

 concerns of the city, pledged his sup- 

 port and promised to make some kind 

 •of an exhibit. 



Since Springfield has comparatively 

 few growers of cut flowers, this show 

 must necessarily take the character of a 

 miscellaneous exhibition, and it will con- 

 sequently be necessary for the plant 

 growers and mail order florists to do 

 some* special planting soon in order to 

 have in readiness some novelties or speci- 

 mens of interest to the public. A list of 

 premiums is in course of preparation and 

 competition may be opened to local 

 amateurs and to out-of-tOwn florists. 



An executive committee was appointed 

 to have charge of the show, consisting 

 of Roger Murphy (president, ex-officio), 

 C. L. Reese and C. P. Bethard for the 

 local retailers, and John M. Good and 

 George D. Leedle for the wholesale 

 growers. 



Various Notes. 



The Schmidt & Botley Co. has recently 

 completed a well constructed cold-storage 

 house, 60x96, in which to carry a stock 

 of shrubbery, fruit trees, etc. Orders for 

 this class of stock have heretofore been 

 sent to an out-of-town nurseis^ to be 

 filled, but this has been the cause of 

 vexatious delays, annoyance and loss of 

 profits. Much of it will hereafter be 

 grown on thirty acres of land, south of 

 the city, which was recently jiurchased, 

 and a large stock will be wintered in 

 the cold-storage plant. Ge Dale.
