SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS. 



Twenty-eighth Annual Convention. 



i:\cn at this date all arraiij^emeiit s 

 are aliout ((Uiii'ieted for the eiitertain- 

 iiicnt nt the \ isitors to this eonvention. 

 I'Ai'rv detail for tlieir eonifort and en- 

 joyment has lieeii taken care of by 

 some coiiiinittee. i'lxcryoiie coimeeted 

 with the husiiiess in any way is an\ 

 ions to do somethin;; and has done some- 

 thing; to h(d|i make this the haiiner eon 

 \{'iitiuM in the history (d' the society. 



Those who have not liceii fortunate 

 enough to hear L. W. ( . 'I'nthill talk 

 on advertisiiij: lia\e .a i>leas;iiit surprise 

 awaitiny. them on \Vednes<iay morniujj, 

 when he entertains us with his jiaper, 

 " .\d\('rt isiiiu; Some Wroii<is to Make 

 h'i-^ht."" It has heen the privilege of 

 the writer to hear jiart of the lecture 

 tliat will lie ;ii\eii l>y Fred V.. W. Brown 

 and see many ot the suhjects lie will 

 liresent with his illustrated lecture on 

 ••Floral Desij^nin^' ■; this will lie the 

 attractive and interesting: feature of 

 Wednesday e\»'iiiii^"s session. 



J'.eiisinjiei 's bowlinfj alleys, L".t West 

 Uandol|ih street, where the annual bowl- 

 ing tournament takes jilaee 'riuirsday, 

 ,ire new alleys, and arran^fineiits have 

 lu'eii made for the conifortalile seatinjj; 

 of the spe<tators and "rooters. '' 



li'avini.i I'ark, the most noted and ex- 

 cjusixc resoit near C'liica;^o, wliere the 

 tlay's entertainment will take place on 

 Friday, is a ))eantifiil place, and at no 

 pre\ imis coii\ention ha\<' there been 

 >U(h favorable grounds and lawns to 

 carry out tlie )ii(igrain of outdoor sports 

 and the liaseliall f^ame. The band con- 

 cert and grand opera are of the liigh 

 c>t i|uality and the conductor has an 

 ml ci iiat ional repufat ion. 



LiUHlieon will be s(>r\'ed upon the 

 arrisal of the party at the jiark. and 

 dinnei' in the e\ening. 



X'isiters to the com ciition should not 

 let anything jirevent their being present 

 on this tri]i, when such (daborate prepa- 

 rations ha\'e been made for their pleas- 

 ure. All of the business sessions of the 

 society \vill be talu'ii up with important 

 business matters and discussions. Taken 

 all together, it is going to be a busy 

 con\ cntioii. 



Xothing has been left undone for the 

 entertainment of the ladies. Automo- 

 bile rides, entertainment at the e.xclu- 

 si\(' South Shore ("ouutry Club and 

 many other attract ixc and interesting 

 trijis ha\e been provided for, and the 

 ladies of Chicago are holding fretjuent 

 meetings to provid(> even additional en- 

 tertaininent. Many a male \ isitor will 

 eii\y the ladies at this convention. 



At this date many reservations have 

 been matle at the dill'ereiit liotids, show- 

 ing the great interest that is being 

 taken by the ilorists and representa- 

 ti\('s of tlie allied trades in all parts of 

 the country. 



The list of exhibitors, juiblisheil else- 

 where, sjieaks for itself. 'I'o avoid con- 

 fusion :ind sa\(! time at the convention, 

 lines may be sent to the secretary, now 

 at the .\uditorium hotel, Chicago, and 

 receipt and 1!ML' button will be returned 

 immediately. This button has already 

 been si'iit to those who ha\(' jiaid dues 

 lor 1912. 



Apjdications i'or membership may also 

 be sent to the same address and the 

 Il'll* button will be returned. 



Any incjuiry regarding hotel accom- 

 modations will be turned over to the 

 local hotel committee for a itronipt 

 reidy. This will be an ojiportunity to 

 see one of the greatest and most hos- 

 jiitable cities in the world, and if you 

 <lo not take advantage of it at this 

 time, you will regret not doing so to 

 the end of your days. And if the kind 

 treatment and many courtesies that 

 lia\(' been showered upon your secre- 

 tary since he has been here are a sam- 

 ]>\i- of wh;it they intend doing for every 

 \ i-.itnr. I can only say <'<)MI-;i
