OMAHA, NEB. 



At a meeting of the Omaha Florists' 

 Club, April 10, and at the request of Ed. 

 Williams, president of the Nebraska 

 State Florists' Society, it was decided 

 to send a call to the florists of the 

 state for a voluntary cash contribution 

 for the relief of Hans Jensen, at Forty- 

 ninth and Leavenworth streets, whose 

 greenhouses and home were destroyed 

 by the tornado Easter Sundav, March

NEW ORLEANS, LA. 



The New Orleans Horticultural So- 

 ciety held its first monthly meeting 

 April 17 at its new quarters in the 

 spacious, handsomely furnished meeting 

 room of the Progressive Union, corner 

 St. Charles and Common streets. A large 

 gathering of members was present. Pres- 

 ident Herman Doescher opened the 

 meeting and Secretary C. R. Panter 

 introduced the first speaker of the eve- 

 ning. Dr. G. Holt, president of the park- 

 ing commission. In his subject, "Rules 

 and Regulations of the Parking Commis- 

 sion," the speaker stated that the city 

 assumed the right to plant all public 

 highways, protected by the law in the 

 person of the city attorney. Nobody 

 has a right to plant or have planted any 

 tree, shrub or plant on any of the 

 city''s highways. Everything to be 



planted must be approved by the park- 

 ing commission. The first example of 

 its work is the present style of planting 

 and beautifying the city's highways, 

 started during the winter months. 



A short discussion followed the 

 speaker's interesting remarks, after 

 which P. A. Chopin made a motion to 

 appoint a committee to confer with the 

 parking commission to obtain informa- 

 tion governing concessions to plant trees 

 and shrubs on the public highways. The 

 following were appointed: Harry Pap- 

 worth, F. A. Quinette and Peter Chopin. 



The next speaker introduced was Glen 

 Fleming^ secretary of the Southern 

 States Fair and Pan-American Exposi- 

 tion. He gave a clear outline of the ob- 

 ject of the coming exposition, to be held 

 in the fall of 1914, and to be interna- 

 tional in its scope. The buildings to be 

 erected will be permanent and destined 

 to show to the world the great resources 

 of the south, each state erecting its own 

 building for its exhibits. The speaker 

 asked the cooperation of the members 

 of the society in beautifying the 

 grounds and the interior of Horticul- 

 tural hall, stating that the florists 

 should look upon it as their building 

 and help to show what can be done 

 here in the line of horticulture. Mr. 

 Fleming invited the members of the 

 society to visit him at his office to give
