The Florists^ Review 



June 26. 1913. 



"What the American Seed Trade Has Accom- 

 plished," by Albert McCuUough, of J. M. Mc- 

 CullouKb'8 Sons Co., Cincinnati, O. 



"Cost and Overhead Expense," by L. B. Mc- 

 CauBland, of Ross Bros., Wichita, Kan. 



"Intensified Farming," by James J. Hill, 

 formerly president Great Northern Ry., St. Paul, 

 Minn. 



The paper by Mr. Hill was read at 

 the session Tuesday, June 24, but the 

 distinguished author was not able to 

 attend. It was the man rather than 

 his paper that was of interest to the 

 ^embers and his non-appearance was a 

 keen disappointment to many. 



The paper by J. C. Eobinson also was 

 presented at Tuesday's session, and by 

 its author. It was followed by an ani- 

 mated discussion.

Ghrass Seed Dealers Meet. 



The Wholesale Grass Seed Dealers' 

 Association has learned by experience 

 that it is difficult to get together during 

 the Seed Trade convention, so holds its 

 annual meetings one day ahead of the 

 general body. The fifth annual session 

 at the Statler, Cleveland, June 23, is 

 said to have been devoted principally 

 to the consideration of prices and 

 freight rates. The secretary announces 

 that officers were re-elected, as follows: 



President — A. E. Beynolds, Craw- 

 fordsville, Ind. 



Vice-president — Chas. C Massie, 

 Minneapolis, Minn. 



Secretary-treasurer — John A. Smith, 

 Toledo. ' 



Directors — A. E. Beynolds, J. A. 

 Smith and Marshall Duryea, of New 

 York, for three-year terms. 



Social Features. 



Tuesday afternoon, June 24, fifty 

 automobiles were required to show the 

 visitors the city, a visit being paid to 

 Forest Hill, the Bockefeller estate, the 

 owner having only arrived home that 

 day. 



Tuesday evening a reception was 

 given in the parlors of the Hotel Stat- 

 ler, in honor of President Page. There 

 were music and refreshments. 



Wednesday morning, June 25, Mrs. 

 C. E. Kendel, wife of the secretary,

 nual banquet was held in the banquet

 tion and Civic Influence of School Gar- 

 den Work."
