FLORAL CLUBS— AN EXCELLENT IDEA. 



I have just been looking over the 

 subjects for discussion at the next 

 meeting of our Floral Club, and it oc- 

 curred to me that the readers of The 

 Floral World might care to hear how 

 we Texans are trying to promote the 

 love for and increase the cultivation 

 of flowers in our town. 



Our club grew out of the desire of 

 flve or six ladies to meet and "talk 

 flowers." From that it has grown to 

 a membership of twenty-eight or 

 thirty. We meet every other Tuesday 

 at the homes of the members and 

 spend an hour most delightfully in dis- 

 cussing flowers and their needs, eacn 

 giving the rest the benefit of her ex- 

 perience, and, in fact, enjoying an 

 (unpublished) Floral World. Last 

 fall we held a most successful flower 

 shov/, chrysanthemums constituting 

 the principal feature. This May we 

 will have another, with flowers and 

 plants of all descriptions. We offer 

 simple prizes to induce outsiders to 

 exhibit, and charge a small door fee 

 to defray expenses. Why not have 

 more floral clubs? They are educa- 

 tional and refining.
