Ammann, Ed- Washburn, lEETING in the afternoon following the closing of the American C:u nation So- ciety's sessions, January 22, in the Eed room of Hotel La Salle, the Illinois State Florists' Association trans- acted its annual business, chiefly the election of officers and the hearing of reports from the society's foster-child, the experiment station at Urbana.
