. Florists' review [microform]. Floriculture. ^-4 ILLINOIS SOCIETY xr X VISITS URBANA Floricultural Department of University of Illinois entertains Illinois State Florists' Association. Tenth annual convention, March 2 and 3, draws enthusiastic attendance to inspect work inaugurated by florists of state. Plan of two meetings a year, one at Urhana, is adopted by OMPLETING its first dec- ade of existence, the Illi- nois State Florists' Asso- ciation held its annual convention March 2 and 3 at the institution which it was the object of the organization, at its found- ing, to establish—the de- partment of floriculture at the University of Illinois. So helpful was this meeting with the workers at the state experiment station, that it was decided hereafter to hold a meet- ing there once a year, in addition to the regular annual convention of the society. By keeping closely in touch with each other, the florists and the members of the department of floricul- ture at the univer- sity hope to increase the mutual benefit derived from ihejj;,,, meeting. At the s^m« time, the members of the organization feel that they will be additionally benefited by gathering together oftener than once a year. The opportunity to inspect the equip- ment and work of the university in their particular field was the prime object of the fiorists who gathered at Urbana. They found not only a splendid equipment and marked achieve- ments, but also great ambitions to carry the work still far- ther as the size of the establishment in- creased. Research work occupies the time of five men in the department, and five others are en- gaged in instructional work in floriculture, with twenty-two stu- dents. The landscape department is larger, having sixty-two en- rolled. Both sections are increasing rapid- ly in accomplishment and enrollment. The attendance of florists at the gath- ering was not large, OFFICERS ELECTED. President. C. W. Johnson, Morgan Park. First Vice-president. I. L. Pills
