. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 64; The American Florist. Jan 26 "Flowers and Poetry" and "Florists and ; Glancing over the carnation number the opening remarks by Mr. Paul Hull in his humorous speech ;it the World's Fair banquet of the Chicago Florist Club in '91 are called forcibly to mind, and as his speech was not reported at the time it may not be otit of place to make mention of it now. lie began as follows: "Gentlemen: One of my fondly cherished ideals has been crushed to earth; therefore blame me not if I am sad. Since I have been large enough to think for myself I have always associated flowers and poetry and florists and poets together in my mind, but. gentlemen, permit me to ob- serve that you are the rummest looking lot of poets I have ever seen gathered to- gether. Now, gentlemen, holding the opinions that I did regarding florists, when I heard that 'Uncle John' was com- ing to take chargeof the Bureau of posies and poesj' I naturally expected to see in his person the poet of Ihe poets, and, gen- tlemen, imagine my feelings when 'Uncle John'walked in with whiskeis on his wishbone!" Mr. Hull's further re- marks in this line were completely drowned out by the roars of laughter that greeted his several sallies, and for the moment he was kept busy dodging the biscuits and other missiles thrown at him by Mr. Thorpe. Now, I wish to submit the carnation number of the American Florist to Mr. Hull as evidence that his ideals were all right and that his change of base was premature. M. C. Patents Recently Granted.
