At the March meeting of the Albany Florists' club a letter was read from W. R. Pierson, chairman of the pub- licity committee of the New York Florist club, calling attention to the advisability of advertising in the local papers the use of flowers for holidays and special occasions. A second let- ter setting forth the idea in more de- tail was read also from a daily news- paper association in New York with which the New York club is co-oper- ating. Both letters were ordered re- ferred to the publicity committee. It is likely that the committee will take up the matter for Easter and conduct a campaign in some of the local papers. Fred A. Danker said that the club should go on record in favor of the bills of Senator S. J. Rampsberger and Assemblyman E. D. Jackson to appro- priate $60,000 for a range of experi- mental greenhouses at the New York State College of Agriculture, Cornell University, Ithaca. A similar bill was introduced in the legislature last year but failed to pass. As an argument in favor of the bill it was shown that in 1909 the value of plants and flowers sold in the state was $5,149,000, an in- crease of $2,281,000 over 1899, or 79 per cent. New York exceeded its near- est rivel, Pennsylvania, in 1909, in the value of its plants and flowers by $1,- 300,000. and Illinois, third on the list, by $1,500,000. The bill was endorsed and the club voted to appoint a com- mittee to call upon Governor Sulzer and to co-operate in favor of the bill. W. C. Gloeckner presented a resolution that the club endorse the movement to re-establish Albany as a port of entry. President Taft at the close of his ad- ministration signed a bill reducing the number of customs districts in the state to four
