■ HVJ-. • August 23. 1906. The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 843 and on August 7, 1906, wrote the fol- lowing letter: Boston, August 7, 1906. Mr. T. M. Jones, Mgr., U. S. Express Company, j^ 30 Broadway, New York, N. Y. «*^ Dear Sir: Referring to my letter of May 11, 1906, which thus far remains unanswered, I beg to state that In view of the universal sentiment of protest on the part of flower growers who are members of our society, and whose Interests are affected by the advanced rates on flowers shipped from producers In your territory to the New York wholesale market, I deem It to be my duty to submit this matter to the Interstate Commerce Commission for investigation and ad- justment, as is my privilege under the provisions of Section 13 of the amended Interstate Com- merce Act, unless I receive some assurance from you that the increased charges complained of will be given prompt reconsideration by your company. It would give me much pleasure to be able to report to our society at its convention in Dayton, Ohio, August 21-24, that the United States Express Co. had taken this question un- der advisement, and I hope to be able to an- nounce a rate which would be generally accepted as just and reasonable. Yours respectfully, (Signed) WM. J. STEWART, Secretary. This letter shared the same fate as its predecessor, no acknowledgment having thus far been received. I believe we have a good case- I know that the Inter- state Commerce Commission will give us a prompt and courteous hearing, and hope we shall be able to arrange for the appearance of our legislative committee with necessary witnesses before that body at an early date. Eegarding the domestic-grown narcis- sus bulbs exhibited by a Virginia grower last year, which were submitted to J. F. Sullivan for testing, that gentleman reports that he gave them identically the same treatment that was given the for- eign-grown bulbs of the same varieties, and found the flowering qualities to be of substantially the same good value. Medals have b§en delivered during the last year as follows: Bobert Craig & Son, Philadelphia, a bronze medal for Ticus pandurata, ex- hibited at the Washington convention. Louis Wittbold, a bronze medal, for mechanical watering system, exhibited at the Washington convention. Dennison School, Washington, D. C, through Miss Susan B. Sipe, bronze medal for superior work in gardening, October 16, 1905. Through the American Carnation So- ciety, January 24, 1906, a silver medal to the Cottage Gardens Co., for Carna- tion Mrs. C. W. Ward; a bronze medal to the Cottage Gardens Co., for Carna- tion Kobert Craig. Through the Cincinnati Florists' So- ciety, March 10, 1906, a silver medal to R. Witterstaetter, for Carnation After- glow ; a bronze medal to the Minneapolis Floral Co., for Rose Miss Kate Moulton.
