Dear Dorothy:
Once again it is time to make final plans for all activities during our 7Jrd Annual Convention in New York, March 9-11,1967.
I sincerely hope that the Colorado Flower Growers Association will award another Hamilton Automatic Gold Watch again next year. All awards will be made at the Presidential Banquet on Saturday night.
Please let me know their decision soon, for publication in the Premium Schedule.
Check with Harry about the O.K. on the Ad. Hope that you had a successful Conference.

Dear Member: 1001 S. 54TH STREET PHILADELPHIA. PA. 19143 AREA CODE 215 G R 4-5406 -ANDREW H. STRANG EXECUTIVE SECRETARY-TREASURERAs convention chairman it is my privilege to outline some of the activities we have planned for your enlightenment and pleasure.
This is the first time that we have had the opportunity to hold
a convention concurrent with a Flower Show and what more could you ask for in seeing how flowers can be used and promoted. Each and
every registrant will receive a ticket to the Coliseum to be used at your convenience.
The Competitive Show will be staged in an air conditioned room which can be maintained at optimum temperature so that your competitive flowers will be shown to their best advantage.
On Friday the men will travel to A.N. Piersons, one of the largest greenhouse ranges in the
u.s ••
We will tour their range and then haveour first business meeting there.
Friday evening should be an enjoyable one for those who take ad-vantage of the tickets to Radio City Music Hall. This is the largest theater of its kind and we hope that the Easter Show will be presented
at that time. If this is the case it will be even more fascinating.
But, please get in your reservations, because we were able to purchase
only 150 tickets and they will be reserved on a first come first serve basis.
I have always felt that a convention is sucessful in direct p
ro-portion to the enjoyment of the wives attending the convention and I
feel that the program we have planned will whet the appetitie of all you ladies, but I would rather have my wife, Jane, explain the ladies program in greater detail in a subsequent mailing. One thing I can assure you ladies is that we will not ride you through the marble
~anyons of New York so that all you see is steel and concrete.
For those of you who are arriving early we are hoping to have a
tour of the one and only Greenwich Village where you can see the boys? and their dates? in their natural habitat. This is optional and is not
included in the registration fee.
Also for those of you who are nostalgic and would like to take one of the last nickel rides in the country you ean ride the ferry from Lower Manhattan to Staten Island and view the Statue of Liberty enroute.
Sound 1nteresting1 well then make this year the year to visit the

Don't miss a great opportunity to visit New York City!
Come along with your husband for the American Carnation Society's Convention being held March 9th, 10th, and 11th.
Rather than exhaust you by trying to show you the whole city in two short days from the window of a bus, we on the committee have aimed to please you bg planning visits to two of the most interesting centers in the city. All of us are fully aware of the significance of the United Nations and a guided tour including a visit to the Gift Center should prove both interesting and fascinating.
For those of you who possibly may not know, the Lincoln Center is the newest and finest cultural center in the world and to have lunch at the "Top of the Met" is the ultimate.
· Free time has been provided on Thursday morning and all day
Saturday so that you may visit other interesting places of your choice, attend the Flower Show, go shopping, or what-ever may suit your fancy. I'm sure you111 have no problems of 'time on your hands in this busy
and exciting city.
In March our thoughts are of Spring, with its bright sunny days and especially its balmy terperatures. We will do all we can to provide these for you. It's not impossible but in case we can't quite swing it, do come prepared for cold weather. Hats are not necessary in New York City, but after a millinery fashion show do we dare to dine at the "Top of the Met" without one?
Do come and allow us to entertain you in this wonderful city. I 1m looking forward to seeing you all in order to renew old
friend-ships and make many new ones.
Sincerely,

DENVER. COLORADO
Eleven years ago Jack Davis, Davis Bros., Florists, originated the Jeffco Midget Football program. Two thousand boys are now enrolled. One hundred and twenty-five of these made a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah on Thanksgiving Day to play in the Beehive Bowl there. Their Boaches, Harry Heintz of Callaham's tvholesale Florists and Bill Nacy of Bright Spot, accompanied them as did a number of parents. The trip was paid for by: Manatee Fruit, gladiolus growers in Florida; Callaham's Wholesale Florists and Denver \·lholesale Florists, Denverr Continental Wholesale Florists and Jewel Foilage, both of San An~onio, Texas, and Sherman Orchids of California. The trip was made by train.
Before leaving,the boys met with the governor of Colorado, Gov. John Love and were photographed as he gave them a large bouquet of red Colorado carnations to present to the governor of Utah.
On their arrival in Salt Lake City they were met by their opponents and on the "buddy system" were their house guests. Jack Davis of Davis Bros., Florists donated enough Colorado carnations for each boy to give to his hostess a half dozen blooms. These went to 60 households. After meeting the governor, the boys were taken by bus on a tour of the city, the copper mines and had a chance to view the Great Salt Lake.
