Florists To Meet At Hampton, Va.

The seventh annual convention of the International Florists Association, Inc., will convene at Hampton Institute, Va., July 12-15.

As the date nears, members of the Virginia State Florists Association give plans finishing touches to make the convention interesting and worthwhile educationally.

Schools of designing have been planned for Monday and Tuesday. It will be carried out in departments to cover the entire field of floristry, according to W. O. Perry, Miami, president of the I. F. A., Inc.

"Procedures for handling wire order work will also be given," he stated, "as this is one of the main reasons for the I. F. A."

Virginia State Florists are well organized with Mrs. Harriet Watkins, Gloucester, Va., as president.

Mrs. Watkins and Mr. Perry extend welcome to florists to attend the convention.
