Mr . Walt Brennan Coors 1800 Clay Street Denver, Colorado

Would you please check for us on some dates for an I evening meeting of a tour of Coors. We would be happy to consider the middle of March , or perhaps i sometime during the three sun®er months for this type meeting. We realize it is difficult for you to pin some time down, but we generally meet the third Thursday of the month .

Our grower group consists of about 160 members, and we would estimate that possibly 150 would attend a tour meeting.

Please keep in touch, Walt: and let us know the possibilities of such a tour.

Thanks for your inquiry about membershi9 in Colorad~ Flower Growers Association. At the present time we have tw~ types of membership: Regular Members (Carnation Growers) who particip te in our total program of advertising, res arch, and traffic . Associate Members - The fee for this type membershio is $35 per year, and t~ese people r ceive the monthly bulletin from CSU which is printed for ¥S by the Department.

We have another typ membership to which our rose growers belong, and these people participate by assessment for research p u rposes only. We would assume that Dr. Ken Goldsberry was referring to this type when he talked to you about membership. As of now, e have no potted and bedding plant members; however, we are in the process of getting these people together to consider a venture in research the same as the rose people are doing.

Could we request that you wait until we determine whether or not there is enough interest in this field for your consideration of membership. We will keep your card on file, and will express your interest when this group gets together to meet.

Thanks again for your interest.

Dear M~ . Kingman : We thank you for your fine letter of September 29th. relative to the plastic fl owers on the grave of President Dwight D. Eisenhower .

We a ~ pre ciate your comments and we a r e extrernefuy proud of this fac ility and you are so right , it does boost the economy of our city. Ho•He ver, there are many problems and the pl a cing of fresh flowers on the grave and keeping them t here would be another , I feel sure . I do not know where the money ~trould come from to pay for them unless some Florist or FlO\ver Growers As s oc ia tion would take it on a s a benevolent project . We have no authority in this connect ion and only \'fork l·ri th the fine people of the Ei senhower Library and Center . They are most cooperative b ut this complex is managed by the General Services Administration. They have a v ery competent Director, Er . John Wic1man and I have f owarded yo ur letter to his office . I know that we have received many compliments on the beautiful flowwr arrangements at the Chapel . It is my understanding that they were paid for and pl a ced there by a very good friend of the President . As you know from your experience '.vith the public, it would be impossi ble to satisfy every b ody who loved and r espected the fine President . Howe ver, we a ll do our best . Thank you again for your nice letter·.

John, I have h d considerable eh~erience with this group ough loc l Ch er and N tional Ch r work. I would li e y th ught n i to you, and you n.ay pur ue i h wever you is . I link i is true th t N IB did at on time attempt to fill a vo'd in the we k a i nal Charrber 1 gislhtive program. 'hey attempc d to do a job t at the u. s. Cha. r was not doin - -and for that matter, other tr de a sociati ns. My exp rience in contacting legislators has been th t tley are not very much intere ted in "canned" postc rd referral nswers.

I think, before y u would take under dv iserr.ent the possibility of using one of the e people for a national meeting, that you sh uld investigate thorough.y the operation and their af ect on 1 gislator's opinions. Perhap someti , in the pa t th y did so;. good by awakening tr e associati ns and Ch mers f Comrn rce into doing something within their own gr>ups. It is my guess that probably your hiring Doug Gordon w s step in this direction, and probably you were :illing a request by SAF members. Mr. John Walker Page 2 October 21, 1970

I know we look to you to handle our problems in most legislative areas because we cannot ~ffectively do it ourselves. I do object, however, to someone coming in from an organization like this and soliciting funds from my members, particularly when I have been told that their campaign is ineffective. Please use this information as you wish as it i just my opinion. But, from my experience, I would not hesiaate to offer advice to you to move slowly in ever requesting them ~o appear on a program, as this is their no.

Enough on th subject. We will write a etter with a copy to you to all our congre sional del-gati n regarding the shortage of industrial .

Dear Mr. Malverns

Yesterday I talked to Mr. David E. Bartley regarding speaking at yow: Growe.rs Short course nd Growel!s School, November 4.

As you know, Mr. Lee Kintzele is nabl.e to keep the engagement made some months ago because of health reasons and suggested I "fill in" for him. I told M%. Hartley I would be pleased to do it providing your group would pay air fare. This ounts to $120, and he stated that would be agreeab~e. My t lk will generally cover the arketing situation in Colorado, our association, and he requested speci­ fically some information OJ?. .. _our wholesale house opera­ tions, Denve.r tfholesale Florists to b! exact. I will rtive on TWA Flight No. 498 at 10:40 A.M. at the St. Louis irport and leave on light No. 463 at ScOO P.M. that same day because of commitments here. I would appreciate having someone meet me at the air­ port wearing a carnation· in their lapel, and in this way I could identify them.

If these arrangements are okay with you, it is all set, and if they a~e not, please call me sometime next week. I look forward to eeting you and the growers in that area. Sincerely,

Mr. David B. Hartley Extension Floriculturist of Missouri 1-43 Agriculture Building Columbia, Missouri 65201 Dear Mr. Hartley:

Excuse the delay in responding to your letter of October 1 and my failure to answer your letter of July 9 about the Greater St. Louis Plower Growers Association Annual Short Course and Growers School, November 4 and S, 1970. In recent months I have had "health problems," and it is now apparent that I will not be able to keep my commitment as a guest speaker on your Growers Program. I returned only yesterday from a trip east where I had another attack of pulmonary edema and my doctor has forbidden travel or any unusual activity for a now undetermined period of time.

I'm sure I can find an adequate speaker to "fill in" however. I will phone Mr. Dick Kingman, Executive Director of the Colorado Flower Growers Association early next week and ask him to handle the speaking assignment. Mr. Kingman's mother died this week, and he is away from the office attending her funeral and spending some time with his relatives in another state. As you will note, Mr. Kingman is receiving an informational copy of this letter, and I'm sure he will phone you sometime Monday, October 19, or at least early that week.

I am sorry to renege on my original commdtment to have a part in your program but circumstances have prevented it.

Please express my disappointment to the members of your growers organization and give my best regards to Mr. Vernon Rowe. Sincerely,

We have known for some time that you are an excellent supporter of Colorado Carnations, and we would like to suggest to y:>u that we could p:>ssibly furnish you with cuts or artwork :>£ a carnation which would give you excellent reproduction. If we can be of any help to you along this line, please don't hesitate to call on us.

Thank you for the lovely services you arranged for our Mother. I was pleased that Ruth knew someone, as it made it much easier for all of us.

I did not intend to sound commercial hen you approached us with the question, "Do you have a favorite charity?" However, I do have some strong feelings on this subject as you may have noted. To me, an expression of syrnp thy for a lov d one is something more than a possible tax deduction to your favorite charity.

I am taki g the liberty of sending you a packet of information on this subject. Most of the material is from our national association, the Society of American Florists. I do think it is worth reading; and if you have the time, I think you too will find it interesting.

Thank you again for the many kind courtesies you extended to our family. You have a very beautiful location and facility.

Roses were in lighter volume. Long and extra long lengths were in limited supply and prices were higher. At week's end Sweetheart Roses were in lighter supply and prices were generally higher. There appeared to be an under­ lying stability in the price level of Fancy grade Carnations and prices were slightly higher. Standard and Short grades, however, were moving very slowly and prices were barely holding steady. Demand for very large and large size standard Chrysanthemums exceeded the supply and prices were holding firm. The movement of Stock has increased following cooler and more favorable shipping weather; prices were slightly higher. t-he-- San Diego County area .£ancy Gla..Gioli--demalld .exceeded supply and p,v.ices were_ highe.I'. In the Oxnard area_ Pompon demand also exceeded supply and prices were higher. The first light rains of the fall season occurred during the week. Amounts were rather small and were mostly in the Central Coast area. Very little fell in the Oxnard area. None was reported in the San Diego County area. In the Central Coast area, Roses were unchanged to 2¢ higher at mostly 12-14¢ per bloom for 20-24 inch lengths. Sweethearts were 1-2¢ higher at 6-7¢ for 12 inch minimum. Fancy Carnations were unchanged to 1¢ higher at mostJy 7-8¢ per bloom. Miniatures were unchanged to 25¢ l ower at mostly $1.00 per bunch. Large standard Chrysanthe­ mums were unchanged to 2¢ higher at 20-22¢ per bloom. Garnet King stayed the same at 12-14¢ and Peter John was unchanged to 1¢ higher at mostly 12-14¢ per bloom China type were unchanged to 2¢ higher at mostly 12¢ per bloom. Spiders and Pompons remained the same at $1.60-1.75 per dozen and mostly 75-85¢ per bunch, respectively. Regermina Heather ended the week 5¢ higher at mostly 80-90¢ per bunch. · In the San Diego County area, Fancy Carnations stayed the same at 7¢ per bloom. Fancy Gladioli were 10¢ higher at $1.35-1.50 per dozen. In the Oxnard area, Pompons were unchanged to 5¢ higher at mostly 80¢ per bunch. Stock was unchanged to 5¢ higher at mostly 55¢ per dozen. Trade reports indicates that Tea and Sweetheart Roses will be in fair supply. Some shippers ·will have difficulw getting an adequate supply to meet the probable demand. Fancy grade Carnations will be in fair production while standard and Short grades as well as Miniatures will be in moderate production. Very large size standard Chrysanthemums will continue in fair supply but probably not adequate for the expected demand. Also, white Chrysanthemums will be in short supply because of the added demand expected for All Saints Day. Pompons and Spiders will be in moderate supply, though indoor grown Pompons in the Oxnard area will probably not be suffi­ cient to meet the damand. Production of Gladioli in the San Diego County area is fair but Fancy grade supply will likely fall short of the expected demand . The recent rain and cooler weather has improved the quality of Regermina Heather. There is a fair to moderate production of good quality Bird-of-Paradise from the San Diego area at this time. California Cymbidium Orchids are in very limited production and primarily green in color at this time. It will be approximately six t o eight weeks before any substantial supply is available. Florida Producing Areas Tradi~g has improved for Gladioli. The limited supply of Pompons was being well received in the Northern markets. Fern were fair and Hardy Greens were moderate. Gladioli shippers attributed improved marketing conditions to curtailed supplies from the competing areas of New J~rsey and Il~~ia-and t he bette~ seasonal dema~~s~lly b~~~th eooler f~l temperatures. Although the quality continues variable, there is an increasing amount of the runnine; to tl1e better grades. North Florida and South Alabama points are the principal sources for Gladioli, however, the Cent ral and South Florida harvest has started. With the increase of supplies from the new areas next week indications are that truckers will begin to run more scheduled routes throughout the East, Midwest and South which will further help i¥ ~5~~~ ~O~~~~: to the crop . Prices for Fancy are mostly $1.10-1.15 per dozen bunch and Special Pompon production continues from the black cloth cultural method which now is at its peak. Pompons from natural daylight should start around November 1, with most producers in by November 7-10, quality appears to be exceptionally goo d. Shipments should climb sharply seasonally after November 10. Present harvest is primarily from Stuart, Delray and Ruskin. The demand for Fern was only fair. Indications are the movement , to the market is slightly under that of a year ago. Sales of Hardy Greens were moderate. Leatherleaf: Demand Fair. Market Steady. Per bunch approximately 25 sprays 50-62-t¢, occasionally includtng special packs 70-75¢, few lower. Plumosus: Demand Fair. Market Steady. Per bunch approximately 50 sprays 50-65¢, few including special packs 67-70¢, few lower Sprengeri: Demand Fair. Market Steady. Per bunch approximately 25 sprays 45-62-t¢, mostly 45-55¢. Pittosporum: Demand Moderate. Market Steady. lt to 1-t pound bunch 85¢-1.00. Podocarpus: Demand Moderate. Market Steady. Per pound, bunched 40-60¢, mostly 50¢. San Francisco Wholesale Market Offerings of cut flowers and other ornamental crops were in generally fair to moderate volume. Trading was fair on Friday but slow to fair the first part of the week. Because of the recent rain and the time of year, field grown flowers are in lighter supply and the quality of some was temporarily affected. The supply of Roses was considerably lighter and prices increased substantially from the previous week . Other flowers higher in price were Spider Chrysanthemums and Regermina Heather while Ageratum was lower. Most other cut flowers remained generally unchanged from the previous week. There is a good supply of Oak Leaf and Cut Camellia foliage available Local Wedgewood Iris is in light supply and there is a very limited amount of Melanthera Heather also availabie. Local Cymbidium Orchids are in very limited supply. · Boston Wholesale Market Trading ranged from moderate to fairly active but mostly on the moderate side. Production of Carnations did not slo~ down a~ expected with the resulting s~pply exceeding the demand. Carnation su~plies next week are expected to continue heavy. Roses and Chrysanthemums are in moderate supply and ample Tor the demand. Chicago Wholesale Market Trading was moderate . Orderly movement was reported for such items as long stem Roses, Yellow Roses of all lengths, White Gladioli1 Pompons~ Standard Chrysanthemums, and good quality Carnati ons ~ Su~plies of most flowers were more than adequate IOr the demand. Southern Gladi~li comprised the majority or the of erings on the market and quality was much improved. Cooler weather caused a slowdown in outdoor grown flowers. Heather from California increased in volume on the market . Dallas -Fort Wocth.J:l.bolesale Market Trading improved becoming fair to good especially by weekend. Most varieties of flowers are in good supply, except some wholesalers reported di · t in getting good qualit Carnations and Chrysanthemums. First arrlvals of California Melanther Heather an were repor e • 1 Boston Wholesale Market (weyk Ending October 17) Trading was generally moderate through the week with Friday s actibity only fair. Supplies of most cut flowers exceeded the demand. With the warm weather during the week, cuttings were heavy. Cooler weather is predicted and it is expected to slowdown production. Growers are pinching back Roses, Carnations , and some Chrysanthe­ mums in preparation for the coming holidays . Next week's trading is expected to improve.

STUDY COMMITTEE RECOMMENDS DIVISIONS Establishment of separate divisions for growers, who 1 e sa 1 e r s, and retailers -- w1thm framework of SAF -- received nnanimous endorsement of SAF Organizational Review Committee members, meeting at SAF head­ quarters Oct. 20-21. Representatives of grower, retailer, wholesaler­ allied segments met in separate task-farce sessions; then came together in amazing show of unanimity of opinion in recommending structural changes for Society. Complete report of committee's deliberations will be placed by Chair­ man Everett Conklin before SAF Board of Directors for action at their Nov. 9-10 meeting. Most significant recommendations include: (1) establishment of 3 SAF divisions, with SAF Board approving programs/policy and resolving any conflicts; (2) nominationandelectionofeachdivision's governing board-­ and of SAF Board members representing that segment -- by members of that division; (3) financing of divisions' programs from SAF dues, with monies allocated to each division by SAF Board; (4) for the present, maintenance of SAF dues at current level, with efforts to increase income for enriched pro­ gram centered on membership enlistment by each division; (5) hiring of man­ ager for each division when funds permit; (6) consideration of regionalization only after Society is reorganized and well on its way toward accomplishing objectives desired by each segment; (7) preliminary list of program priorities for each division, with final programming determined by each division's govern'ing board.

Sub­ mitted by William Carpenter/David Dilley, MSU, the project has potential for breakthrough in extending plant life which could vastly improve marketing and dis t rib uti on. Research will focus on prohibiting development of physiologically active concentrations of ethylene in and around plants; will seek improved procedures for plant handling, transportation and storage. Second SAFE grant ($2000) awarded New York State College of Agri­ culture, Cornell Universi , for e qui pro en t to monitor ph sical factors in t e co e,e s green ouses in or er to conduct study of new methods or con­ trollingforiculturalpests. Study, to be conducted byM.J. Tauber and Robert Helgesen, has over a 11 objective of developing non-chemical control methods for pests on florist crops. This research has particular relevance today becuase use of chemical has resulted in major agricultural, public health, pollution and political problems. Only earnings from SAFE's primary fund a r e ·earmarked for education and research grants.

We are sorry we d~ not have any information available in printed form on the mechanization of the greenhouse industry. There has been several meetings in the past 18 months concerning new machines and new methods; however , we know of nothing that is available for distribution.

The California growers seem to be the ones who are leading the country in mechanization of grading , bunching, packing, etc.

We received today your packet and order blank forms for ordering the 1 71 - 1 72 monthly folders. Of course , we do not use these directly, but we do enjoy getting them to know what you are doing. The presentation for the folders is very good; and we always, of course, appreciate the use of carnations in the arrangements and pictures.

Herb, I understand you d::) not use an agency ..•but farm out a lot of your photos, art, product&on, etc., to individual contractors. I f this is true, I would like to hear your ·thoughts on the subj ct as compared to using an agency.

As you know, we have used an agency for a good many years; and as our concept changes in what we do in the way of supplementing the marketing agency, we feel there may be a point of time in the future when we might be interested in utilizing this method . If you have any comments along this line, I would appreciate very much hearing from you.

May D&F is going to purchase a red carnation for each employee for the last few days before Christmas. We took care of the stores in this area, and we would like you to handle the store at the Antler's Plaza.

They need 160 red carnations delivered on Demember 21. The price here was 12¢ per bloom for a carnation they could use to pin on and wear during store hours . If this price presents a problem to you, let us know and I guess we would be obligated to make up the difference.

Dear Friends:

During 1970, I began showing travel and educational films to our men here. This has been a profitable and enjoyable experience for inmates who have positive attitudes toward self-improvement and learning.

Some sponsors have graciously provided me with a discontinued film toward the establishment of a ood fil library in my office.

If you are able and willing to assist us in this project with films that might be withdrawn from distribution or such that you think appropriate for the library, I would appreciate hearin~ from you at your convenience.

Thank you and best wishes.
