A fine exhibition was held in 

 tion and some very select stock was dis- 

 played. More seedling carnations were 

 expected, but those that were licre wctc 

 fine. 



Certificates were awnid.'il in I li. [■:. 

 G. Hill Co. for a new i.im' irjnir.l W Im,- 

 Lady. This seems liKr ;i i;r(:iil\ nn 

 proved Pres. Carnot, and -\li. Hill su.v> it 

 blooms fiire all winter. The s;ime linn 

 was also awarded a certificate for a vase 

 of carnation Avondale, which is a pinU 

 sport from Armazindy. This firm also 

 showed a light pink of Daybreak sluule 

 named Elma, which, unfortunately, 

 were badly crushed in the box. In stem 

 and size it is grand and we are in need 

 of an improved Daybreak. A vase of 

 Marquis was fair, as also was a vase of 

 roses, Liberty and Sunrise. 



Stuart & Haugh of Anderson showed a 

 vase of carnation Avondale. 



W. W. Coles of Kokomo showed vases 

 of carnations America, E. Crocker and 

 Mrs. Bradt. 



Baur & Smith of this city showed 

 vases of fine Jubilee, America and Mrs. 

 F. Joost. 



South Park Floral Co. of New Castle 

 showed a fine vase of Bridesmaid roses. 



Bertermann Bros, filled a table with 

 foliage plants, orchids and other choice 

 flowers and plants. A tall vase filled 

 with poinsettias showed up grand; also 

 a large vase of mixed carnations. Tliis 

 firm also showed a pan of excelsior 

 brand valley which was fine. 



H. W. Rieman also filled a table with 

 plants and flowers, among which were 

 some fine cyclamen and Begonia Gloire 

 de Lorraine plants and some vases of 

 carnation seedlings of his own. 



John Hartje showed a vase of a yel- 

 low chrysanthemum, which is certainly 

 fine for so late. E. G. Hill is to intro- 

 duce it this spriirg. 



The Young & Smith Co. of this city 

 showed some excellent Marie Louise vio- 

 lets. 



At five o'clock the members as a body 

 were shown through the new Columbia 

 Club building, which is said to be the 

 finest of its kind west of the Alleghenies. 

 Very few of us had ever seen anything 

 like it and all envied those who are for- 

 tunate enough to be members of the Co- 

 lumbia Club. 



Mr. Herbert Heller of the South Park 

 Floral Co. invited the society to visit 

 their place on Feb. 15, which invitation 

 was accepted. 



Mr. E. A. Nelson invited the society to 

 hold its February meeting at his place, 

 which also was accepted. 



Visitors from out of town were: E. G. 

 Hill, of Richmond; W. W. Coles, of Ko- 

 komo: H. Heller, of New Castle; J. A. E. 

 Haugh, of Anderson. a. b.
