Friday morning President Robert

late 



. Address. 



The wonderful progress made 



nf 



years, the rapid strides to popular favor 

 made by the carnation, at whose shrine 

 we are worshiping today, is not a craze, 

 for as long as flowers exist, this beauti- 

 ful creation of the o'.d-fashiorted pink 

 will have its place in the heart of every 

 flower lover, and deservedly so. 



That state of perfection at which it 



has already :iiii\.il -I M make every 



grower, evn \ ininiii n of a new va- 

 riety feel a | .i i Lmil.'. personal pride, 

 for not only lia- hi, umk been well 

 done, but it is still growing, and there 

 is yet a wide field in which to work. 



When W'e stop to think of the possi- 

 bilities wrapped up in this symphony 

 of loveliness, it is with a keen delight 

 and all-absorbing interest that we walk 

 into the seedling house in the morning 

 and note the .l.\rlii| 

 ing flower, \\li..-.. I.il

 From a grower's standpoint it is a 

 breadwinner when properly liandled. 

 Can you mention a flower that will give 

 as much pleasure to your customer, that 

 will keep the same length of time in 

 water w-hen cut, that has the diversity 

 of color, or can fill a room with such a 

 pleasing spicy odor, that insidious per- 

 fume known to the carnation alone — 

 can you name a flower its equal at the 

 same price?
