Floricultural Society's Meeting. 



At the regular iiioullily iiiuttiiig of the 

 Is'ew Jersey Floiicult\iral Society, held 

 ■on March 6, Jlr. ,1. C. Williauis, of Mont- 

 ■clair, addressed the society upon "Prun- 

 ing," talking the grape as an example 

 and confining himself to the Kneift'er sys- 

 tem upon that. In the discussion which 

 followed other fruits were touched upon 

 and great warmth was shown in the con- 

 demnation of the prevailing manner of 

 shearing shr\ibs witliout regard to wheth- 

 er the bloom was produced upon new 

 wood or that of last season's growth, 

 Mr. Williams giving an instance within 

 his knowledge where a Japan weeping 

 cherry had been cut or shorn back upon 

 the model of a broom. Forest trees were 

 also discussed and the merits of fall or 

 sprin-g pruning when first set out, upon 

 all. Mr. Williams called upon various 

 members by name to respond to topics 

 outside the field of the nurserymen, to 

 which he confined himself, and George 

 Smith and A. D. Rose were among those 

 who contributed from their valuable ex- 

 perience. 



In tile business meeting preceding the 

 discussion it was determined to repeat 

 the feature of the school children's work 

 at the forthcoming fall exhibition, and 

 provision was made to supply plants in 

 May and stage them appropriately in 

 November at the society's competitive 

 exhibition. 



Five new volumes added to library, 

 and one new member elected. J. li. D. 



helped out during the cold snap. The 

 boilers were insured in the Fidelity and 

 Casualty Co., of New York, and ^Ir. 

 Kuhl says the company was very prompt 

 in sending inspectors and adjusters, and 

 that as soon as claim was made out in 

 full and the papers could reach their of- 

 fice, return mail brought him a cheek to 

 cover the loss. He says he cannot afford 

 to run his steam plant without insur- 

 ance of this kind. 



Montreal, Can. — At the recent carna- 

 tion show many fine blooms of standard 

 sorts were shown, but the only novelties 

 displayed were Roosevelt, from C. W. 

 Ward; Queen Louise, from J. L. Dillon, 

 and several firre new sorts from the Chi- 

 cago Carnation Company. The latter in- 

 cluded a magnificent red that was not 

 labelled. It and Roosevelt and Queen 

 Louise were awarded certificates of merit. 



Springfield, 0. — A. R. A'drich, the 

 florist, was thrown from his wagon 

 March 2 and had his head badly cut as 

 the result of the tumble. He was able 

 to go home on a car.
