Club Meeting. 



The Indianapolis Florists' Club held 

 its first and last meeting of the year 

 on Tuesday. January 3. This will be 

 a surprise to a great many readers, but 

 I will explain. At the meeting it was 

 proposed to abandon the club and con- 

 solidate with the State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation. This motion was laid over 

 till next meeting, but before that time 

 the State Florists' Association met on 

 January 9 and invited the local club 

 to consolidate with them. This invi- 

 tation was extended at about 4:30. 

 The local club sent out a huri-led call 

 for a special meeting at 7 that even- 

 ing, and the Indianapolis Florists' 

 Club at that meeting drew its last 

 breath and became the State Florists' 

 Association of Indiana. 



But to retui-n to the local club meet- 

 ing. It was also pi-oposed to give 

 shows at each of their meetings and 

 give small premiums on cut floweis 

 and plants. A committee was appoint- 

 ed to make a premium list for next 

 meeting on carnations, as it was de- 

 cided to have a carnation show in Feb- 

 ruary. Thei-e will be premiums given 

 on 1 dozen each white, red. pink and 

 any other color. A certificate of merit 

 will be awarded to any new cut flower 

 or plant. After the regular routine 

 business was over the newly elected 

 officers were installed. After the meet- 



ing they entertained the club at the 

 Gei-mania Cafe with an elegant sup- 

 per, and all had a good, jolly time. 



State Florists' Association Meeting. 



Januai'y 9 the State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation met in the horticultural room 

 in the State House. It was decided 

 by this society to abandon the annual 

 flower shows held here and to give 

 several smaller ones throughout the 

 year. As stated above, this society in- 

 vited the local florists' club to con- 

 solidate with them, and in conse- 

 quence thei'eof a new constitution was 

 necessai'y. A committee was appoint- 

 ed to revise the old one and, if neces- 

 sary, make a new one. 



Following offlcers were elected: 

 President, E. G. Hill, Richmond; fli-st 

 vice-president, J. C. Powers, Indian- 

 apolis; second vice-president, Herbert 

 Heller, New Castle; secretary, R. Mc- 

 Keand. Indianapolis; treasurer. J. T. 

 Huntington. Indianapolis. In connec- 

 tion with the meeting a display of 

 flowers was staged and following 

 awai-ds made: Cei-tificate of merit to 

 Bertermann. Flo. Co. for cyclamen- 

 Henry Rieman for Meteor roses; S. 

 Park Flo. Co., Bride and Maid roses; 

 E. G. Hill & Co.. i-ed carnation, with 

 America; S. Pk. Floi-al Co.. best pink 

 and fancy with Triumph and Helen 

 Keller; 'W. Coles, best white with Eve- 

 lina; E. Hukriede & Son, Marie Louise 

 violets; J. Hartje, Farqnhar; S. Pk. 

 F^lo. Co., Califoi-nia; H. Rieman, hon- 



orable mention for plant of Cypripe- 

 dium insigne; same for vase mixed 

 carnations; same to E. Hukreide for 

 azaleas. 



F. Dciner & Sons Co. had on exhi- 

 bition a vase of their new carnation 

 Cr. H. Crane. This variety attracted a 

 great deal of attention and was much 

 admired by everyone. 



Notes. 



Business here is rather quiet after 

 the holidays, New Year's trade being 

 nothing extra, the supply being great- 

 er than the demand. 



John Rathsam's place on Broadway 

 was damaged by flre on the night of 

 January S to the extent of about $600. 

 His loss included his palms and a good 

 deal of bedding stock. 



Mr. Houston Tall, of the Garfield 

 Pai'k greenhouses, met with a painful 

 accident a week ago. He was taking 

 the night fireman's place and stumbled 

 down by the boiler; in falling he threw 

 out his hand to save himself and fell 

 against the furnace door, bui-ning 

 himself badly. 



Mr. Henry Rothermel, of the Gar- 

 field Park greenhouses, was i-ecently 

 married to Fernie D. Burriss. The' 

 boys all wish him luck. FRED. 



COATESVILLE, PA.— James Brown 

 has secured land upon which he will 

 erect sevei'al greenhouses for carna- 

 tions.
