MADISON, N. J. 



Ciub Notes, 



; The announcement that Mr. C. But- 

 terbach. of Oceanic, N. J., was to talk 

 on carnations at the March meeting of 

 Morris County Gardeners and Florists 

 was sufficient to draw a large attend- 

 ance, whilst the exhibitions of carna- 

 tions in addition combined to make 

 the occasion a real carnation night 

 and one of practical benefit to all 

 growers. 



President Duckham was in the chair 

 and after preliminary business, includ- 

 ing four nominations for membership, 

 he introduced the essayist of the 

 evening. 



Mr. Butterbach had prepared a most 

 thorough paper, giving terse but prac- 

 tical instruction in the many small, 

 but as he said most important details 

 that carefully observed went to make 

 up the sum total of success. It is 

 needless to enlarge upon things that 

 are matters of common knowledge, 

 but in regard to stock propagating 

 the lecturer strongly insisted upon the 

 desirability of having it specially 

 grown for the purpose as being in all 

 respects better than to have to take 

 such cuttings as one could get from 

 plants required to produce all flowers 

 possible. He had also made a care- 

 ful trial of inside versus outside 

 grown plants, and pronounced strong- 

 ly in favor of the former, substantiat- 

 ing his arguments with some carefully 

 tabulated results of his trial. 



An interesting discussion ensued in 

 Which President Duckham bore out 

 the lecturer's remarks as to inside 

 grown stock. He had grown all his 

 plants inside and should continue that 

 culture by reason of the all round su- 

 periority of the flowers. 



By general consent the vase of car- 

 nation The Marquis, sent by Mr. L. E. 

 Marquisee, Syracuse, N. Y., was con- 

 sidered the finest carnatiou exhibit 

 ever brought before the society and 

 richly merited the certificate awarded. 



In the monthly competitions Mr. W. 

 Duckham and Mr. J. Jones were b-^'ti 

 represented by an exhibit of six vari- 

 eties, the former scoring 14 points and 

 the latter 12 points. Mr. Jones was 

 also very highly commended tor a su- 

 perb exhibit of fine violets in three 

 varieties, Farquhar, Marie Louise and 

 California. A. H. 



SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.— The 

 floral establishment of F. W. Wieder- 

 mann on Atlantic avenue was recently 

 destroyed by fire. His loss is estimat- 

 ed at $10,000 with no insurance.
