the New York convention will lie in- 

 structed at the next meeting to vote 

 for Chicago for the next meeting place 

 of the S. A. F. Of course we want Chi- 

 acgo's help for 1903 tiuring the Worlds 

 Fair. 



Our visitor this week was Fred K. 

 Luke, florist at the Ohio State Univer- 

 sity. Mr. Luke called on the trade in 

 company with Prof. Irish, of the Mis- 

 souri Botanical Garden. 



Kuehn and Beneke have arranged to 

 play a series of twenty games for a 

 prize valued at $.5, the match to be 

 rolled according to the rules of the 

 American Bowling Association; the 

 first games to be rolled after July 4. 



F. J. Riese, who was with Vaughan's 

 seed store, Chicago, is now with the 

 Plant Seed Co., of this city. Mr. Riese 

 called on the trade Saturday and made 

 a good impression. Should Mr. Riese 

 decide to remain here he will become 

 a member of our club. 



We read with great pleasure in 

 Brother Scott's notes that young Geo. 

 McCIure has taken a position at the 

 Missouri Botanical Garden. J'rom the 

 description given of this young man by 

 Brother Scott he must be all wool and 

 a yard wide. Young George has not 

 arrived yet, but they expect him this 

 week and then we will go out and 

 form his acquaintance. J. J. B. 



KEEPING CARNATIONS. 



We present in this issue an article 

 on the keeping qualities of carnations, 

 by Walter S. Heffron, Chicago, that we 

 believe is worthy of more than ordi- 

 nary attention. It gives the results of 

 years of experience of a careful ob- 

 server in handling carnations in the 

 wholesale market, and the conclusions 

 of a thoughtful man that are based on 

 long experience are always of the 

 greatest value. 



Certainly it is a very important mat- 

 ter for the grower to have his stock 

 reach the market in such condition as 

 to enable the dealer to get the very 

 best possible returns for him. And if 

 it is of the kind that has to be dis- 

 posed of quickly at any price in order 

 to get anything for it, he could expend 

 his thought and effort to no better 

 purpose than in ascertaining the cause 

 and removing it. 



That such differences exist is beyond 

 question. It has been noted time and 

 again, though it has never before been 

 stated so clearly and distinctly as by 

 Mr. Heffron in his article in this issue. 

 We commend this article to the atten- 

 tion of all growers of carnations, and 

 will be pleased to have the views of 

 any reader on the subject.
