The Convention. 



The eoiiventiou is over and all unite 

 1 the verilict, that we had a glorious

 The trade exhibit was highly educa- 

 tional and reflects great credit on those 

 who contributed thit feature of the con- 

 vention. 



Everything was satisfactory but Ashe-

 ture and not be caught napping again. 



The resolution offered by J. C. Eenni- 

 son. allowing no one but a florist to rec- 

 ommend the selection of the next meet- 

 ing place was highly proper and to be 

 commended. The S."A. F. O. H. should 

 go one step further and have the place 

 of the next meeting voted on at the 

 same session at which the officers are 

 elected. 



We 2racefullv submit the next meeting 

 place to Asheville. the "City of the 

 Skies," We will be there and may it 

 not be a grateful change from a bustling 

 metropolitan city to the superb grandeur 

 of the justly famed beautiful city? 



Trade Conditions. 



Trade is very quiet. The summer lull 

 is on at last. Roses, while not plentiful, 

 are equal to the slight demand and are 

 steadily growing better in quality. There 

 are some pretty good Beauties being cut 

 with fairly good stems; just at present 

 they are feeling the effects of a dull 

 day. Carnations are scarce. 



Crabb & Hunter have four carnation 

 bouses planted and will have their large 

 Irene house planted this week. 



All field grown stock in this vicinity is 

 looking fine. G. F. C. 



BETTER RETURNS. 



We will candidly say we have had 

 better returns from advs. in the Review 

 than in any other publication. — Nanz & 

 Neuner, Louisville, Ky. 



Elwood, Ind. — William H. Woerner is 

 building a new rose house 18x113 feet, 

 the walls being erected of tile building 

 blocks. Mr. Woerner used these blocks 

 in the walls of a house erected last year 

 and finds they make an excellent green- 

 house wall. They are hollow and the 

 dead air space is a great help in keeping 

 out the cold.
