ing duly attended to, the machinery of 

 oratory and music was started by Pres- 

 ident Duff, who in a few happy words 

 welcomed the guests and hoped they 

 would enjoy themselves. Messrs. Tay- 

 lor and Bennett rendered solos on the 

 cornet and violin, and then came the 

 toasts. Dr. Ward, for the "State Hor- 

 ticulturists"; W. J. Stewart, "The So- 

 ciety of American Florists"; William 

 Duckham, "The Private Gardener"; 

 J. N. May, "The Commercial Flor- 

 ists"; J. B. Davis, "The Ladies"; G. 

 Bird, "Old Time Florists"; J. W. With- 

 ers, "The Horticultural Press'; Dr. 

 Kitchen, "Horticulture," etc., etc. 

 Geo. Smith sang "The Tinker's Wed- 

 ding" as only George can, and S. But- 

 terfield, who is becoming quite a 

 singer, sang "She Wore a Wreath of 

 Roses." 



It was altogether a most enjoyable 

 affair, a reunion of old-timers; here 

 and there were groups of men who had 

 endured many hardships and enjoyed 

 the sunrays of prosperity together in 

 this and other countries; some who 

 had wandered from other professions 

 to, in many cases, the Hy-Brasilic one 

 of floriculture, and the old and the 

 young student who are forever learn- 

 ing from each other. Yes, it was a 

 party where one could hear and learn 

 much, whether from jovial John 

 Hayes or Joseph Cypripedium Manda, 

 Dan McRorie, or the doctors and pro- 

 fessors that abounded there; they were 

 all worth catching. 



The newspaper men had to leave on 

 the last train, and consequently lost 

 much of the fun, but they carried with 

 them a pleasant memory. There was 

 a full muster of the press there: S. 

 Butterfleld, of the Florists' Exchange; 

 W. J. Stewart, American Florist; J. 

 I. Donlan, Florists' Review; and J. W. 

 Withers, American Gardening. They, 

 with Commissioner Julius Lang, went 

 up fromi New York on invitation of the 

 society. D. 



AMITE, LA.— Chas. Corthell, who 

 was ajrested in Hammond on a charge 

 of arson and who subsequently cut his 

 throat with suicidal intent, claims to 

 be a ilorist and that ho came from Illi- 

 nois about six years ago. He gives 

 his age as 46 years, and vigorously de- 

 nies the charge against him.

GREEN-HOUSE CONSTRUCTION. 



This has been a specialty with us for many years and to us is 

 due the credit for many of tiie great improvements that have been 

 made in the construction of wooden green-houses. To those that 

 buy our 



Clear Cypress Building Material 



we furnish, free of cost, complete detail drawings from which any 

 intelligent workman can put up the material correctly. We have 

 plenty of time to write letters ABOUT OUR BUSINESS, and we will 

 be glad to hear from those contemplating building.
