Club Meeting. 



'l"he Florists' Association held thi^ 

 icgiilar monthlj' mpeting at Garflelil 

 I'aik Tuesday evening, May 1. ThOBi' 

 who came early were shown through 

 the greenhouses hy Mr. MeKeand and 

 thoy all spoke very highly of the ex- 

 cellent condition of the i)lants. Mi. 

 LangstalT jircsided at the meeting. Mr. 

 O'l^flum gave us a lecture on tempera- 

 ture that was very humorous and much 

 enjoyed by all. The question, "Is 

 Greenhouse Stock Taxable?" was 

 brought up and quite a discussion fol- 

 lowed. Would like to have the editor 

 and the readers of the Review give us 

 their opinions. 



Florists here will try to buy their 

 coril for the coming winter as soon as 

 possible, tearing a rise in prices. Some 

 of the memliers are clubbing together 

 to buy their supply from the lowest 

 bidder. Messrs. Junge. Hartje and 

 Heidenreich were appointed a com- 

 mittee to see different coal agents and 

 get bids. Next meeting will l)e held at 

 Garfield Park, and there will lie a dis- 

 cussion on rose soil by our rose grow- 

 ei's. 



Notes. 



The bedding season is now here, and 

 as it advances the florists have their 

 hands full. A few of the market flor- 

 ists made an agreement to raise the 

 price on bedding stuff, but it's the same 

 old story. Some of them will agree to 

 anything and then turn round and cut 

 prices. liow do they ever expect to get 

 decent prices for their stuff under such 

 conditions? 



Mr. Braendlein is cutting some very 

 fine sweet peas that are much ad- 

 mired. 



Good roses are scarce, while carna- 

 tions are plentiful and sell cheap. 



Mr. Rieman had a vase of a white 

 carnation seedling on exhibition at the 

 last meeting which, with a little better 

 stem, would be hard to beat. Baur & 

 Smith exhibited some carnation sports 

 that were very good. Both received 

 honorable mention. FRED. 



DENVER, COLO. 



The following scores were made l)y 

 penver bowlers Tuesday May 1. 



Mr. Applegate rolled with the club. 

 He is not a "new bowler," though, as 

 he did fairly well for a starter:

RICH.MOND. IND.— E. T. Grave is 

 building two new houses, each 26x200, 

 both for carnations. E. G. Hill is on 

 the way to Europe on a business trip. 



OTTAWA, ONT.— The district swept 

 by the big Are is a sad sight, but am 

 glad to say there were no florists in the 

 part of the city that was burned.
