AMERICAN CARNATION SOQETY. 



It will be remembered that at the In- 

 dianapolis convention of the American 

 Carnation Society a committee was ap- 

 pointed to convey to President Berter- 

 mann the great regret of the members 

 at his enforced absence from the meet- 

 ing owing to ill health. The committee, 

 consisting of Messrs. Lewis Ullrich and 

 James Hartshorne, duly forwarded a let- 

 ter expressing the sentiment shown by 

 the members and leceived the following 

 acknowledgment : 



flentlenipii: Your very kind anH eucouraging 

 letter leceived a few days ago, being delayed 

 iis jou see by being sent to a wrong town 

 in this State. I have been in Paeifie Grove, 

 ('al.. up to within two weeks; am now here for 

 a month or so. 



I certainly thank the Society very jnueh 

 for their remembrance and vour Committee in 

 special for their kind sentiment. I have surely 

 missed the treat of my life in not being pres- 

 ent but oi ctiurse the state of my health would 

 not permit me to stay during the cold weather. 

 I am recuperating very slowly, don't hope to be 

 much improved; however, n long stay mjiy do 

 wonders. 



Again thanking you, gentlemen, I remain 

 Respectfully and sincerely. 

 . Wm. G. Bertermaun.

PLANTS FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN. 



The National Plant, Fruit and Flower 

 Guild is undertaking to encourage the 

 school cliildren of New York City to 

 cultivate ornamental plants, and hopes to

 of the ten thousand pupils of the elev- 

 enth school district. Mrs. Henry Par- 

 sons is chairman of the potted plant 

 committee of the guild and is also a 

 member of the local school board. She 

 hopes that florists will contribute their 

 surplus plants to the guild for the work 

 being carried on.

 cither with or without the pots, may send 

 a postal card to the National Plant, Fruit 

 and Flower Guild, No. 70 Fifth avenue,

 their boxes which will entitle them to 

 forward tlieir gifts free through the ex- 

 press companies. Directions will also be 

 sent as to the manner of packing the 

 plants, etc. The pots sent should be four 

 inches in size, and should be forwarded 

 to the West Side Settlement, No. 460
