The Florists' Club held a well attend- 

 ed meeting June 2, it being the last in- 

 door meeting until fall. There were a 

 number of invited guests present, and a 

 most enjoyable evening was spent. After 

 business a social session followed. Re- 

 freshments were served and R. S. Mc- 

 Gee and R. Simonds gave a number of 

 comic recitations which were much en- 

 joyed. It was voted to suspend regular 

 meetings for the next three months and 

 during this time meetings will be held 

 at the call of the president. Arrange- 

 ments are under way whereby a joint 

 outing of the Hartford Florists' Club. 

 the New Haven Horticultural S...-i.-i \ . 

 the New London Florists' Club and the 

 Bridgeport Florists' Club will be held in 

 the near future. J. F. Huss made an 

 exhibit of flowers of a large number of 

 perennials and gave a very interesting 

 talk on them. Robert Karlstrom, gar- 

 dener at Elizabeth Park, brought in 

 ten varieties of rhododendrons, also four- 

 teen varieties of azaleas and a very 

 striking and beautiful poppy. Certifi- 

 cates of merit were awarded to Eliza- 

 beth Park nurseries and to Mr. Huss 

 for their exhibits. The judges i . . . i ],,. 

 evening were G. A. Parker. W. W. Hunt 

 and H. J. Koehler. 



H. J. Koehler, forester at Keney Park, 

 and one of the charter members of the 

 club, is soon to leave the city, and this 

 announcement was listened to with 

 much regret. Resolutions were unani- 

 mously voted making him an honorary 

 member of the club.

Business continues fairly brisk, with 

 commencements and weddings callins for 

 considerable stock, but all" prices have 

 dropped since last report. The best tea 

 roses can be had for 3 cents, and carna- 

 tions for 1 cent. The qualities hold up 

 veu tvell for so late in the season. Beau- 

 ties are rather plentiful and sell at from 

 $1 to $2 a doze.n. 



There was a large attendance at our 

 monthly club meeting on June 3. Peter 

 Bissett exhibited some very fine hybrid 

 roses. At our next meeting Mr. Bissett 

 will present a paper entitled •'The Host 

 Profitable Outdoor Flowers."
