The regular iiioiitlily meeting of llie 

 Kentucky Society of I'lorists was held at 

 Mr. Will. Walker's store on JefFerson 

 street, it lieiiig the last meeting of the 

 year. The election of officers for 189S re- 

 sulted as follows: Henry Lichtefeld, 

 president; Fred. Haupt, vice president; 

 C. H. Kunzman, recording secretary; 

 Joseph Coenen, financial secretary; Her- 

 man Kleinstarink, treasurer; E. G. Reim- 

 crs, trustee for tliree years. Mr. Van 

 I'elt was elected an honorary member. 



This has Iieen a very successful year for 

 tile Kentucky Society of I'lorists, for both 

 our spring and fall shows were a financial 

 .success. The first meeting of 1898 will be 

 held at the establishment of Jos. Coenen, 

 and we are .going to start in with a grand 

 installation of oflicers and supper for both 

 the flori ts and their wives. Kv. 



DOVER, DEL. 



J. C. Baker has lately started in the 

 florist business and has built three houses 

 20x80, with an office in front. The houses 

 are well .stocked, and being on the main 

 street by the P. R. R. station, all looks 

 promising for a successful business.

THE TREE'S REPLY. 



(LYNNETTE I,OI^) 



"Oh. trim little orange tree, 



The nursling of tropic lands." 

 She sighed in her ecstasy 

 While wringing her jeweled hands. 



"Oh, isn't there bloom and bloom. 

 Your bonny boughs may un?>healh. 



One day to dispel my gloom 

 And weave me a bridal wreath?" 



"No. no." lisped the leaves of green, 

 "For alas and alack, ah me. 



1 am, little blue-eyed queen. 

 But a Htty-cent rubber tree."

CRIMSON RAMBLER ROSE 



EXTRA STRONG FIELDGROWN PLANTS FOR EASTER FORCING. 



We offer an extra fine lot of sliong tieldgrown plants of the Crimson Rambler Rose 

 fc)r Kaster forcing. 



We d^'sire to call the attention of the trade to the great value of this rose as a pol 

 plant for Easter sales. It is one of the showiest and most beautiful of all hardy plants, but 

 also makes one of the most beautiful pot plants for florists' sales, and is particularly adapt- 

 ed for forcing for Easter, having proved one of the most valuable novelties grown for this 

 purpose. A Boston grower realized ten dollars each for every plant he had. 



We can supply an extra tine lot of extra tine plants for potting and growing on for this 

 purpose— plants four to Ave feet high, three to four strong canes each— stock in the very 

 bi St. possible shape. These long canes will flower from every joint, and by proper training 

 and winding the plants can be made of immense size, covered with a perfect mass of bloom. 

 We know of no choicer plant for the Easter trade, and florists who do not supply them- 

 selves with a lot of this stock for this purpose i-vill regret it. 



Strong tieldgrown plants, three to four canes each, four to five feet long, $3.00 per 

 doz ; ^-iOJHl per hundred. 



HYBRID PERPETUAL ROSES. 



We also otter an unusually fine stock of the very choicest and most desirable varieties 

 of Hybrid Perpetual Roses for growing for pot plants for florists" use for Easter and 

 spring salts or fnr uutdmir blooming. Our stock is unusually strong, and cannot fail to
