AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



We- liavt rcccivcil a copy of tlie \no- 

 uramine and schedule of premiuius for 

 the seventh atimial meeting of the .\meri- 

 can Carnation Society, to be hehl in 

 Chicago, Febrnary 17th and iSth. 



A very liberal amount of money is of- 

 fered in premiums for carnations shown 

 at the exhibition to be held ill connection 

 with the annual convention, in addition 

 to the usual certificates for new varieties 

 and there is, also, a liberal li.st of special 

 premiums, which are well worth sharp 

 competition. Every grower of carnations 

 should be represented in the exhibition at 

 Chicago, Febrnary 17th and iMh. 



Copies of the preiniuin list may be had 

 on application to the secretarv of the 

 Carnation Society, Mr. .\ll)erl M. Herr, 

 Lancaster, Pa. 



WASHINGTON. 



One of the most important social events 

 of the season was the debut of the dau>;h- 

 ter of the Leiter family, at which were 

 seen many beautiful floral conceits. 



A very handsome group of Farleyense 

 ferns and fine specimen cyclamen, under 

 the full-size oil painting of Hon. Mr, 

 Curzon, were very effective, the frame 

 being handsomely festooned with aspara- 

 gus and sprays of orchids in varietv. A 

 fine group of palms fiUetl in with speci- 

 men poinsettias engaged the attention of 

 all who entered the front door, giving it 

 reallv the appearance of a Christmas fes- 

 tivity. 



The bouquet carried by the young lady 

 was a thing of beauty, being composed 

 of about sixty cattleya flowers, twentv- 

 five sprays of Dendrobium Phalienopsis, 

 twelve Dendrobium formosum gigan- 

 teum. and six fine sprays of Vanda c;t- 

 rulea, mostly grown by Messrs. Field 

 Bros., of our city. The numerous rib- 

 bons pendant from the bouquet were 

 adorned with Dendrobium PhaUenopsis, 

 small cattleya blooms and Litlia anceps, 

 etc. 



The bouquet was the work of Mr. J. R, 

 Freeman, and a handsome basket, illus- 

 tration and description of which are pre- 

 sented elsewhere in this issue, was the 

 handiwork of A. Gude & Bro. and Mr. J. 

 H. Troy, of New York. \V. H. K. 



Simplicity in Greenliouse Construction. 



During our long experience we have not only made many improve- 

 ments in greenhouses, but we have so simpUfied the construction that 

 building a greenhouse is no longer a matter so full of complications as 

 to tax the patience and the ingenuity of even the most intelligent 

 mechanic. Our 



Clear Cypress Building Material 



is worked out in the best manner ready to be put up, and we furnish our 

 customers such complete detail drawings that any workman of only ordi- 

 nary capabilities can put it up correctly.
