The Weekly Florists' Review* 



MARCH 17, 189S. 



MADISON, N. J. 



Morris Co. Florists and Gardeners 

 held the usual monthly meeting on 

 "Wednesday last, President Dickham in 

 the chair. It was our first visit since 

 the new president's installation and he 

 evidently means business, as evinced 

 by that calm, persuasive, but all the 

 same forceful ruling by which he 

 brought discursive talkers back to the 

 point of the motion. Co-operative pur- 

 chasing of supplies was fully discussed 

 and matters advanced in that direction 

 by the appointing of a sub-committee 

 to ascertain the lines of goods re- 

 quired, the number of members who 

 favored the scheme and an approxi- 

 mate estimate of quantities. 



Monthly exhibits at the meetings 

 were talked about and it was decided 

 to make them a feature, but instead of 

 judging all exhibits on one scale of 

 points, an idea suggested by Mr. J. 

 Robertson found most favor, namely 

 ,to hav? rose, carnation, herbaceous 

 and wild flower classes, also for fruits 

 and vegetables, the members to select 

 any class they could compete in, and 

 as far as competition was concerned 

 to confine their efforts to the class en- 

 tered for the entire season. Awards 

 to be made to the most successful in 

 the respective classes, at the end of the 

 year. H. 



A HANDSOME CATALOGUE. 



"Choice selections in seeds and 

 plants," is the title of the 1S98 cata- 

 logue of P, R. Pierson Co., Tarrytown- 

 on-Hudson, N. Y., of which we have 

 received a copy. The lists of green- 

 house and hardy ornamental plants 

 bulbs, seeds, tools, etc., are very full 

 and complete, and are freely illustrat- 

 ed by many handsome, original half- 

 tone engravings of more than usual 

 merit. It is a catalogue that inspires 

 confidence and respect and is a fit rep- 

 resentative of the well known firm that 

 issues it.
