MADISON, N. J. 



Club Notes. 



Three more new members were pro- 

 posed at the regular meeting on Wed- 

 nesday night and there was a good 

 attendance on hand, with a fine show- 

 ing of flowering shrubs and hardy 

 flowers. 



The details of the monthly exhibi- 

 tions having been worked out. the re- 

 port of the committee was accepted 

 as presented. The regular competition 

 will commence with the .Tune meeting. 

 There are five classes arranged for. 

 Rose.ti and carnations, stove and green- 

 house plants, and cut flowers; hardy 

 perennial, bulbous and annual garden 

 flowers: fruits and vegetables: wild 

 flowers, ferns and grasses. A siivrr 

 medal is the premier award in each 

 class. 



Mr. ,T. Davies read an excellent pa- 

 per on the Gloxinia, of which there 

 were some good plants on show at iIjC 

 meeting. He detailed the culture from 

 the seedling up to the flowering, and 

 claimed that if the plants were Inured 

 to more airy and less shaded condi- 

 tions when the flowers began tO' ex- 

 pand it would be found they were 

 much more enduring, and thus treated 

 he had found them lasting and thor 

 oughly satisfactory as house plants 

 and to use as cut flowers, the blooms 

 lasting for several days. 



He deprecated overhead spraying at 

 any time and was confident Ihat this 

 combined with high temperature and 

 too much shade caused the leaf dis- 

 ease that sometimes troubled rhe 

 grower and disfigured his plants. A 

 free use of the hose between the pots 

 and upon the benches was advisable, 

 but healthy leaves could not be ex- 

 l)ected if frequently drenched with 

 water. 



MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA. — The 

 greenhouses formerly called the Riv- 

 erside Greenhouses and owned by Mr. 

 Van Schaick, have been sold to F. H. 

 Fenner and the name changed to The 

 Marshalltown Floral Co. Mr. Fenner 

 intends to make considerable improve- 

 ments about the place and also add 

 a small house for palms and ferns. He 

 also will grow more roses than were 

 formerly grown at this establishment.
