The Weekly Florists* Review* 



APRIL 28, 1898. 



MADISON, N. J. 



Club Notes. 



The members of Morris County Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Society were out 

 in full force at its regular meeting on 

 Wednesday night. President Duck- 

 ham in the chair wears the harness as 

 a veteran and all goes as merrily as 

 marriage bells. The society secured 

 some valued acquisitions to its fast 

 growing body of membership by the 

 election of Messrs. C. A. Work and H. 

 Hentz. W. Whalen and D. Falconer 

 were also elected. 



The co-operative purchasing scheme 

 is making substantial progress in the 

 hands of its committee, and a full re- 

 port thereon was promised for next 

 meeting. 



John Jones exhibited some fine 

 Brunners and J. Davies brought a 

 magnificent calceolaria; the plant 

 large and well flowered, though only 

 in a r>-inch pot. 



The competitions, as arranged for at 

 the monthly meetings promise to give 

 an impetus to the society's work, and 

 a committee was appointed specially to 

 develop this new feature. 



The essayist of the evening was Mr. 

 A. Herrington, who gave a long and 

 most interesting talk on "Insectivorous 

 Plants." his remarks being well illus- 

 trated with specimens of droseras, 

 nepenthes and sarracenias, besides 

 large drawings showing the different 

 processes by which all these plants at- 

 tain the same desired end, that of ob- 

 taining the essential nitrogen for their 

 sustenance. 



We give elsewhere a more detailed 

 notice of the subject. "Tell it not in 

 Gath," but set it down to the gory na- 

 ture of the evening's talk for the ru- 

 mors of a hot "mix up" are well found- 

 ed, and not till the evening train of 

 the following day did one of our visit- 

 ors depart after having finally located 

 and secured his Knox (size 714), while 

 the others have yet to be heard from. 



WE HAVK RECEIVED from the 

 Pierce, Butler & Pierce Mfg. Co., Syra- 

 cuse, N. y., a copy of their latest 

 pamphlets regarding radiators and 

 valves. It is very handsomely illus- 

 trated and printed. This firm is the 

 maker of the well known Spence hot 

 water heater.
