E. G. Hill of Richmond. Ind.. who was 

 present, spoke in a similar strain, and 

 also took occasion to adovcate the 

 coming national flower show, urging 

 that the New York fraternity take hold 

 earnestly and help to make it a great 

 national success in its scope, character 

 and influence. He confidently expected 

 a good representation of foreign ex- 

 hibitors. A hearty vote of thanks was 

 tendered Mr. Adams. 



There were some interesting exhibits 

 on which the committee made report 

 as follows: 



Rose Rhea Reid, by E. G. Hill Co., 

 9 points and a preliminary certificate; 

 Rose Princess, 85 points and a pre- 

 liminary certificate. Charles Weber, 

 Lynbrook, showed carnations Imperial, 

 Pink Imperial and Aristocrat, which 

 had previously been shown before tUe 

 club.

Sumptuous entertainment was pro- 

 vided for ladies and everybody else by 

 the official caterer, John B. Nugent, 

 and the rest of the committee on good 

 cheer, physical and mental. Rickards 

 Bros., the whirlwind songsters, were 

 In their best form; the youthful Bur- 

 nett Bros., in violin and piano duets, 

 made a decided hit; Mrs. Bevins, Miss 

 Ruff and Mr. Woodell in vocal selec- 

 tions were very fine, and altogether the 

 affair was most enjoyable in every 

 detail. 



WASHINGTON FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 W. F. C. was held in Gude's Hall, 

 November 5th, with President Bisset 

 in the chair. The coming chrysanthe- 

 mum show was the chief subject of 

 interest. Chairman Cooke of the com- 

 mittee reported to the effect that all 

 arrangements are about perfected and 

 an unusually fine exhibit is expected. 

 It was stated by Secretary McCauley 

 that Mrs. Roosevelt has promised to 

 attend the exhibition. Henry A. Dreer 

 has signified his intention of sending 



on a specially fine exhibit of plants 

 which will afterward be sold and pro- 

 ceeds donated to the associated chari- 

 ties. The club has gotten up a strik- 

 ing "ad" in the form of a handsome 

 card showing a showy chrysanthemum. 

 These will be very freely distributed. 

 It was moved and seconded that Bal- 

 timore be invited to send judges for 

 the show, who will be entertained by 

 the local awards committee. President 

 Bisset was much complimented on 

 several of his new seedling roses which 

 he exhibited for the first time. All the 

 tickets still remaining in the hands of 

 the W. F. C. Bowling Team were quick- 

 ly disposed of.
