AMERICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



The twelfth annual meeting of the 

 American Carnation Society will be held 

 at Brooklyn, X. Y., Tliursday and Fri- 

 day, Feb. 19th and 20th. It will un- 

 doubtedly be the most important meeting 

 ■ever held by the society and the exhibi- 

 tion of new and standard varieties of 

 carnations will unquestionably exceed 

 any ever held before anywhere. 



The meetings will be held in the Ger- 

 mania Club House, 122 Schermerliorn 

 street, and the exhibition in the Art 

 Gallery and Association Hall, 174 ilon- 

 tague street, which is only a short dis- 

 tance from the Germania Club. Intend- 

 ing exhibitors should obtain a copy of 

 the premium list, which has been is- 

 sued, and may secure same by addressing 

 the secretary, Albert M. Herr. Lancas- 

 ter, Pa. The president, Mr. C. W. Ward, 

 Queens, K Y., is sparing no effort to 

 make the Brooklyn convention a record 

 breaker in every way and success in this 

 laudable endeavor is already assured. 



The society lias now been iucorpoiated 

 and the formulating of a constitution 

 and by-laws in accordance witli changed 

 conditions will have to be taken up at 

 the c'oming convention. As this will 

 take up some little time no regular 

 program of papers has been prepared and 

 the time available will be devoted to 

 informal discussion of matters pertain- 

 ing to the carnation and to tlie question 

 box. 



The social features at the convention 

 have received unusual attention. In ad- 

 dition to strong committees ajipointed by 

 the Brooklyn Horticultural Society, the 

 host of the occasion, the Brooklyn In- 

 stitute of Arts and Sciences, has ap- 

 pointed a reception committee of thirty- 

 iive memlwrs, with Hon. Richard Young 

 as chairman, and forty ladies from the 

 same organization, with ;Mrs. .John K. 

 Creevey as chairman, will act as host- 

 esses at the reception to the Carnation 

 Society. 



In the premium list the leading classes 

 for standard varieties are divided into 

 these colors: white, light pink, dark 

 pink, scarlet, crimson, yellow variesated. 

 white variegated, and" any other color. 

 In each of these colors prizes of $12 and 

 $6 are offered for vases of 100 blooms; 

 prizes of $6 and $3 for va.ses of flO 

 blooms: and prizes of $3 and $1.50 for 

 vases of 25 blooms. Then there are "en- 

 eral collections and a host of special 

 prizes in addition to certificates for de- 

 serving seedlings.
