The regular meeting of the Utiea 

 Florists' Club, which was held at its 

 rooms March 5, was very largely at- 

 tended and we had a very fine meeting. 

 Three new members were elected and 

 application for another was made for 

 next meeting. Still they come. Our 

 club was never before in such a flourish- 

 ing condition as at the present time. I 

 think perhaps our drawing card at this 

 meeting was the notice that one of our 

 members^ Mr. J. C. Trandt, of Canajo- 

 harie, would give us an essay on how to 

 grow that beautiful begonia, Gloire de 

 Lorraine, which he does so well. Tlic 

 subject was so ably handled by J[r. 

 Trandt that it left no room for criti- 

 cism and a vote of thanks was extended 

 td him for his very interesting paper. 



Mr. Harry Mathews brought to the 

 meeting a sport from Mrs. I^awson of 

 that beautiful Daybreak color. It was 

 certainly fine, of as large size and good 

 stem as Lawson, and if it should stay 

 would be a grand addition to the carna- 

 tions. 



It was decided to send an invitation 

 to our Syracuse florists to cross the bat. 

 or ball I should say, in our alleys on 

 March 18. We shall expect a large dele- 

 gation of well trained Onondaga.-!, but 

 the Oneidas will Ije on hand. You will 

 hear more about it after the battle is 

 over. 



Several rumors are in the air that 

 there will be some building this season, 

 but I am not at liberty to say to whom 

 they refer just yet. 



It is all up to President Baker now. 

 He has something new to show us that 

 grew on his piace. It arrived ^[arch ."i. 

 and I believe weighed eight and one-half 

 pounds — a fine boy. It will take onlv 

 a few bottles of wine to go around. 

 Frank, and don't you care.
