NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The meeting of the New York Flor- 

 ists' Club on Monday evening, April 

 14, was fairly well attended but very 

 little important business was transact- 

 ed, the close of the big exhibition the 

 night before having left everybody con- 

 nected with it pretty well tired out 

 and all matters appertaining to it were 

 laid over until the May meeting. 

 Oscar Boehler, A. L. Miller and John 

 Birnie were appointed a committee to 

 work with the committees of the New 

 York and New Jersey Plant Growers' 

 Association and the New York Plant 

 and Flower Market Association in the 

 matter of the proposed public plant 

 and flower market in Union Square. 

 At present there is no covering of any 

 kind for wagons or stands but it is 

 expected that proper provision will be 

 made. 



Resolutions were read and adopted 

 on the death of A. Moltz and Philip 

 Einsman. Philip Kessler for the out- 

 ing committee stated that this annual 

 affair would take place on Tuesday, 

 July 1, at Wetzel's Point Grove. C. B. 

 Weathered showed a design that had 

 been submitted for a permanent button 

 for club members and a committee was 

 authorized to consider and report on 

 this matter at a later meeting. Twelve 

 new names were proposed for member- 

 ship. Beigenfield Nurseries showed Lo- 

 belia Mrs. Clibran and two seedling 

 carnations. 



AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF NUR- 

 SERYMEN. 



Portland Convention, June 18-20. — 

 Mr. Marsden B. Fox, special excursion 

 agent for the association, suggests 

 that members in the Middle West and 

 South and Southwest, arrange to join 

 the Eastern men either at Chicago or 

 St. Paul. It may consume a little 

 longer time for some to do this, but 

 it will not cost any more, and the 

 larger the party the more enjoyment 

 will the trip yield. Those who expect 

 to attend the convention by any route, 

 and those who wish to join the East- 

 em party, should communicate at once 

 with the Secretary.

ST. LOUIS FLORIST CLUB. 



The twenty-five members of the Flor-

 The publicity committee reported 

 through Chairman Windier. The com- 

 mittee is now hard at work for Moth- 

 er's Day and Decoration Day. In re- 

 sponse to an invitation from the direc- 

 tor of the Missouri Botanical Garden

"The faults of the grower in grow- 

 ing and consigning," was the the title 

 of a paper read before the Lancaster 

 Florists' Club on the 17th inst., by 

 Samuel S. Pennock of Philadelphia. A 

 quarter of a century's experience in 

 the small space between the upper and 

 the nether millstone makes this out- 

 giving of exceptional interest to every 

 grower. To whet the appetities of our 

 readers — we hope to be able to publish 

 this in full next week. Do not miss 

 the next number — and be sure your 

 subscription is paid up. Obey that im- 

 pulse.

 have been donated. The committee has 

 arranged a schedule that will, we be- 

 lieve, suit everyone, school children in- 

 cluded. A feature of this show will be

Fruit Trees." Quite a large number 

 of pictures were shown illustrating the 

 methods of pruning, planting, etc., 

 recommended for the reclaiming of old 

 orchards, so long neglected in this 

 state. Prof. Jarvis answered many 

 questions in a very able and practical 

 manner. On account of the Inter- 

 national Exhibition being held in New 

 York, the exhibits at the meeting 

 were not so much in evidence as 

 usual. The following awards were 

 made: 



Thos. Ryan — cultural certificate for sweet 

 peas.

 specimen marguerite.
