FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHING- 

 TON. 



A special meeting was held at Gude's 

 Hall, Jan. 21st, for the purpose of set- 

 tling all final matters pertaining to the 

 approaching carnation show. There is 

 every reason to believe that the exhi- 

 bition will outdistance all other shows 

 of this city. On the evening of Jan. 

 29th, which is "McKlnley Day," all the 

 carnations will be given away, and 

 growers are earnestly requested to 

 donate what carnations they can to 

 help make the undertaking a thorough 

 success in every way. 



The reception to be held on the 

 evening of the BOth will be at 

 Rauschei''s. F. H. Kramer was ap- 

 pointed chairman ot committee with 

 the power of appointing six colleagues 

 of his own selection. The committee 

 on baniiuct hall decoration is headed 

 by Wm. F. Gude, who will also select 

 his own committee. Chas. McCauley 

 was appointed superintendent of ex- 

 hibition. All exhibition tables must 

 be below the usual average in order 

 that the exhibits may be better seen 

 and be more effective. Letters were 

 read from both Commissioner McFar- 

 land and Secretary Wilson declining 

 with regret their invitations to be 

 present at the banquet, pleading pre- 

 vious engagements. 



The next regular m^e«ting of the club 

 will be held Feb. 4th and will be es- 

 pecially important, as it is the meeting 

 for the election of officers for the com- 

 ing year.
