SAHPLES AND PRICES UPON REQUEST 



G. W. BROWNELL & COMPANY. WALDEi^, N. Y. 



MINNESOTA STATE FLORISTS' 

 ASSOCIATION. 



At the January meeting of this as- 

 sociation the flower show committees 

 were asked to give their final report \ 

 at the next meeting. The city with , 

 the largest guarantee fund will get j 

 the show next fall ; after that the 

 show will be held alternately in one 

 of the Twin Cities. The entertain- 

 ment committee reported that the sec- 

 ond annual dance will be held at the 

 Ark Auditorium on February 7th (not 

 on the 16th as was originally intend- 

 ed, as the sale of tickets lor this date 

 would have been curtailed, it being 

 In Lent). 



Nagel & Son exhibited five cycla- 

 mens, which scored S^Vz points. 

 Messrs. Swanson and Nagel were 

 elected delegates for the year to the 

 State Agricultural Society, which has 

 the management of the State Fair. 

 The president of each auxiliary so- 

 ciety is delegate according to the 

 Constitution of the Agricultural So 

 ciety. It was decided that 50 per 

 cent, of the net profit of the flower 

 show should go to the Minnesota 

 State Florists' Association. 



CHICAGO FLORISTS' CLUB. 



Installation of ofllcers was the main 

 business at the regular meeting of the 

 Chicago Florists' Club, Feb. 3rd. Geo. 

 Asmus is again occupying the presi- 

 dent's chair. Genial Harry Phillpot 

 showed his devotion to the Chicago 

 florists by coming all the way from 

 Winniiieg to be installed vice-presi- 

 dent, and says he expects to be here 

 for each meeting. Louis and Ed. Win- 

 terson are respectively secretary and 

 treasurer. 



ABOUT PLANT TUBS. 



Bobbink & Atkins' tub department 

 is very busy at the present time. Most 

 buyers realize how important it is to 

 place their orders for tubs of special 

 size at this season sufficiently ahead 

 so as to be fully ready for spring use. 

 The square model, mission finish, is 

 especially called for this season. 'This 

 style looks well associated with any 

 kind of architecture. 



The prevalent opinion in the West- 

 ern New York horticultural Society, in 

 session at Rochester last week is that 

 nurserymen will be able to supply but 

 a small percentage of the young apple 

 trees that will be demanded for plant- 

 ing next spring
