LEE "WHITMAN, Cor. Sec. 



BUFFALO FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The regular meeting and annual elec- 

 tion of officers was held on the evening 

 of March 1st at the Iroquois Hotel. 

 Not that the club rooms were not large 

 enough, but on account of the enter- 

 tainment committee selecting this ho- 

 tel as the proper place to hold a flower 

 show, banquet and entertainment. 

 Some excellent blooms were seen. A 

 vase of carnation "Ideal" shown by 



W. C. Stroh of Attica was fine, the 

 color being a pink deeper than that 

 of Enchantress but the bloom a trifle 

 smaller. Melody and White Perfec- 

 tion by A. Pauly, assorted varieties 

 aud Killarney roses by W. J. Palmer 

 & Son, assorted carnations by White 

 Bros, and Wm. Ehmann, together with 

 some very fine sweet peas, mignonette, 

 etc., from the latter; also fine red 

 carnations by Jno, Priesach, good col- 

 lections by Chas. Guenther and by 

 P. Dorner & Son. A shipment from 

 the Chicago Carnation Co. arrived the 

 following morning, but in excellent 

 condition, and were seen at the whole- 

 sale house, among the varieties being 

 Conquest, Sangamo and Mary Tol- 

 man. Mrs. W. W. Coles also arrived 

 late. 



The election was a hot contest, Jos. 

 Streit being elected president: O. G. 

 Gilles, vice-president; Wm. Legg, sec- 

 retary; Jerome Deutseher, financial 

 secretary, and Chas. Sandiford, treas- 

 urer. The annual banquet followed, 

 with Wm, F. Kasting as toastmaster. 

 Songs and other entertainment was 

 enjoyed by the members, and good 

 remarks by the outgoing oflicers and 

 others. 



A paper on color harmony was read 

 by Edw. Slattery, which will appear 

 in some later issue of this paper. 

 The lantern slides, operated by O. 

 G. Gilles aud W. Palmer, Jr., were 

 excellent. 



At a meeting of the local Florist 

 Club, Dayton, Ohio, a petition was 

 drafted favoring the setting aside of 

 a certain section in the Central Market 

 for a flower market.
