A flower show of no small magni- 

 tude In connection with the October 

 meeting of the Florists' Club of Wash- 

 ington proved a pleasing surprise to 

 those who attended and were treated 

 to a display unequalled here since the 

 last public flower show given by the 

 club. 



Included in the exhibit were some 

 twenty-five or more varieties of chrys- 

 anthemums, si.xteen of which had been 

 sent by C. H. Totty, of Madison, N. J. 

 These were of the early outdoor class 

 and were recently imported by him 

 from Paris. France. The varieties 

 Mme. A. Nonin. LaAisne, H. H. Crane 

 and A. Barham were awarded a cer- 

 tificate of merit and the committee 

 presented a resolution thanking Mr. 

 Totty for his kindness in bringing the 

 flowers before the Club and commend- 

 ing their beauty and commercial 

 worth. Many native varieties were 

 also shown and included in the display 

 were roses, violets, orchids, lily of the 

 valley, dahlias, snapdragon, cosmos, 

 etc. Special mention was made of Mrs. 

 George Shawyer, Radiance. Milady, 

 Kaiserin and Mrs. Charles Russell 

 roses. The Radiance roses exhibited 

 by Mr. Gude. as well as his American 

 Beauties, cannot be beaten. 



I. Rosnosky. of Philadelphia, and M. 

 C. Ebel. of Madison. N. J., were pres- 

 ent and each made a few remarks. Mr. 

 Hammer told of the trip taken by the 

 sixty or more members of the club and 

 their friends to White Marsh. Md., on 

 the occasion of the annual dahlia show 

 of Richard Vincent Jr. & Sons' Com- 

 pany. There were only about two mem- 

 bers present during Mr. Hammer's re- 

 cital who had missed the trip and these 

 looked quite envious. He declared the 

 show to have been one of the most suc- 

 cessful he had ever attended and his 

 remarks were concurred in by the 

 others. Deep regret was expressed on 

 the death of Mr. Constant Ponnet 

 which occurred some few weeks ago. 

 and a letter expressing the sympathy of 

 the club was ordered sent to his son.

 ists' Club on Monday evening, October

 port of progress of the business con- 

 nected with the approaching spring

 tising space in the official program 

 placed to the amount of $1500. The

THE LATE JULIUS ROEHRS. 



The following resolutions were 

 adopted by a rising vote at the meet- 

 ing of the New York Florists' Club, 

 October 13, 1913: 



W1IEKEA.S, God in His infinite wisdom 

 li.i« taken to Himself our friend and fel- 

 li>\v member, Juliu.s Itoelirs. and 



WllEKE.'iS, Following tbe rule of cus- 

 tom, and the dictates of hearts strength- 

 ened by association with him in life, we 

 take occasion, assembled as the New York 

 Florists' Club, to give expression to the 

 .sense of loss which overspreads us, to 

 record in our proceedings the solemn sor- 

 row we feel and to send a united message 

 of sympathy and condolence to his be- 

 reaved family. 



It is meet and proper that in doing 

 these we should also give testimony to the 

 value of the deceased to us as a fellow 

 member. Wise in council, energetic in 

 action, cheerful in companionsliip, he en- 

 deared himself to us all and in bis pass- 

 ing we feel that we have lost one of the 

 staunchest supporters and most valuable 

 members of our organization. 



It is but just to his memory also to 

 record that his enterprise was inspiring, 

 his successful culture of the finest in hor- 

 ticulture raised the standard for the bene- 

 fit of all. He was a tower of strength to 

 us in many ways and the place he occu- 

 pied in horticulture will, we believe, re- 

 main vacant for many a day. 



HKSOLVED. That we tender to the 

 family of the deceased our deepest sym- 

 pathy in thein loss. 



RESOLVED, That a copy of these reso- 

 lutions be sent to the famil.v and that 

 they be spread in full upon the minutes 

 of this meeting.
