CLUBS AND SOCIETIES 



NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The regular meeting of this Club 

 for December, held on Monday even- 

 ing, December 12 was well attended, 

 there being over one hundred mem- 

 bers present, attracted by the fact that 

 it was election night and the an- 

 nouncement that E. G. Hill of Rich- 

 mond, Ind., would be present with 

 some of his new roses. 



After the regular routine had been 

 put through Mr. O'Mara made a re- 

 port of progress on behalf of the com- 

 mittee appointed to further the project 

 of a range of greenhouses at Cornell 

 for experimenting and demonstration 

 in floriculture. A letter from W. F. 

 Kasting of Buffalo was presented, stat- 

 ing that a bill was In preparation for 

 presentation in the State Assembly 

 and Senate and urging the necessity 

 of activity in support of same by every 

 florist organization not only in New 

 York but in every section of the coun- 

 try. F. R. Pierson and others spoke 

 in approval. 



The outing committee's report was 

 accepted and an order passed to de- 

 fray the deficiency from the Club's 

 treasury. J. H. Fieser, J. H. Pepper 

 and A. R. Kennedy, candidates for 

 vice-president, secretary and treas- 

 urer, respectively, withdrew their 

 names from the contest. The result 

 of the balloting was as follows: Pres- 

 ident, John B. Nugent; vice-president, 

 Harry A. Bunyard; secretary, John 

 Young; treasurer, W. C. Rickards, Jr.; 

 trustees, I. S. Hendrlckson (one year) 

 F. H. Traeudly, Chas. Weber and C. H. 

 Totty, (2 years). Jos. A. Manda, who 

 was a candidate for the presidency. 



moved that Mr. Nugent's election be 

 made unanimous and this was done. 

 On the exhibition tables the following 

 were shown:

 cate). 



The new roses exhibited by the E. G. 

 Hill Co. were deserving of all that was 

 said of them by our Philadelphia cor- 

 respondent in last week's issue. 



Messrs. Weathered, Traendly and 

 Bunyard were appointed a committee 

 on resolutions on the death of the 

 brother of the Messrs. Manda. Louis 

 J. Renter was introduced as a new 

 member and made an appropriate 

 speech. E. G. Hill's address on rose 

 topics was characteristic of this en- 

 tertaining speaker and leading author- 

 ity on the Queen of Flowers. He re- 

 ferred modestly to his own part in the 

 development of the rose in America 

 and combatted the remark sometimes 

 heard — that "there are too many new 

 roses." The retail trade had not 

 given their support and encourage- 

 ment to the growers as they should in 

 the past but a better spirit seemed to 

 be now abroad and the new introduc- 

 tions in roses and other flowers were 

 meeting with a cordial welcome. The 

 public are also taking a deep interest. 

 He told of the interest and enthu- 

 siasm noticed on his recent visit to 

 the Paris show where he was asked 

 to serve on the jury. Out of some 

 eighty rose novelties submitted only 

 six or seven scored. Sunburst, a 

 rose of French origin, he said, had 

 some Persian Yellow blood in it. Rose 

 Queen was one of 6000 seedlings care- 

 fully crossed and seeded and patiently 

 grown and watched for three years.
