 ous rooted begonias.

HARTFORD FLORISTS' CLUB. 



The regular meetings of the club 

 were resumed on the 19th inst. with 

 a creditable attendance of members. 

 President Huss gave a highly interest- 

 ing account of his two months' sojourn 

 in France, Switzerland and Italy. His 

 description of the Alpine flora at differ- 

 ent altitudes was especially appreci- 

 ated and he was awarded a hearty vote 

 of thanks. Treasurer Scrivener and 

 Secretary Ruedlinger submitted their 

 semi-annual reports which showed that 

 the affairs of the club, financial and 

 otherwise, were in a flourishing and 

 vigorous condition. Peter Zuger was 

 awarded a certificate of merit for a 

 new seedling begonia. This novelty is 

 the result of a cross between B. Er- 

 fordi and B. Bijou, foliage bright yel- 

 low, habit neat and compact, height six 

 inches. It stands the sun well and 

 promises to be a valuable addition to 

 the list of dwarf bedding varieties.
