HORTICULTURE 



April 1, 1911 



nation in England and the popularity 

 of the type oE flower. C. Engelmann, 

 of Saffron Walden, another of the par- 

 ty, well known as a carnation grower, 

 also spoke. On being asked what va- 

 rieties were favorites there, he men- 

 tioned Enchantress, White Perfection, 

 Mrs. C. W. Ward, Beacon, Scarlet 

 Glow and Mrs. M. A. Patten. W. B. 

 Wallace, another visitor from abroad, 

 spoke gracefully of the great hospital- 

 ity he had experienced since his ar- 

 rival in America. A vote of thanks to 

 the visitors for their attendance was 

 passed. 



The question of the next place of 

 meeting coming up, Philip Breitmeyer 

 of Detroit, made an eloquent speech in 

 which he set forth the claims of De- 

 troit. He explained that the American 

 Rosfe society had voted to hold its an- 

 nual meeting next year in Detroit, and 

 that if the Carnation Society could se- 

 lect a mutually acceptable date it 

 would be a good plan. The Board of 

 Directors was empowered to represent 

 the society in a conference with the 

 representatives of the Rose Society. J. 

 A. Valentine was nominated for pres- 

 ident, Philip Breitmeyer for vice-presi- 

 dent, A. F. J. Baur for secretary, Fred 

 E. Dorner of Lafayette, Ind., for treas- 

 urer. J. F. Ammann of Edwardsville. 

 111., James T. Scott of Elmsford, N. Y., 

 and C. W. Johnson of Morgan Park, 

 111., were nominated for judges. The 

 report of the judges was then present- 

 ed. The meeting then adjourned until 

 Thursday morning. 



Thursday Morning's Session. 



At the meeting on Thursday A. M. 

 the society confirmed the nomination 

 of officers previously made and each 

 was elected. 



Resolutions were passed on the 

 death of Fred Dorner. It is earnestly 

 desired to have some form of a me- 

 morial or tablet to the memory of Mr. 

 Dorner, each member to subscribe 

 $2.00, notification of same to be made 

 to each member by the secretary. 

 Committee on president's message re- 

 ported as not in favor of changing the 

 scale of points, and the committee on 

 the secretary's suggestion in regard to 

 delinquents reported that such delin- 

 quents may come in upon payment of 

 one year's dues, |5.00. Both of these 

 motions were adopted by the society. 

 New judges were elected by ballot; 

 Wm. Nicholson, E. S. Stroud and C. 

 W. Johnson was elected to fill the un- 

 expired term of W. N. Rudd. Detroit 

 was decided on as the meeting place 

 for 1912, the date being set for Jan- 

 uary 24th. It was also decided that 

 the board of directors be empowered 

 to accept the final report which will 

 obviate the calling of a general meet- 

 ing for Friday night, that is, the final 

 report of judges. The board of direc- 

 tors were also empowered to pay over 

 the money due the National Flower 

 Show Association. 



NATIONAL SWEET PEA SOCIETY 

 OF AMERICA. 



The opening meeting of this socie- 

 ty was held on Wednesday afternoon. 

 President Burpee, in a very felicitous 

 speech introduced George Asmus pres- 

 ident of the S. A. F. Mr. Asmus said 

 in part: You are one of the auxiliary 

 societies connected with one of the 

 greatest flower shows we have ever
