NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



Thp October meeting of the New 

 York Florists' Club was held last 

 Monday evening, President Scott in 

 the chair. Caterer Nugent at his sta- 

 tion in the commissary department, 

 and upwards of sixty members on the 

 benches ready for any diversion or 

 business chat might come up. Routine 

 matters were put through in due form. 

 The needed incentive for interesting 

 and spicy debate was given when the 

 q'.iestion of the proper classification 

 of "stove" and "greenhouse" plants, 

 recently brought before the S. A. F., 

 was launched, and then there was no 

 end of fun. The president vacated his 

 seat to the vice-president and joined 

 in the fray on the floor. The result of 

 the scrimmage was the passing of a 

 resolution to the effect "that the pres- 

 ent designation of 'stove and green- 

 house plants' be changed in all ex- 

 hibits of the club to read 'greenhouse 

 plants' and, further, that we suggest 

 to all horticultural bodies the advisa- 

 bility of conforming to this action by 

 this club." The next meeting will be 

 a gala affair, with music and other 

 prime attractions. 



ST. LOUIS COMING TO THE FRONT. 



The formation of a society to hold 

 stated flower shows and endeavor to 

 enlighten the public more generally in 

 floriculture as well as to advance an 

 interest in horticulture and sociability 

 among its members, is now assured. 

 For some months past there has been 

 a desire for such an institution, but not 

 until a certain number of florists met 

 al the country home of Mr. C. C. San- 

 ders and formed a temporary organiza- 

 tion did the unexpected hapi)en. On 

 October .5, at the call of the tempo- 

 rary chairman, F. C. Weber, a meet- 

 ing was held at the home of Otto G. 

 Koenig. where a permanent organiza- 

 tion was formed by the election of the 

 following otJicers: Harry Young, 

 president: Alex. Waldbart, vice-presi- 

 dent: Fred C. Weber, treasurer: Otto 

 G. Koenig, secretary. C. C. Sanders, 

 Theo Miller, F. H. Meinhardt, Geo. 

 B. Windier, Emil Schray and .John 

 Koenig were enrolled as members. 

 George Waldbart was unavoidably 

 absent. Charles Crucknell, an invited 

 guest of Alex. Waldbart, contributed 

 much interesting information regard- 

 ing societies in other cities: discus- 

 sion followed. At the next meeting 

 by-laws and name for the society will 

 be adopted.
