FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHINGTON. 



At the regular meeting of the Flor- 

 ists' Club there was displayed a vase 

 of "Mrs. Charles J. Bell," a new rose, 

 a sport from Radiance, by John Ander- 

 son, gardener for Mrs. Bell. Mr. An- 

 derson said that he has had it for 

 three years. It is flesh pink, flowers 

 freely and is very fragrant. He said 

 that it is splendid for both outdoor 

 and indoor production, and it does not 

 fade when full open. 



A resolution was adopted extending 

 sympathy to J. .J. Brickings and hope 

 for an early and full recovery from in- 

 juries sustained by him when a street 

 car struck the wagon he was driving 

 and caused him to be confined to a 

 hospital for a number of weeks.

NEW YORK FLORISTS' CLUB. 



There were over one hundred mem- 

 bers in attendance at the meeting of 

 the New York Florists' Club on Mon- 

 day evening, October 9. A general 

 discussion of matters relating to the 

 coming S. A. F. Convention was the 

 main business of the evening. All 

 were enthusiastic, although the date is 

 still far off and "other big events will 

 claim attention in the meantime. The 

 most interesting feature was Secre- 

 tary Young's detailed report on the 

 Convention Garden which is being 

 prepared in the Bronx Park Botanical 

 Garden under the supervision of Dr. 

 N. L. Britton, director-in-chief of the 

 garden. The tract assigned to the 

 Convention plantations comprises 

 about six acres. It is splendidly lo- 

 cated and plantings may be arranged 

 for now if desired. W. A. Manda fol- 

 lowed with a fervent address on the 

 same subject. 



Speeches were made by the newly 

 initiated members, Winfried Rolker, 

 Clifford Lowther and Henry Schmidt, 

 in a style that assures a substantial 

 augmentation of the club's oratorical 

 resources. A red-hot speech by Jos. 

 Manda in favor of a "ladies' night" 

 was received with vociferous approval 

 and the November meeting will be 

 "ladies' night" accordingly, the com- 

 mittee in charge being Jos. Manda, 

 boss, A. L. Miller, Emil Schloss, Jas- 

 per Lewis and R. J. Irwin. 



Resolutions on the death of \V. F. 

 Kasting and Wm. Tiicker were adopt- 

 ed as follows: 



WHEREAS. It is incumbent upon the 

 .Vpw York Florists' Club to record the 

 (icath of one of its most esteemed mem- 

 bers in the person of William Tricker, of 

 -VrliuKtiin. X, .T.. who has been called from 

 its niclnlx'fsliip ; 



liE IT RE.SOLVED. That the Club, real- 

 izing the loss to .Vmerican horticulture sus- 

 tained in the death of Mr. Tricker. in this 

 resolution expresses its deep regard for the 

 deceased, particularly as to his work 

 among aquatic plants, and for his charm- 

 ing personality in his intercourses with his 

 brother horticulturists. The new varieties 

 of plants which he introduced, and his im- 

 provements of existing types, will perpet- 

 uate his menioiy, and add to the lustre of 

 our membership roll, of which he was ever 

 most solicitous. 



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That 

 this resolution be entered upon our min- 

 utes, anil that a copy be transmitted to the 

 decea.sed's family with whom the Club ex- 

 presses its deepest svnipathy. 

 Signed : C. W. Knight. Peter Duff. Chas. 



H. Totty. 



WHEREAS. We. the members of the New 

 York I'^lorists' Club, are deeply touched by 

 the sudden death of our friend and fellow 

 member. William F. Kasting, who was 

 stri<ken at the height of his activities. 



RESOLVED. That we take this oppor- 

 tunity of expressing our profound sym- 

 pathy with the family of our deceased fel- 

 low member, in their recent bereavment. 

 The community in which he lived, the 

 many societies and associations of men 

 with which he was actively identified, have 

 sustained a signal loss by his demise. Hla 

 success in life was achieved by the observ-
