FLORISTS' AND GARDENERS' 



CUUB. 



The regular meeting was held Oct. 

 3rd at the greenhouses of Butler & 

 Ullman, Northampton. There was an 

 excellent attendance and the meeting 

 throughout was packed full of inter- 

 est. Prospects are bright for the 

 fourth annual show, to be held in the 

 Northampton City Hall, Nov. 1st and 

 2nd. 



Instead of the customary paper each 

 member brought a question. These 

 naturally covered a wide field of en- 

 quiry, but as a sign of the times it 

 was interesting to note that several 

 had to do with the increasing cost of 

 florists' supplies. 



Butler & Ullman exhibited vases of 

 Ophelia and Russell roses of excellent 

 quality and H. E. Downer showed 

 flowering plants of Eichornia crassi- 

 pes. H. E. D. 



CLUB AND SOCIETY NOTES. 



At the annual autumn show of the 

 National Rose Society (London, Eng.) 

 a gold medal was awarded to Rose 

 Christine, a most gorgeous, deep yel- 

 low H. T. variety, described as aglori- 

 fied Rayon d'Or, for it is much like a 

 richer bloom of that beautiful varie- 

 ty. It was exhibited by S. McGredy 

 & Son. 



The 22d annual meeting of the New 

 Hampshire Horicultural Society will
