FLORISTS' CLUB OF WASHING- 

 TON. 



Considerable discussion was given 

 to the origia of various roses which 

 play such a prominent part in the 

 everyday business of florists at the Oc- 

 tober meeting of this club on Tuesday 

 evening last. It was announced that 

 Robert Pyle would deliver a lecture on 

 "Rose Growing in Europe" before the 

 club on Tuesday evening. October 8. 

 The entertainment committee will have 

 charge of this affair. The assembly 

 hall of the Business High School, 

 which has a seating capacity of 1.500, 

 has been procured and a like number 

 of invitations will be sent out to mem- 

 bers of the club, their friends, and 

 many of the teachers and others in- 

 terested in horticulture and botany. 



Z. D. Blackistone, William F. Gude 

 and George Cooke were appointed 

 members of the publicity committee 

 formed upon recommendation of the 

 New York Club. One of the members 

 of this committee will be designated 

 to represent the club at meetings of 

 the general committee. 



At this meeting also there was pre- 

 sented to the club a handsomely en- 

 graved set of resolutions by the Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club of Balti- 

 more, in memory of the late William 

 R. Smith of Washington. 



Announcement was made that the 

 club's bowling team had begun its fall 

 schedules and would participate in the 

 games of the District League. Prac- 

 tice is held every Monday evening at 

 Eighth and E streets, N. W., in the 

 Rathskellar Alleys. A committee 

 composed of Messrs. Hammer, Ernest, 

 Lewis, Dalglish, Berry and Shaffer 

 was appointed to cooperate with the 

 team which will go to the convention 

 next year to uphold the honors of this 

 city. 



The by-laws committee rendered its 

 report containing numerous proposed 

 amendments. Alfred HeitmuUer of the 

 Centre Market was unanimously elect- 

 ed to membership. 



FLORISTS' CLUB OF PHILADEL- 

 PHIA. 

 The October monthly meeting was 

 held on the 1st inst. Two features of 

 importance brought out a good atten- 

 dance — the annual election of officers, 

 and the illustrated lecture by Richard 

 Vincent, Jr. The former resulted in 

 the reappointment of the old person- 

 nel: J. Otto Thilow, president; David 

 Rust, secretary; George Craig, treas- 

 urer. Mr. Vincent's lecture was of en- 

 thralling interest, and carried the au- 

 dience with tongue and picture not 

 only through the great International 

 Show in London but all over Europe. 

 Mr. Vincent is a ready talker and with 

 his running fire of joke and comment 

 on his experiences of the trip kept 

 his listeners up to a high point in en- 

 joyment — as well as bringing out the 

 salient instructive points. It was al- 

 most as good as having been at the 

 show ourselves, and was certainly 

 hugely enjoyed. , 



CONNECTICUT HORTICULTURAL 

 SOCIETY. 



Our second Septeraljer meeting wa? 

 held on the 27th ult., and was largely 

 spent in discussion of methods of in- 

 ducing greater public interest in our 



exhibitions. When the figures were 

 produced, it was found that only 850 

 people attended the recent excel'.ent 

 dahlia show. 



A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Cromwell, 

 sent to this meeting a grand vase ut 

 his new rose. Milady, a cross of J. B. 

 Clark and Richmond. R. T. Beeis, 

 a late graduate of Amherst, and no.v 

 employed by Mr. Pierson, gave a brief 

 outline of the history of this rose. A 

 first class certificate was awarded to 

 Mr. Pierson. 



Siy nev/ members were elected, as 

 follows: Arthur Perkins, Samuel H. 

 Deming and Edward C. Swan of Hart- 

 ford; B. F. White. Terryville; Georgs 

 H. Walker, North Dighton. Mass.: W. 

 E. Hathawav, New Bedford, Mass. 



GEORGE W. SMITH. Sec. 



The next exhibition of the Massa- 

 chusetts Horticultural Society will be 

 devoted exclusively to fruits and 

 vegetables and will be held at Horti- 

 cultural Hall, Boston, Friday. Satur- 

 day and Sunday. October 4, 5 and 6. 

 To many people an exhibit of this 

 kind is fully as interesting as one of 

 flowers and plants, and affords an op- 

 portunity to view the products of New- 

 England's orchards and vegetable gar- 

 dens and to see the perfection attain- 

 ed in the cultivation of these two im- 

 portant branches of the horticultur- 

 ist's art. Apples of nearly every 

 known variety suitable for cultivation 

 in this section of the country will be 

 shown, as well as pears, peaches, 

 plums and grapes. The schedule for 

 vegetables is unusually complete, 150 

 prizes being offered in this class alone. 

 The exhibition is free and will be 

 open Friday from 12 M. to 6 P. M.: 

 Saturday, from 10 A. M. to 10 P. M.; 

 and Sunday, from 2 to 6 P. M.
