Lowell, Mass. 



the judging is going on, also that all 

 the exliibltion vases be painted a darli 

 bottle green. 



Discussion of Joseph Hill's paper 

 was opened by W. N. Rudd, who could 

 see no practical value in the conclu- 

 sions as to the cost of growing any 

 specified variety in any one place and 

 asserted, that you cannot publish any 

 set of rules that will make an expert 

 carnation grower of any man, but 

 could see good value in comparisons 

 between varieties as to productive 

 qualities. 



President Brown agreed with Mr. 

 Hill's proposition, and stated that Cot- 

 tage Gardens records for seven years 

 show average returns of three and 

 one-tenth cents per flower. 



W. N. Rudd read the thoughtful re- 

 port of the committee on the presi- 

 dent's address and an intepesting gen- 

 eral discussion followed. 



ELECTION OF OFFICERS. 



The officers as nominated were elect- 

 ed by an unanimous vote, S. A. And- 

 erson being substituted for W. F. Kast-

Improved 



Golden Chadwick 



(Pollworlh) 



The Chadwick family of 

 Chrysanthemums are the 

 highest type of the commer- 

 cial v.arieties, and any sport 

 of Chadwick that is an im- 

 proTement will be welcomed. 

 This new variety has its 

 origin in the West. We have 

 taken part of the stock and 

 will distribute the variety the 

 coming season. It is des- 

 cribed as identical with the 

 parent in all respects except 

 form and color of the bloom. 

 It is a perfectly formed 

 flower and a deeper golden 

 yellow in color. 



It is a variety that will be 

 found all that the name Im- 

 plies. It means better late 

 mums, and you need it.

ing. The President appointed Wm. 

 Nicholson, E. G. Gillett and Josepli 

 Hill a committee on final resolutions. 



Interesting discussion on the mutual 

 relations of retailers and societies was 

 in progress as we went to press. 



Attention was called to the nine 

 beautiful non-cempetitive tables of dec- 

 orations made by the Cleveland Retail 

 Florists from new varieties contributed 

 by many carnation growers and which 

 we shall fully describe next week. 



THE EXHIBITION. 



The exhibition was staged very con- 

 veniently for examination, each class 

 being on a round table separately. 

 Judging was done promptly and award 

 cards were on by five o'clock on 

 Wednesday. Much regret was ex- 

 pressed tliat the extensive exhibit of 

 P. Dorner and Sons Co., was ruined 

 in transit. 



Considering the distance and all con- 

 ditions, the New England growers 



have much 'cause for pride in their 

 winnings!. \
