NOTICE TO ORCHID GROWERS: 



Summit, N. J., Jan. 20, 1920. 



In regard to quarantine No. 37 re- 

 stricting the importation of orchids: 



Your chairman has been in commu- 

 nication with the Federal Horticul- 

 tural Board for some time with a view 

 of obtaining a hearing before the 

 Board and to have the embargo on 

 orchids lifted. 



A communication from the Federal 

 Hortitultural Board has just been re- 

 ceived and reads as follows: 



"In response to requests for a con- 

 ference on the subject of the restric- 

 tions on the importation of orchids, 

 the Board has made arrangements for 

 such a conference on February 10, 

 1920, at 10 o'clock, in the office of 

 the chairman of the Board, United 

 States Department of Agriculture, 

 Washington, D. C. Your attention at 

 this conference will be appreciated." 

 Signed, C. L. Maelatt, 

 Chairman of the Board. 



The above speaks for itself and 

 needs no comment. 



While your chairman holds a great 

 many credentials from the foremost 

 orchid growers in this country au- 

 thorizing him and the committee to act 

 for them it is but fair that as many as 

 possible should attend the conference 

 personally. No other notice will be 

 sent out, hence it behooves you to re- 

 member the date of the conference, 

 Feb. 10, 1920: place — office of the 

 chairman of the Federal Horticultural 

 Board, Department of Agriculture, 

 Washington, D. C.

 Chairman, Orchid Committee. 



MR. MEADER HAS A NEW REFRIG- 

 ERATOR. 



It helps a lot when a florist can keep 

 on such good terms with his local 

 newspaper as to get' a pleasant free 

 reading notice on occasions. Evidently 

 Pres, Meader of the American Gladio- 

 lus Society stands well to the reporters 

 of his town, for a recent number of the 

 Dover, N. H., Tribune contains the fol- 

 lowing: 



"Herbert E. Meader, proprietor of 

 popular Third street flower shop, has 

 received a handsome McCray florists' 

 refrigerator, one of the most modern 

 flxtures of the up-to-date flower store. 

 It has seven departments in which 

 flowers and plants may be kept at an 

 even temperature the year round, and 

 is ornamental as it is useful. A hand- 

 some variety of modern pottery ware 

 for plants is also now displayed at the 

 Third street flower store."

EDWARD F. NORBERG, 



Carnation Morning Glow Has Been Sold in 

 the Boston Mau'ket for 4 Years 



It is there considered a bread and butter Carnation. The 

 Grower likes It, because it is free and has no tricks. The 

 Seller likes it, because it ships and keeps splendid — and 

 what is best of all — 



THE LADIES ADMIRE, AND ALWAYS BUY IT 



for its fresh, rosy color, just like morning glow. Morning 

 Glow is early, free, has a good habit, fine stem and for 

 blooming during the Summer, cannot be beat. While not 

 one of the largest Carnations, it is considered 



THE MOST PROFITABLE OF ALL 



Cuttings sold by the originator, $7 per 100, $65 per 1000
