NEW HAVEN FLORISTS AND 

 QUARANTINE 37. 



Florists all over the count:-y are 

 showing increased interest in the mat- 

 ter o£ the numerous quarantines now 

 being placed. The following letter 

 has been handed to us by Mr. J. K. 

 Alexander of East Bridgewater, Mass. 

 It reads as follows: 



"Our Society is heartily in favor of 

 the stand you have taken in regard 

 to the Illinois Quarantine, as pub- 

 lished in Horticulture. A vote was 

 passed at our meeting to oppose the 

 states passing laws of this kind; un- 

 less checked now probably every state 

 will pass similar laws which would be 

 disastrous to the Dahlia industry. I 

 will also bring this matter up at the 

 Executive meeting of the American 

 Dahlia Society to be held in New 

 York early in March. 



Yours very truly. 

 THE NEW HAVEN COUNTY HORTI- 

 CULTURAL SOCIETY, 



Wm. J. R.\THCEBER. SeC. 



LANCASTER COUNTY, PA., FLOR- 

 ISTS' ASSOCIATION 



Rather a small number attended 

 the meeting on Thursday, Feb. 19th 

 in spite of the fact that the matter 

 of increasing the dues was up for 

 consideration. This was partly the 

 fault of the weather, as many of the 

 members of this Association are men 

 who attend their own fires and can- 

 not leave if the weather is severe. 

 The dues were left at the old rate 

 but all of the ladies who transferred 

 from the Ladies' Auxiliary are to pay 

 full membership dues and be entitled 

 to full membership privileges. We 

 are not going to be left behind in the 

 emancipation of women movement. 



The lecture of the evening was by 

 F. C. Bucher, farm expert for Lan- 

 caster County, and the subject soils. 

 Visitors were Mr. T. J. Nolan and a 

 representative from the Robert Craig 

 Co. 



W. Atlee Burpee e.xhibited a vase 

 of their new sweet peas in such fine 

 shape that there are no adjectives to 

 properly describe them. 



Albert M. Hebr. 



PARTICULAR AS TO VARIETY. 



"Have you no potted geraniums?" 



"No. We have some very nice 

 chrysanthemums." 



"I must have geraniums. They are 

 for my wife." 



"I'm sure she'd like these chrys- 

 anthemums." 



"You don't understand. The geran- 

 iums are to replace some I promised 

 to take care of while she was 

 away." — Stray Stories.
