CHRYSANTHENUN; 



THE List of Chrysanthemums we are offering for the seasoL of 

 1919 shows many changes from last season and these are. we 

 believe, a great benefit to us and no injury to our trade. We 

 have discarded many varieties and have kept only such as have 

 shown themselves really needed to maintain a balance of color 

 and season. This selection has eliminated many, for which we 

 may have calls during the planting season, but in the list presented 

 we have the superior of the discarded variety. Our aim is to grow in 

 quantity those varieties which we, ourselves, would grow for the 

 cut flower trade, regardless of the fact that we have limited the 

 list of offerings. There is no break in the Mum crop from the start 

 to the finish of the Mum season if planted from an intelligent 

 selection of varieties from this list, commercial cut flower pro- 

 duction governing this selection.

 tonias, schizanthus and ixias. There was 

 a heavy .sale of asparagus. 



Following Easter, there has naturally 

 been a considerable drop in prices, but 

 flowers continue to sell well. The Vic- 

 tory loan bond campaign is expected 

 to restrict buying somewhat for the 

 next few weeks, for which growers are 

 prepared. 



Club Meeting. 



There was an excellent attendance at 

 the Florists' Club's meeting April 15, 

 considering that the date came so near 



Easter. The principal attraction of the 

 evening was a stereopticon lecture on 

 "Community Improvement," by George 

 N. Smith, of Wellesley, Mass., who kept 

 his hearers well interested for over an 

 hour. Many of his remarks were of a 

 humorous nature. 



Three new members were elected. 

 Resolutions on the death of William J. 

 Stewart were presented by a committee 

 consisting of F. E. Palmer, Robert Cam- 

 eron and William Downs, and adopted 

 by a rising vote. It was unanimously 

 voted, after some discussion, to send 

 $50 to the Societe Nationale d 'Horti- 

 culture de France, to assist in the re- 

 habilitation of French horticulture, also 



to purchase $250 worth of the new Vic- 

 tory loan bonds. 



Charles Cooper showed a superbly 

 tlowered plant of Cattleya Thayeriana, 

 awarded a report of superior merit. R. 

 .1. Daly received a report of merit for

 peratrice de Russie. It was announced 

 that at the May meeting F. E. Palmer 

 would lecture on "Some Fundamentals 

 of Proper Accounting for Florists."
