AmericaJi Carnation Society. 



A. F. J. Baur, of Indianapolis, secre- 

 tary of the American Carnation Society, 

 spoke on behalf of the coming conven- 

 tion and exhibition, January 25 and 26, 

 at Washington, D. C. Secretary Baur 

 expressed a desire to see Chicago carna- 

 tion growers take a greater interest in 

 the national organization and called 

 upon local growers to support the car- 

 nation society. He pointed out that the 

 New England growers are doing won- 

 derful work to promote the carnation. 

 There will be many new varieties shown 

 at the coming convention, he said. 



Paul Klingsporn, C. C. Pollworth and 

 A. T. Pyf er spoke in behalf of the west- 

 ern grower of carnations and pledged 

 support at the coming exhibition. 



Michael Barker, chairman of the 

 transportation committee, submitted a 

 report covering transportation in con- 

 nection with the carnation convention 

 and it was decided that the Chicago 

 Florists' Club and friends select the 

 Pennsylvania railroad for the trip to 



Washington. It was decided to use the 

 fast Pennsylvania train leaving Chicago 

 10:30 a. m. and arriving at Washington 

 9:28 a. m. the following morning. This 

 is a regular fare train, on which rates 

 are as follows: Railroad fare $30.97; 

 sleeping car, lower berth $8.91, upper 

 $7.13, compartment $25.11, drawing 

 room $32.40. The transportation com- 

 mittee will issue an announcement cov- 

 ering all details. 



Carnation Ball. 



After considerable discussion, it was 

 unanimously decided to hold a dancing 

 party and carnation ball about two 

 weeks after the installation of officers, 

 in January, 1921. This matter was 

 placed in the hands of the committee 

 which managed the "Say It with 

 Flowers" dance, held recently. 



President Waters called upon the 

 members to give a hearty vote of thanks 

 to the exhibitors, and it was unani- 

 mously decreed that this was one of the 

 handsomest and most interesting flower 

 shows held by the club during the pres- 

 ent year. 



Upon motion of Paul Klingsporn, it 

 was decided that the exhibit of cut 

 flowers be turned over to the hospital 

 and Secretary Lautenschlager and Mr. 

 Klingsporn were appointed a committee 

 to deliver the flowers immediately upon 

 the close of the meeting.

(Newly Elected President of the New York Florists' Olnb.) 



with an attendance of over 200. Presi- 

 dent A. M. Henshaw presided. 



It was election night, and balloting oc- 

 cupied considerable time, although,

 tary, John Young, reelected; treasurer,

 tions on the death of Past-president

 were, on motion, adopted. 



In response to the wish of President- 

 elect Roland, of the S. A. F., that the 

 club nominate the next state vice-presi- 

 dent of the society for eastern New 

 York, it was unanimously voted that

Committees. 



Clifford Lowther was appointed chair- 

 man of a transportation committee, with 

 power to appoint associates, to make 

 travel arrangements for all intending 

 to attend the convention of the Amer- 

 ican Carnation Society, at Washington, 

 D. C, January 26 and 27. During the 

 convention period it is understood that 

 there will be a meeting of the American 

 Flower Growers' Association, and it is 

 possible that the annual meeting of the 

 executive board of the S. A. F. will also 

 be held at that time. 



Peter Gerlaird, chairman of the 

 house and entertainment committee, an- 

 nounced that the night of the regular 

 meeting, January 10, would be ladies' 

 night. 



C. H. Totty, for the flower show com- 

 mittee, reported progress. There had 

 been a meeting of the committee that 

 afternoon, he said, at which the cut 

 flower schedule, prepared that morning 

 by the subcommittee on schedule, had 

 been adopted and ordered to be printed. 



A resolution was passed instructing 

 the secretary to send the necessary 

 qualification to the S. A. F. to make the 

 incoming president the club's represent- 

 ative on the society's executive board 

 during 1921. 



Allied Florists Make Progress. 



Business completed, the meeting was 

 turned over to the Allied Florists ' Asso- 

 ciation, which body included most of 

 the club's members. The chairmen of 

 the different sections of the associations 

 presented reports, all showing progress. 

 It was evident, however, that difficulty 

 was bein^ experienced in getting the 

 retailers into line, mainly because no
