The Wm. Murphy Co., Cincinnati, o. 



change to Monday afternoon does not 

 appeal to some of the members. 



The annual treasurer's report showed 

 a gain of over $4,000 in hall rentals for 

 the last year, but heavy expenditures 

 in connection with the tropical fern 

 show and chrysanthemum show left a 

 considerable deficit for the year's work. 

 Thomas Allen stated for the commit- 

 tee on arrangements that more than 

 22,000 persons visited the great native 

 orchid show last spring. More than 

 5,000 visited both the dahlia and gladi- 

 olus shows. A slightly smaller number 

 visited the iris show and about 3,500, 

 the summer rose show, sweet pea show 

 and peony show, respectively. It was 

 interesting to note that few other ex- 

 hibitions proved more popular than the 

 peony show. 



It was announced that $6,000 would 

 be offered in prizes at the coming spring 

 exhibition, when bulbs and bulb gar- 

 dens would be made specialties, and only 

 $2,000 for all remaining exhibitions of 

 the year. The reports of the various 

 committees were read and accepted. 



On the stage of the lecture hall, Don- 

 ald McKenzie, head gardener for E. B. 

 Dane, showed twelve superb specimens 

 of Cypripedium insigne Sandera?, carry- 

 ing twelve to twenty flowers each, the 

 finest lot ever shown here, also a collec- 

 tion of other rare and beautiful hybrids, 

 including a number of his own raising. 

 George P. Stewart, head gardener for 

 Arthur T. Lyman, showed a large, wi'll 

 flowered specimen of Acacia Baileyana 

 and another of Chorizeina cordatuni 

 splendens. Each of these should prove 

 useful commercial pot plants. 

 Various Notes. 

 January 24 will be the installation and 

 ladies' night of the Gardeners' and Fld- 

 rists' Club. A record attendance is an- 

 ticipated. Th© executive committee has 

 decided to hold carnation night Febru- 

 ary 23 and the annual banquet February 

 28. The number of tickets for the lattir 

 event will l)o limited to 325. 



T^nless all signs fail, Boston and vi- 

 cinity will send a record representation 

 to the Hartford carnation convention 

 .January 25. In addition to members of 

 tlie trade, a considerable number of pri- 

 vate growers are planning to attend. 

 If climatic conditions are favoral)le. a 

 number plan to make the trip over the 

 road. Usually the carnation convention 

 brings a cold wave or snow storm, liow- 

 ever, and steam car transportation may 

 be safer and more comfortable. 



At present, while flowers are high in 

 price and comparatively scarce, it is 

 noted that retailers are making consid-
