The Florists' Review 



13 



Thompson Carnation Co., of Joliet. This 

 firm also showed a vase of Carnation 

 Aviator, to whieh it has acquired the 

 rights and which it will disseminate in 

 1915-16. Aviator was highly commend- 

 ed by the judges. 



Prank B. Smith's Sons, of Danville, 

 showed two carnation seedlings, No. 2 

 and No. 108, both maroon. They also 

 exhibited a table of plants, including 

 valley, primulas, hydrangeas, spira-arf 

 and deutzias. The judges scored seed- 

 ling No. 108, 80 points and highly com- 

 mended the plant display. 



To further raise the hopes of the 

 florists of the section for a high-class 

 carnation show at . St. Louis next Jan- 

 uary, John Steidle, of Olivette, Mo., 

 showed what he could do by exhibiting 

 his seedling, Sunbeam, a light pink 

 variety of good color and substance, of 

 which he has high expectations. 



Chas. C. Walker, of Danville, brought 

 over some well grown white and pink 

 carnations. 



Several vases of Princess of Wales 

 violets and three vases of excellent 

 butterfly sweet peas were exhibited by 

 A. Washburn & Sons, of Bloomington. 



A vase of Carnation Morning Glow, 

 from Edward Winkler, of Wakefield, 

 Mass., showed up in excellent shape 

 after its long journey. The flowers 

 were of medium size, but the carna- 

 tion's exceptional keeping and shipping 

 qualities were evident. 



J. E. Yeats, the only local florist to 

 make an exhibit, had on display a 

 group of kentias, aucubas, carnations, 

 roses, azaleas and bulbous stock, and 

 two vases of his red rose, Mrs. Sarah 

 Yeats.

SECRETARY'S REPORT. 



[Tlic rejiort of J. F. .Vinmiiiiii. secietiuy of tin-

Your s(H-retary reports an increase of 

 annual members of only four at^d life 

 members two. This is the smallest ad- 

 dition to our ranks in anv otie year 

 since the organization. 



I regret to report the death during 

 the last year of W. L. Palinsky, of Chi- 

 cago. He was among the foremost of 

 our fellow workers, having ji.st last 

 year secured thirteen new members, 

 more than anv other ini'iniior ever 



turned in at any one time. We sin- 

 cerely sympathize with his bereaved 

 family. 



It IS also with deepest regret that I 

 report the death of Mrs. Chas. Lov- 

 eiidge, ot Peoria, the beloved wife of 

 (>ur worthy ex-president. She was a 

 regular attendant at our annual gather- 

 ings, always cheerful, and with a good 

 wortl for everyone. I am sure I voice 

 the sentiment of each and every mem- 

 ber of this society in extending to Mr. 

 Loveridge and his bereaved family our 

 deepest sympathy.

It in a great plecisurv- and benefit for 

 our society to meet here at the experi- 

 ment station, where we can see the re- 

 sult of the work being carried on by 

 tlie floriculture staff. 



With this spacious service building 

 and th',^ modern greenhouses attached, 

 we can certainly feel that the common- 

 wealth of our great state of Illinois has 

 become more interesteil in our vocation,
