the debate the vice-president, who was 

 in the chair, was so stung by the taunts 

 of the opposition that he flew to the 

 assistance of his comrades, taking the 

 floor in person. C. E. Larzalere at once 

 arose to a point of parliamentary order, 

 telling the presiding officer with biting 

 satire that he could not address the 

 meeti w ||Kitir' he put someone else in 

 the chair. 'Mjr. Graeey listened pa- 

 tipntly, amid cries from his supporters 

 that the interrupting member "sit 

 down." Then, when he alone remained 

 standing, he went calmly on. 



William E. Simon, of Wilmington, 

 suddenly exclaimed with a look of in- 

 tense delight, "There's Alice!" It was 

 at first thought that Mrs, Sarah E. 

 Smith must have arrived with a bevy 

 of young ladies, but later it was found 

 that Mr. Simon had just caught sight 

 of Peter Fisher's beautiful carnation. 



In reply to a question about his new 

 pink rose on the exhibition taible, VictO*' 

 Groshens said it was a novelty of John 

 Cook's, of which he had a number of 



plants. Its future, Mr. Groshens said, 

 had not been determined. He added 

 that the flowers shown were second 

 growth, not pinched. The rose was a 

 rich pink, of good substance, size and 

 form, stout stems and good foliage. 



Charles E. Meehan asserted that if 

 there were no wholesalers there would 

 be no growers, by which he was under- 

 stood that without the wholesaler the 

 grower could not rise as a specialist. 



The Farmers' Institute. 



A farmers' institute for Philadelphia 

 county was held in Horticultural hall on 

 the afternoon and evening of March 5 

 and 6. David Rust presided. There was a 

 strong array of talent on the platform 

 and a dispiriting emptiness on the 

 benches. All manner of interesting 

 Subjects for farm, orchard and garden 

 were ably discussed by speakers of re- 

 nown. Chief among these, from * flo- 

 rists' standpoint, were Antoine Wint- 

 zer, vice-president of the Conard & 

 Jones Co., West Grove, who denied the 



right of any man to cast a shadow 

 over the luster of 5,988 varieties of roses- 

 by naming the best twelve, but who, 

 in the interest of thirsty students of 

 horticulture and to oblige the commit- 

 tee, did so under protest. George W, 

 Kerr, of W. Atlee Burpee & Co., Doyles- 

 town, spoke on sweet peas, a subject oh 

 which he is a past master. A meeting' 

 that brought out Mr. Wintzer on roses- 

 and Mr. Kerr on sweot peas is so note- 

 worthy that the hall should have been 

 packed, even without the excellent tal- 

 ent brought together by the commit- 

 tee of the Pennsylvania Horticulturar 

 Society and the Florists' Club.
