The Florists' Review

arid with this spirit the society should 

 gain in strength and usefulness. In 

 naming a committee of growers and one 

 of retailers, he called their attention to 

 the benefits resulting to them if they 

 would take measures to avoid large 

 overproduction, and establish a code of 

 business ethics. He said these were 

 matters which the society, as a body, 

 could not handle safely. In the future, 

 he said, it would be his aim to call 

 the meetings to order not later than 

 8:15 p. m., and finish the routine busi- 

 ness as soon as possible. The president 

 emphasized the fact that meetings must 

 be made interesting to hold up the at- 

 tendance, and urged the program com- 

 mittee to provide questions for informal 

 discussion or essays on subjects of in- 

 terest. 



Two new members were enrolled. 



The entertainment committee was 

 given charge of the entertainment of 

 the visiting florists en route to and 

 from the San Francisco convention. 



R. W. Gill, manager of the fall show 

 of the Northwest National Dahlia So- 

 ciety, stated that the show would be 

 open to exhibits of all seasonable flow- 

 ers from both professionals and ama- 

 teurs. Special attention will be given 

 to the exhibits of fall-blooming, out- 

 door roses. The show will be held about 

 the middle of September. 



The committee on exhibitions reported 

 that Vancouver, Wash., had applied to 

 Manager Dorsche, of the festival flo- 

 ral center, for an estimate on the cost 

 of this feature on a smaller scale. 



F. A. Van Kirk, who went to Seattle 

 with the Shrinersjffreported that the 

 fresh Portland roses sent over daily for 

 the parades made a big hit. 



The president's table was decorated 

 with a large bunch of early Comet as- 

 ters brought in by Mr. Fleishauer, the 

 aster specialist. This is a strain of 

 Crego, which, he says, is considerably 

 earlier than the original.

when necessary for the public health. 

 This took effect July 15, and florists, 

 who have advocated such action for a 

 long time, hope that it will be strictly 

 adhered to. 



The Mountain View Floral Co. has 

 extra help at work budding a large 

 quantity of rose stock. 



The store of the Tonseth Floral Co. 

 was entered by burglars on the night 

 of July 21. They took about $50 from 

 the safe. Signed checks and papers of 

 value were not touched. S. W. W. 



AMEBICAN CARNATION SOCIETY. 



The Department of Floriculture of 

 the University of Illinois is conduct- 

 ing experiments for the purpose of de- 

 termining the cause of, and a remedy 

 for, the disease of carnations known 

 as yellows. These experiments were 

 started last year and have advanced 

 far enough to promise definite results. 

 There is, perhaps, no work in which 

 the members of the A. C. S. should be 

 more vitally interested, on account of 

 the prevalence of this disease and the 

 damage it is doing the carnation indus- 

 try. 



In order to carry on these experi- 

 ments successfully and to arrive at defi- 

 nite conclusions, they require material 

 from all sections of the country and to 

 that end we ask that all members of 

 the A. C. S. forward to them a limited 

 number of each variety showing these 

 light spots (in the red and crimson 

 sorts the spots are dark purplish) in 

 the leaves. 



The names of those who supply this 

 material will not be made public, so 

 that no apprehension need be felt on 

 that score. 



The experimental benches will be 

 planted during the first two weeks in 

 August and these specimens should be 

 forwarded during thalt time. Label 

 each variety plainly. Address all pack- 

 ages to Department of Floriculture, 

 University of Illinois, Urbana, 111.
