THERE MUST BE A REASON FOR OUR LARGE 

 and steadily increasing shipping trade. We believe it is 

 because of the fact that buyers appreciate our ability to 

 supply the right kind of stock at the right time. As the old 

 saying goes : ** THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING IS IN 

 THE EATING/' and if you are not already with us, a 

 trial order is all that we need in order to furnish the 

 **proof.** ^ j^ j^ ^ ^ Write, telephone or telegraph.

E. F. WINTERSON CO., CHICAGO 



45, 47 AND 49 WABASH AVE. 



Club was held. Over sixty members were 

 present. It was chrysanthemum and car- 

 nation night and a magnincent exhibition 

 of new varieties was made, limited in 

 numbers, but as choice as any exhibit 

 ever made in the rooms of the society. 

 Three immense vases of the new pink 

 sport of W. H. Chadwick, named W. S. 

 Allen, were exhibited by A. N. Pierson, 

 of Cromwell, Conn. The carnation dis- 

 play was bevond criticism. John N. May 

 displayed Phyllis, Weber & Sons, of Oak- 

 land, Md., My Maryland; Guttnian & 

 Weber, Victory, and C. W. Ward four 

 fine sorts, Robert Craig, Judge Hinsdale, 

 Ethel Ward and Lieutenant Peary, every 

 one of them a gem in its class. 



The resolutions on the death of the 

 very Rev. Dean Hole were read with 

 much feeling by Alex Wallace and & ris- 

 ing vote of acceptance demonstrated the 

 respect of the club for his memory. John 

 Birnie read the resolutions on the tieath 

 of John Reickert and Charles Weathered 

 those on the death of J. B. Hyatt, both 

 reports being received and copies or- 

 <lcred sent to the bereaved families. 



The nominating committee reported 

 the following names: For president, 

 i: . H. Traendly and John Birnie; vice- 

 president, S. S. Butterfield and J. Austin 

 Shaw; for secretary, John Young and 

 A H. Langjahr; for treasurer, Charles 

 Weathered and William Elliott; for 

 trustees, Walter Sheridan, John Scott, 

 John I. Raynor, L. B. Craw, John Nash, 

 John Reimels and A. 8. Burns. The five 

 new members proposed at the last meet- 

 ing of the club were duly elected and 

 Jas. Taylor, of Southport, was proposed. 



Patrick O'Mara addressed the club in 

 behalf of Prof. Johnson, who is a candi- 

 date for the place of assistant secretary 



of agriculture. Strong resolutions were 

 adopted endorsing Prof. Johnson. C. 

 W. Ward endorsed the resolutions heart- 

 ily and announced he had for some 

 months given Prof. Johnson his best ef- 

 forts. 



The committee on awards reported on 

 each and announced its intention of vis- 

 iting the Cottage Gardens to inspect the 

 new white, Ethel Ward, and Guttman & 

 Weber's, at Lynbrook, to see Victory 

 growing and John N. May's to inspect 

 Phyllis. Each exhibitor was given an op- 

 portunity to tell of the habit and ether 

 merits of his variety and each invited 

 members of the club to visit them and 

 see the stock growing. Mr. W^allace sug- 

 gested the appointment of a day on 

 which the club members collectively 

 should visit the headquarters of the new 

 carnations and the officers of the club 

 were appointed a committee to make the 

 necessary arrangements. 



The second Monday in December will 

 be florists' supply night and it will be 

 made as interesting as possible, being 

 the last club meeting in its most success- 

 ful year. 



Various Notes. 



John Young is receiving a fine supply 

 of those grand new carnations from the 

 Cottage Gardens, samples of which were 

 on view at the club meeting. 



John Scott's new fern seems to be in 

 every retail establishment in New York 

 City. Its commercial value is being 

 demonstrated everywhere. 



Elliott's big auction comes to-morrow 

 and Cleary's Horticultural Hall will have 

 in'mediately its great sale of hardy roses. 



Kretchmar Bros., formerly of Flat- 

 bush, and for some years resting on their 

 oars, are again back in their favorite 



work of carnation growing at the old 

 stand in West Nyack, N. Y. 



President Amoe, of the Cut I'ower 

 Exchange, Coogan building, has been 

 forced to use "the big stick" mornings 

 lately, enforcing the rule that no bas- 

 kets are to be opened before 6 a. m. He 

 believes rules are made to be obeyed. 



Aug. Schroeder, of Elmhurst, L. I., 

 was robbed of all his best mums last 

 week, the thieves doing a great deal of 

 damage to other stock. 



Bobbink & Atkins are finding it diffi- 

 cult to keep ahead of the orders for their 

 plant tubs. They are hand-made, of oak 

 or cypress and a large force is constant- 

 ly employed in their manufacture. 



Bowling. 



The club enjoyed its first afternoon 

 practice last Monday. Next Monday night 

 at 8 o'clock the match between the Flat- 

 bush and New York begins. A good deal 

 of interest is being taken in this con- 

 test and a record crowd is expected. The 

 new alleys on the first floor of the Puri- 

 tan Cafe, on Thirtieth street, near Eighth 

 avenue, will be used on this occasion. 

 Monday's scores were:
