PERRY FLORISTS' ASSOQATION. 



The Perry Florists' Association is an 

 organization of a number of florists 

 through Iowa and southern Minnesota, 

 which holds periodical meetings at the 

 establishments of its members. The 

 mid-winter meeting for this season was 

 held January 10, 11 and 12 at the green- 

 houses of W. S. Hall, at Oaage, la. As 

 has been the rule at the meetings of the 

 association, much of value in a business 

 way was learned, aside from the social 

 features of the three days' session. The 

 election of officers resulted as follows: 

 .President, A. N. Kinsman, Austin, 

 Minn.; secretary and treasurer, W. S. 

 Hall, Osage, la. 



There were a considerable number of 

 exhibits, the diBcuseion of which was a 

 most interesting feature of the meeting. 

 J. D. Thompson Carnation Co., JoHet, 

 111., sent twenty-five blooms of its new 

 red carnation, Robt, Craig, which were 

 very highly commended. The C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co., of Milwaukee, sent some very 

 fine Chatenay roses and good stevia. 



The next meeting will take place in 

 .July at the establishment of W. T. 

 Symonds, at Decorah, la. 



DENVER. 



Cut flower trade has been good since 

 holidays. Roses are rather scarce, with 

 a good supply of carnations and every- 

 thing used up pretty clean. 



The march of progress in improve- 

 ments the coming summer is cropping out 

 already and some of the growers are 

 laying plans for the construction of sev- 

 eral houses for the cultivation of Beau- 

 ties and other roses. 



The start made by an eastern man 

 here during the holidays in a flower store 

 results in failure. Inexperience in the 

 business and the lack of good help were 

 the causes. 



The prospect of one of our seed mer- 

 chants branching out into the floral de- 

 partment is good. He thinks the asso- 

 ciation of flowers will be more conge- 

 nial than parrots and goldflsh. 



Great Divide. 



We are much pleased with the Eeview 

 and wonld not be without It. — Whittakee 

 Bros., Cornwall, Ont. 



While we would all like to curtail ex- 

 penses, I believe it is no economy to try 

 to get along without the Review. — Geo. 

 D. Dudley, New Market, N. H.

Three of our Seedling Caroatioos 



BSATBXOE will perhaps not displace Enchantress, but It will pay you well to Krow it 

 for a more moderate priced bloom. It is not quite so larKe. but it is much freer and more 

 profitable. It is just what you want in large quantities for your every-day trade. Plenty 

 large enough and the color is beautiful, both under artiflcial as well as by daylight. Fine 

 form and a good keeper. Planted by August 1st comes into full crop September Ist, and 

 never lets up : no croppei . Long, strong fitems and does not burst. 



XVDIANA IKASKET is a fine all-the-year-roond white, and by far the most profitable 

 white we have today. 



7XiA1IBEAU is the best warm weather red, and hard to beat in winter, too. 

 All three won Certificates of Merit November 15. 1901, State Society of Indiana Florists.
