The State Society Meets. 



The Colorado Society of Floricultur- 

 ists held its annual meeting in the rooms 

 of the State Board of Horticulture in 

 the state house in Denver, March 24. 

 There was a large attendance and the 

 enthusiasm displayed showed that the 

 florists of the state are awakening to 

 the value of such meetings. The papers 

 read were: "The Propagation and Cul- 

 ture of Roses under Glass," by J. A. 

 Sked; "Colorado Soils," by Prof. Long- 

 year, of the State Experiment Station; 

 "Hardy Roses and their Usefulness for 

 Various Phases of Gardening," by John 

 Berry; "Dahlias: Past and Present," 

 by "W. W. Wilmore. 



The discussions following these papers 

 were very interesting, especially upon 

 the manner of caring for hardy roses in 

 winter, and the destruction of insect 

 pests. The discussion concerning grow- 

 ing Beauties a second year under glass 

 brought out the fact that Bernhard 

 Boldt had exceptional success in that 

 line the past season. A vase of Beau- 

 ties exhibited by Mr. Boldt grown from 

 these two-year-old plants was a very 

 fine let. 



There was a fine exhibit of carnations 

 and roses. The Colfax Avenue Floral 

 Co., N. A. Benson, Mrs. R. Mauff, E. E. 

 Peterson, Bernhard Boldt and The Park 

 Floral Co., all of Denver, and J. B. 

 Braidwood, of Colorado Springs, were 

 exhibitors. Two plants of Adiantum 

 cnneatum and O'Briani attracted uni- 

 versal attention. They were grown by 

 Robert Kurth, foreman for The Colfax 

 Avenue Floral Co., and were very hand- 

 some specimens. A vase of Carnation 

 Adonis staged by E. E. Peterson was 

 good enough to travel in any company. 



The newly elected officers are: Presi- 

 dent, J. A. Valentine, Denver; first 

 vice-president, Wm. Hy. Evans, Colo- 

 rado Springs; second vice-president, G. 

 Fleischer, Pueblo; treasurer, R. S. Ma- 

 han, Denver; secretary, N. A. Benson, 

 1352 South Sherman avenue, Denver. 



The by-laws were amended making 

 florists' employees eligible to member- 

 ship and changing the date of the an- 

 nual meeting to the second Tuesday in 

 February each year. 



Davenport, Ia. — The Otto Klingbiel 

 bankruptcy case is slowly approaching a 

 settlement. Labor claims have been al- 

 lowed save some which were older than 

 the three months' limitation in the bank- 

 ruptcy law.
