the Buflfalo Derby on Saturday last. We 

 are to be cursed, with the exception 

 of two days in July, with this seductive 

 sport away into September. How fortu- 

 nate that the Buffalo florists are a 

 steady going, conservative lot and horti- 

 culturally inclined in their recreations. 



W. S. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



The regular meeting of the Hartford 

 Florists' Club took place on Friday even- 

 ing, June 9, and there was a large at- 

 tendance. 



Mr. "Wirth, chairman of the committee 

 on window boxes, recently appointed by 

 President Huss, submitted a report 

 which appears in this issue. It shows 

 how thoroughly the committee performed 

 its task and they were awarded a unani- 

 mous vote of thanks. It was the sense of 

 the meeting that if a matter so impor- 

 tant were thoroughly taken up by the 

 florists' clubs and horticultural societies 

 of the country as a whole, a permanent 

 impetus would be given to this most im- 

 portant subject, window, porch and ve- 

 randa gardening would become an estab- 

 lished fact all over our broad land, and, 

 incidentally, the commercial man would 

 annually add many shekels to his bank 

 account. " 'Tis a great and good sub- 

 ject, gentlemen; push it along." 



Our club "poet," who has the happy 

 faculty of adding a dash of color to 

 every important club event, with a flash 

 of his own peculiar genius, was particu- 

 larly in evidence at this meeting. The 

 following effusion is his contribution to 

 the window box question and he hopes 

 it will have the effect of fixing a great 

 subject firmly in the public eye: 



O golden years, advance, advance! 



O years of regal work and thought, 

 Until the all-pervading window box 



To every Hartford home be brought. 



The "poet" carefully explained that 

 he did not wish to infer that Hartford 

 should go it alone in this matter but, 

 as the acknowledged gem of eastern 

 cities, she should be content to be the 

 leader in this great movement and sim- 

 ply show them the way. 



Secretary Euedlinger read an interest- 

 ing paper on "Insect Enemies and their 

 Antidotes which Interested our Fore- 

 fathers." The secretary is a recog- 

 nized authority on all fungi and insect 

 pests and he easily added to his reputa- 

 tion when he described in detail the vari- 

 ous brands of bug and their preventives, 

 which have been in vogue from 250 years 

 ago down to the present time. He re- 

 ceived a hearty vote of thanks and the 

 assurance of the meeting that his own 

 bug destructors were vastly superior to 

 the old formula;. 



Arrangements were made for the recep- 

 tion of the executive committee of the 

 American Eose Society which meets in 

 Hartford on June 19. 



On account of the impending vacation 

 season, the club adjourned as a body 

 until the first Friday in September.
