should be addressed, calling for a meet- 

 ing to be held at some central point for 

 the purpose of hearing the views of the 

 interested parties. 



If the society is organized, Mr. Eich- 

 ling favors a yearly exhibition, at which 

 the members would be expected to com- 

 pete for prizes. Dealers in supplies sold 

 to florists and horticulturists would also 

 be invited to send samples. 



"Anything which means the advance- 

 ment of horticulture and floriculture in 

 the south will find me a constant and 

 persistent advocate." This was the way 

 Richard Eichling, manager of W. 

 Kehm's nursery expressed himself. 



C. E. Panter, the author of the move- 

 ment, set forth his views on the subject 

 in a forceful address at the banquet. 

 Charles Eble also advocated the move- 

 ment. He said it was time for the south- 

 ern florists to get together and know 

 each other better. He took a trip to 

 the north recently and met many promi- 

 nent men in his line who were much in- 

 terested in the developments of the 

 south. "We must help ourselves if we 

 want to succeed," said Mr. Eble. 



P. A. Chopin, president of the New 

 Orleans Horticultural Society, also thinks 

 well of the suggestion. He promised his 

 support should the movement be maug- ; 

 urated. Many other members expressed I 

 themselves in the same manner. ' 



ORANGE, N. J. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Jersey Floricultural Society was 

 held Friday, September 1. A paper by 

 Anthony I. Manda, gardener for Charles 

 Pratt, Brooklyn, upon "Ornamental 

 Foliage Stove Plants," furnished the 

 topic of the evening. The floral display 

 consisted of Cattleya Harrisonii, with 

 many blooms and great depth of color; 

 Zygopetalum Makayii, Cypripedium 

 Barri (a seedling raised and named by 

 William Barr, of Llewellyn Park), and 

 Oncidium Papilio, grown by Arthur Bod- 

 well; a vase of dahlias and two plates 

 of apples, Greenings and Early Alexan- 

 der, from Stewart Hartshorne, of Short 

 Hills, grown by Arthur Caparn; a vase 

 of phlox is from the estate of Sidney 

 and Austin Colgate, grown by William 

 Read; collections of flowers and vegeta- 

 bles from John Crosby Brown and I>)ug- 

 las Robinson, grown by Peter Duff and 

 John Gervin respectively; specimen 

 adiantum grown by A. Kindsgrab, and 

 Groff's hybrid gladioli from J. W. 

 Davis. 



November 6 and 7 were set for the fall 



show, schedules of which were distrib- 

 uted, and the exhibition committee was 

 empowered to secure a hall. 



The October meeting will have a spe- 

 cial dahlia exhibit. J. B. D. 



WASHINGTON. 



Special Qub Meeting. 



A special meeting of the Washington 

 Florists' Club, the first since the con- 

 vention of the Society of American Flo- 

 rists, was held August 26. President Wm. 

 F. Gude called the meeting to order, a 

 majority of the members being present. 



Preliminary reports from the chair- 

 men of various committees were made, 

 all tending to show that expenses for 

 entertaining were well within the appro- 

 priations. J. E. Freeman, of the finance 

 committee, gave evidence of net gains 

 upon advertisements in the souvenir book. 

 Geo. H. Cooke, superintendent of exhib- 

 its, had a favorable report to make on 

 the amounts accruing from space charges. 

 The treasurer, W. H. Ernest, who was 

 also the chairman of the bowling com- 

 mittee, Z. D. Blackistone, chairman of 

 shooting, and Wm. F. Gude, chairman 

 of reception, each had the same general 

 story to tell. 



Letters of congratulation from visitors 

 were read by the secretary, Peter Bisset. 

 The whole tone of the letters confirmed 

 the statement that the Washington flo- 

 rists had, in the matter of entertaining, 

 surpassed all previous meetings of the 

 national society. 



The hit of the evening was the speech 

 of E. C. Snyder, who presented the dia- 

 mond bowling medal to the champion 

 individual bowler, Charles L. Seybold, 

 of Baltimore, whose score was 513. By 

 some mistake the medal, which was made 

 in New York, was not ready on the last 

 night of the convention. L. B. Burdette 

 stated there is a movement on foot to 

 organize a local shooting team of Wash- 

 ington florists. 



Adjournment was to the establishment 

 of .J. R. Freeman, where, with all the ac- 

 companiments of a stag party — song, 

 speech, food and drink — felicitations of 

 success were exchanged. Stae. 



Business at present is beginning to 

 pick up a little. Quite a number of 

 people are returning from their vaca- 

 tions. Roses of all kinds are coming in 

 quite plentifully but prices are low. Good 

 tea roses bring from $2 to $4 per hun- 

 dred, Beauties from $1 to $3 per dozen, 

 but are a little scarce. La France and 



Pres. Carnot seem to be in favor. A 

 few good carnations are putting in their 

 appearance and prices range from 75 

 cents to $1.50 per hundred. Palms and 

 small ferns seem to move well. Those 

 in small sizes sell from 25 cents to $1. 



Convention matters have nearly all 

 been settled up and from all indications 

 the convention has been a success, both 

 socially and financially. 



Otto Bauer, who has been confined to 

 the hospital for a long time, is rapidly 

 recovering. 



Several of the overworked members of 

 the local club are off on their vacations.

TOLEDO, OHIO. 



Qub Doings. 



Our new Florists' Club is beginning 

 to live. We have eighteen paid-up mem- 

 bers and have a number more coming. 

 After the business part of our last 

 meeting we had a general discussion of 

 matters pertaining to the trade. 



George Bayer brought down a few 

 asters that originated with him. They 

 are very double and look similar to a 

 Pink Perfection chrysanthemum. Every- 

 body present thought that a field of 

 them would be a good thing to have. He 

 also brought a few roses, Maman Cochet, 

 White Cochet and Kaiserin. All of 

 them showed good culture. 



Our next meeting will be held at Lib- 

 erty hall on Wednesday, September 20, 

 at which time we hope that every mem- 

 ber will bring in a new one and thereby 

 double our present membership. 



Various Notes. 



In a trip around the city we noticed 

 some fine Begonia Gloire de Lorraine at 

 the Scottwood Greenhouses, of which T. 

 Magee can justly feel proud. His roses 

 and mums are also in good shape. 



At Armin Suder's, out at Manhattan, 

 we found the boys busy finishing up car- 

 nation planting. The earlier planted 

 houses are looking good and promise a 

 fine crop. 



The city will spend $12,000 on an ad- 

 dition to the conservatory at Walbridge 

 park, so as to have more room for large 

 i plants and also to provide winter quar- 

 I ters for the sea lions. The new building 

 will be 50x80 feet and fifty feet high, 

 ! TO be built of steel and glass and steam 

 heated. E. A. K. 



The Review will send the Pronouncing 

 Dictionary on receipt of 25c.
