a grower, especially in bedding plants, 

 and has already built up a nice business, 

 which should encourage others to take up 

 some of the smaller towns surrounding 

 the Greater Pittsburg instead of aU 

 crowding around the city market. 



Mrs. E. A. Allen, of Blairsville, is 

 cutting some very good freesia. Paper 

 Whites and Lawson carnations, all of 

 which are taken up by the local trade. 



Geo. L. Huscroft is representing Hage-

 and the people know it. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Pittsburg and Allegheny Florists' 

 and (hardeners' Club met Tuesday even- 

 ing, February 6. After the regular busi- 

 ness had been disposed of, there being 

 no opposition for the various oflfices the 

 oflBcers for the ensuing year were de- 

 clared unanimously elected. Mr. Lang- 

 hans called the new president, John 

 Jones, to the chair. Mr. Jones thanked 

 the club for the honor conferred and said 

 some very complimentary things of the 

 oflBcers who had preceded him, also of 

 the club, which embraces 163 active mem- 

 bers. He gave the members to under- 

 stand that much would be expected of 

 them this year in the way of assistance, 

 as this is to be the best year of the 

 club. The president then called on 

 Charlie Crall to talk on the carnation 

 convention. Mr. Crall, in his remarks, 

 eomplimented the Boston florists on their 

 kind and thoughtful treatment of their 

 guests and on the excellent arrangements 

 for the exhibition and the splendid 

 show. He spoke also of the diflFerent 



varieties and of the methods of growing 

 stock in that section, and woimd up by 

 stating that he had received full compen- 

 sation for the time taken to make the 

 trip. 



Carnations, the subject for the even- 

 ing, was taken up. A vase of Glendale, 

 grown by Vesey & Co., of Fort Wayne, 

 Ind., was presented and created a good 

 impression. It was accepted as one of 

 the best of its class, but variegated stock 

 is not in demand in this market. 



Other exhibits were: 



Guttman & Weber, a vase of Victory, 

 which was accepted as one of the good 

 things with a good record. 



John Murchie, two seedlings grown by 

 the Pittsburg Rose and Carnation Co., 

 one of which was a very fine red, good 

 color, good flower and good stem. The 

 other, a pink one, had all of these quali- 

 ties, besides being a pink shade that is 

 not overdone. These seedlings were es- 

 pecially well received. 



John E. Haines, Bethlehem,* Pa., had 

 several good things, one of them. Im- 

 perial, variegated, stems three feet long 

 and very strong. WhUe this was con- 

 ceded to be good, it was passed as of no 

 use in this market, but his red John E. 

 Haines was so highly approved that a 

 committee of recommendation was ap- 

 pointed to express to Mr. Haines the ap- 

 proval of the club. Several of the mem- 

 bers spoke of increasing the orders 

 which they had already placed. 



The Pittsburg Cut Flower Co. ex- 

 hibited a cut from the Pittsburg Rose 

 and Carnation Co., containing a number 

 of each of the following: Helen God- 

 dard. Jubilee, Flamingo, Estello, Fred 

 Burki, Lady Bountiful and Enchantress, 



all of which were well done. Mr. Burki 

 gave a detailed history of them from the 

 cutting bench to the exhibition table, 

 which contained information worthy of 

 consideration. 



The Pittsburg Florists' Exchange 

 showed about ten vases, of as man^ va- 

 rieties, which were all good, including a 

 bunch of Nelson, grown by Wm. Swayne, 

 of Kennett Square, also a sport from 

 Lawson of Enchantress color. 



Blind Bros., a vase of Lawson and 

 several others. 



Mr. Hatch, gardener for D. M. Clem- 

 son, a vase of assorted carnations and 

 pot plants, grown in the heart of the 

 city. While the carnations would not 

 compare with some of the aristocrats on 

 exhibition, Mr. Randolph said a gardener 

 who could produce such stock under the 

 conditions, that is, in houses that occa- 

 sionally looked as if they were covered 

 with sheet iron, deserved great credit. 



John Wyland was very much in evi- 

 dence with his show of Fiancee, Fred 

 Burki, Bountiful and Eclipse, one of the 

 best commercial pinks shown. Uncle 

 John thinks very weU of Fred Burki as 

 a white; good-sized flowers and the best 

 stemmed white shown. 



During the evening the secretary read 

 the following report: Club membership 

 to February 6, 1906, 153 ; accessions dur- 

 ing year ending February 5, 1906, 18; 

 resignations, 3; deaths, 2. Up to date, 

 February 6, all bills are paid and $98.65 

 is in the treasury. 



After which was closed one of the 

 most interesting meetings ever held by 

 the club. One can hardly understand 

 how any grower can aflford to miss these 

 opportunities of meeting his friends and
