 Arcanum, and Mrs. C. ¥. Rhoades, of 

 Indianapolis. 



The funeral took place Monday morn- 

 ing, March 5, and was attended by a 

 number of H. H. Bitter 's associates on 

 the board of directors of the S. A. F., 

 who were gathered for their annual busi- 

 ness session. 



BUFFALO. 



Meeting and Exhibition. 



The meeting of the Florists' Club, 

 February 27, was largely attended and 

 very interesting, the carnation show 

 bringing the members from far and near. 

 It was the largest attendance in the 

 history of the club and every one was 

 jubilant. There was only one change 

 made in the election of officers and that 

 was for vice-president, consequently there 

 was no time lost in balloting. The offi- 

 cers for the next year are as follows: 

 President, L. H. Neubeck; vice-presi- 

 dent, H. Wise; secretary, Wm. J. 

 Peake; treasurer, Chas. H. Keitsch; 

 financial secretary, E. Brucker; trus- 

 tees, Wm. Scott, W. F. Kasting and 

 Prof. Cowell. 



The carnation show was a decided 

 success. The committee, Wm. Scott, W. 

 F. Kasting and Chas. H. Keitsch, had 

 done good work, as it eclipsed anything 

 the club ever attempted. 



Of new varieties staged by F. E. Pier- 

 son Co., Tarrytown, N. Y., Winsor scored 

 92 points; Helen Gould, 80. John E. 

 Haines, shown by J. E. Haines, Bethle- 

 hem, Pa., scored 89. My Maryland, 

 staged by Weber & Sons Co., Oakland, 

 Md., scored 88 ; Jessica, 92 points. Pink 

 Lawson, from Palmer & Son, Lancaster, 

 N. Y., scored 81 points. Gleudale, from 

 W. J. & M. S. Yesey, Fort Wayne, Ind., 

 scored 87 points. New sorts from Chi- 

 cago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., scored 

 as follows: J. A. Valentine, 84; Sky 

 Kocket, 86; Imperial, 88; Seedling No. 

 49, 84 points. 



Besides these new varieties there was a 

 large showing of well grown stock, as

 A large vase of assorted carnations, by 

 the Wm. Scott Co., Buffalo, which was 

 especially fine. They also showed very 

 elegant giant mignonette. A vase of 

 Gov. Wolcott, from C. T- Guenther, 

 Hamburg, N. Y., received special men- 

 tion. Mr. Vennemann, gardener to Geo. 

 Urban, Jr., showed a vase of thirty car- 

 nations, no two alike, also a handsome 

 selection of cyclamens, for which he re- 

 ceived great credit. A vase of Melody, 

 a light pink sport of Lawson, shown by 

 W. C. Hill Floral Co., Streator, 111., was 

 admired. A vase of a white seedling 

 from G. B. Hart, Rochester, received 

 favorable comment. 



A vase of the Wellesley rose, from 

 the Waban Conservatories, Natick, Mass., 



was especially fine, also a vase of Kate 

 Moulton roses, from the Minneapolis 

 Floral Co., was admired by all. Several 

 vases of sweet peas, from A. C. Zvolanek, 

 Bound Brook, N. J., were highly compli- 

 mented. 



Last but not least, the banquet in the 

 evening was a hummer. We all met at 

 the German American hall, 8 p. m., and 

 from then on to midnight feasted on the 

 best. There were toasts and speeches all 

 around and every one was happv.

Current Comment. 



The chief event last week was our club 

 exhibition of carnations on Tuesday. For 

 those who did not see the Boston show 

 it was a great treat. It is true we 

 missed several wonders that made such 

 a mark at Boston, but for those who 

 could not comply with our request we 

 will gladly ' ' take the will for the deed, ' ' 

 for we realize that for the last month
