2o0 which went out on Monday were 

 destined for Galveston, Tex. 



G. H. Pieser, secretary of the Kenni- 

 cott Bros. Co., is ill and his brother Sam 

 is oflSciating in his stead. 



E. C. Amling admits that the smilax 

 is not as long as it would be if left to 

 grow for another six weeks, but says 

 that if the buyers insist upon having it, 

 it will be cut. Most growers are com- 

 pletely out. 



0. P. Bassett and Mrs. Bassett re- 

 turned on Saturday morning from a two 

 months' trip to Florida. Bassett & 

 Washburn are just now getting the larg- 

 est cut of red roses in their history, 

 three houses of Liberty being especially 

 fine. 



The Chicago Eose Co. sold a car-load 

 of box trees last week. 



George Eeinberg planted 10,000 Beau- 

 ties last week. It is his intention to re- 

 duce the quantity of carnations grown 

 and to increase the list of roses. 



Miss Tonner, who has charge of the 

 supply department of the A. L. Randall 

 Co., is preparing for a six weeks' trip 

 to Europe in search of novelties. 



J. F. Klimmer, at Oak Park, is throw- 

 ing out his carnations to make room for 

 bedding plants. 



P. J. Foley has the sympathy of his 

 tnany friends in the loss of his daughter 

 Francisca, aged 5 years, who died 

 April 8.

 Scott, Kalamazoo, Mich.; George B. Wie- 

 Sand, Indianapolis; E. J. Mohr, Ra- 

 tine, Wis.; S. S. Skidelsky, Philadelphia.

The Market. 



Market conditions remain about the 

 same. Everyone is anticipating a ban- 

 ner Easter, providing the weather man 

 favors us. Aside from azaleas, all other 

 stock seems plentiful. Lily plants are 

 unusually short in the stalk. Violets are 

 very poor. 



Club Meeting. 



Those members who failed to attend 

 the last club meeting missed the banner 

 one of the season. The main feature 

 was an exhibition of carnations, includ- 

 ing recent introductions. Besides about 

 fifty vases of carnations, containing 

 from twenty-five to fifty blooms each, 

 the exhibits included about twenty-five 

 vases of roses, which were certainly a 

 credit to the growers, also snapdragons, 

 gladioli, callas, daffodils and a fine col- 

 lection of Easter plants. 



I shall not endeavor to enumerate 

 every exhibit, but will just run over such 

 as received special mention from the 

 judges, Frank Holznagle, August Taepke 

 and Philip Breitmeyer. 



Among the local exhibitors the largest 

 were Breitmeyer 's Sons. The carna- 

 tions shown included such varieties as 

 Cardinal, Richmond Gem, Flamingo, 

 Eclipse and all the standard kinds very 

 well grown. In roses they showed an 

 elegant vase of La Detroit, also some 

 very good Killarney, Liberty, Eichmond, 

 Chatenay and many others. 



Eobert Klagge, of Mt. Clemens, also 

 made a special effort. His collection, 

 besides many standard varieties of car- 

 nations, included some very fine seed- 



lings. 



Mr. Klagge, when asked his 

 opinion of Flamingo, said it was no 

 good, being too slow a producer, and all 

 the growers supported this statement. 



August II. Taepke had a fine collec- 

 tion of carnations. He also showed 

 some elegant plants, including Spiraea 

 Gladstone, hydrangeas, ramblers and two 

 fine Carl Enke azaleas. 



Thos. Brown exhibited a number of 

 carnations. A vase of Lady Bountiful 

 and Wliite Lawson received special men- 

 tion, being the best in sight, which was 

 saying a great deal. 



A. J. Stahelin was there with his 

 usual fine flowers, including an elegant 

 vase of Enchantress. 



I^ed Pantke sliowed a variety of 

 stock, including some fine peas, also 

 an unnamed seedling carnation. 



Andrew Ferguson displayed several 

 vases of fine roses, also some good bloom- 

 ing plants. 



B. Schroeter was on hand with a vase 

 of his rose pink Enchantress, which 

 spoke for itself. 



Among new varieties: 



F. R. Pierson sent Winsor and Varie- 

 gated Lawson, both eliciting very favor- 

 able comment. 



H. Weber & Sons Co. sent Jessica and 

 My Maryland. The blooms had fine 

 stems and calyx and My Maryland was 

 a very clear white. 



W. J. & M. S. Vesey sent a vase of 

 Glendale, a fine, large variegated. 



.T. D. Thompson sent Eobert Craig, 

 which received favorable mention. 



Henry Smith, of Grand Eapids, sent a 

 collection of blooming plants. 



Aug. S. Swanson sent a vase of Min- 

 nehaha roses. Despite the fact that
