VASHINGTON. 



Qub Meetine. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 Washington Florists' Club took place 

 Tuesday evening, February 5, at Gude's 

 hall, 1214 F street. The meeting was of 

 unusual importance, embracing features 

 of much interest. 



A representative of Dingee & Conard 

 gave a lecture on "Rose Culture." Quite 

 a fine display of roses and new carna- 

 tions was on exhibition, A vase of 

 Golden Gate roses, grown by F. H. 

 Kramer, was awarded a first-class cul- 

 tural certificate. He also showed his 

 Queen Beatrice, not yet disseminated, 

 but which had previously been favorably 

 passed upon by the awards committee. 

 W. S. Clark showed his fine new seed- 

 ling rose, Columbia, though not in suf- 

 ficient quantity to be acted upon, and it 

 will be shown later. Among the new 

 carnations shown by F. E. Pierson were 

 vases of Winsor and White Enchantress, 

 both exhibited for the second time. H. 

 Weber & Sons Co., of Oakland, Md., 

 showed for the first time a new seedling 

 of Prosperity type, named Toreador, 

 which was awarded ninety-one points. 

 Mabelle, a pink seedling from the same 

 grower, was favorably passed upon. 



Nominations for the annual election of 

 officers resulted as follows: President, 

 Peter Bisset ; vice-president, Z. D. Blacki- 

 stone; secretary, Charles McCauley; 

 treasurer, William F. Gude and W. H. 

 Ernest; board of directors, G. C. Shaffer, 

 F. H. Kramer, W. S. Clark, E. C. May- 

 berry and John Eobertson. 



Much interest was manifested in the 

 meeting of the American Eose Society, to 

 be held here March 13 to 15. The 

 annual banquet will be given on the 

 evening of March 14, at The Arlington 

 hotel, to which members of the Eose 

 Society will be invited.
