Qttb Meeting. 



The carnation meeting of the Florists' 

 Club, held Thursday afternoon, Febru- 

 ary 14, was one of the largest attended 

 in many months. The carnations were 

 numerous and many extra fine blooms 

 were exhibited by our local growers, as 

 well as outsiders. The exhibitors from 

 outside were H. Weber & Son, Oakland, 

 Md., a fine vase of Mabelle; F. R. Pier- 

 son, Tarrytown, N. Y., a large vase of 

 Winsor; Baur & Smith, Indianapolis, 

 Ind., a vase of their new light pink, 

 May; Chicago Carnation Co., Joliet, 111., 

 Aristocrat; John E. Haines, Bethlehem, 

 Pa., John E. Haines and Pink Imperial, 

 A. C. Brown, Springfield, 111., was pres- 

 ent and looked after his fine exhibition 

 of seedlings, which attracted a great deal 

 at attention. J. F. Ammann, Edwards- 

 ville, had Lady Bountiful, Enchantress, 

 Mrs. Patten and Lawson. Henry Johan, 



CoUinsville, 111., had two fine vases of 

 Enchantress and Cardinal.

 and Lady Bountiful. The Oakland

The meeting was called to order by 

 President Irish, with all the ofiicers and 

 sixty members present. Chairman F. A. 

 Weber, of the flower show committee, 

 made a lengthy report and ended by 

 saying that, owing to the divided opin- 

 ion on this proposition, the committee 

 advised the club to drop the subject of 

 a flower show, and the club so voted, 

 Pierre Schneider, of the Oakland Floral 

 Co., Kirkwood, and Henry Niemeyer, 



also of Kirkwood, were elected to mem- 

 bership. The club voted to subscribe 

 $100 to the National Flower Show to be 

 held in Chicago in 1908. J. F. Am- 

 mann, president of the Illinois State 

 Florists ' • Association, invited the mem- 

 bers to attend the second annual meet- 

 ing February 19 and 20, at Blooming- 

 ton, 111.
