NEV ENGLAND DAHLIA SCXHETY. 



The secretary of the New England 

 Dahlia Society reports that the member- 

 ship is constantly increasing and that 

 the society has now so well progressed 

 that the executive committee at the last 

 meeting decided to issue a monthly bul- 

 letin t^ginning with March, which shall 

 be called the Dahlia News. It will con- 

 tain each month at least one article by 

 some renowned grower of dahlias, on 

 their cultivation or their peculiarities. 

 It will also contain the dahlia news of 

 the world, inform the members what is 

 going on, give descriptions of the new 

 varieties that are introduced and, in gen- 

 eral, supply the information that the 

 dahlia growers are looking for. 



The last page of this paper is given 

 up to advertising and returns for the 

 same are expected to pay for the cost of 

 publishing. We feel that the society 

 will out-rival in membership any of the 

 others of the same nature in this coun- 

 try or Europe, as we expect a member- 

 ship of fully 1,000 by the end of the 

 year. We have now members residing 

 in every state in the Union and the in- 

 terest given to the dahlia at large is 

 surprising. 



The secretary of the New England 

 Dahlia Society would appreciate it if 

 the secretaries of the different horti- 

 cultural societies would inform him of 



the dates of their shows, where dahlias 

 are included, so the members may be 

 informed of it and exhibit wherever and 

 whenever possible. 



All growers of dahlias should join the 

 society at once in order to get the benefit 

 which a membership will give.

MOLINE, ILL. 



The Tri-City Florists' Club met Feb- 

 ruary 14 with William Knees, at his 

 new greenhouses. An enjoyable meet- 

 ing, both from a business standpoint and 

 socially, was held. F. W. Gardner, of 

 Ionia, Mich., representative of the Ionia 

 Pottery Co., was present. Mr. Knees' 

 new greenhouses, which have just been 

 completed and are now ready to be used 

 for early spring plants, were inspected. 

 The topic that came up for discussion at 

 the business session was ' * Hotbeds, and 

 the Best Plants to Eaise in Them." A 

 lengthy discussion of the subject took 

 place. 



Ed Patton, who has charge of the 

 greenhouses of Mrs. Waltmann in the 

 western part of the city, gave a fare- 

 well talk, intending to leave for Cali- 

 fornia March 1, taking up new work. 



The Tri-City Florists' Club is plan- 

 ning for a banquet, to be made an an- 

 nual affair. It will be held at the St. 

 James hotel, and will probably take 



place some time in March. The arrange- 

 ments are in the hands of a committee 

 consisting of Adolph Arp, of Davenport, 

 William Knees, of Moline, and Ludwig 

 Stapp, of Rock Island. A special meet- 

 ing will be held at Fejervary park, Feb- 

 ruary 28, and the report of the com- 

 mittee given. 



A luncheon and refreshments were 

 served by the host at the close of the 

 meeting. 



LOBELIA KATHLEEN MALLARD. 



A European correspondent writes: 

 "The American trade cannot do better 

 than take up the new double lobelia, 

 Kathleen Mallard. It is of the most in- 

 tense azure blue and makes one of the 

 most charming pot plants you can imag- 

 ine, being absolutely one mass of bloom 

 so as to completely cover all the foliage 

 and, with a scarcity of fine blue plants 

 suitable for pots, has proved one of the 

 very best selling in England in 1906. 

 Cuttings, struck in February in a warm 

 house, potted on when rooted, grown in 

 a temperature of 50 to 55 degrees and 

 plenty of air, result in beautiful, com- 

 pact little plants by May. It is just the 

 thing for small fancy vases for table 

 decoration and if kept pinched and 

 potted on into 5-inch pots by June and 

 July you will have something extra, and 

 a ready seller."
