The Weekly Florists' Review* 



August 15, 1Q07. 



WASHINGTON. 



The Club MeeUne. 



There was a good attendance at the 

 club meeting Thursday evening, August 

 1. It was gladiolus night and a sort of 

 love feast. The members present ex- 

 pressed themselves freely and could not 

 say enough for the outing committee. 

 The outing was just the thing at the 

 right time and ha* done more than any- 

 one ever dreamed of to bring the boys 

 together. The committee received a ris- 

 ing vote of thanks from the club. George 

 Schaffer, chairman, was tendered a per- 

 sonal vote of thanks for beautiful and 

 tasteful decorations on the trains, he hav- 

 ing done this of his own kccord and as 

 a surprise to the boys. 



The schedule committee for the chrys- 

 anthemum show made a report, the pres- 

 ent schedule naming 134 classes. The 

 show will be held November 12 to 14. 

 An entrance fee of $3 will be charged all 

 exhibitors, not members of the club, who 

 compete for prizes; those not for com- 

 petition will be free. The admission fee 

 will be 25 cents, all profits to be turned 

 over to the Associated Charities. Mon- 

 day will be chrysanthemum day, Tuesday 

 rose day, and Wednesday carnation day. 

 Mantel and table decorations will consti- 

 tute one exhibit. The judges for tables 

 and mantels will be some of Washing- 

 ton's society ladies. The report was re- 

 ferred back to the committee, George 

 Cooke, F. H. Kramer and George Fields, 

 and the committee was increased to six 

 by adding George Schaflfer, Charles Mc- 

 Cauley and William F. Gude. The com- 

 mittee has full power to act, and assures 

 us that the show will be the finest ever 

 held in the capital. 



Mr. Summers thanked the club for the 

 certificate given him for his new yellow 

 ♦laisy. 



The gladiolus exhibition was fine. Ar- 

 thur Cowee, of Meadowvale Farm, Ber- 

 lin, N. Y., showed a great many choice 

 blooms, not named. F. H. Kramer had 

 a fine showing of mixed varieties. J. 

 Lewis Childs, of Floral Park, N. Y., 

 showed a fine lot, all named. 



The S. A. F. Gmvention. 

 W. H. Ernest, vice-president of the 

 S. A. F. for the district, has called a 

 meeting for Thursday, August 15, at 

 7:30 p. m., at 1214 F street, for all who 

 are going to the convention. A large 

 delegation will go from here and every 

 florist who anticipates going to Philadel- 

 .phia should attend this meeting. Mr. 

 Ernest will make arrangements with the 

 railroad company and have a special car. 



Various Notes.

 partment of Agriculture to Pierce, Tex.,

BeginnlDg with the first year, 1895, with an importation of 100, this Spring, 1907. our importation 

 has swollen to the enormous quantity of 6000 of the 8 best known ARAUCARIAS, Excels^, 

 Uomuacta Kobusta and Glaaca. Our Araucailas are fco well introduced that they represent every 

 city, county and state of America, from the Atlantic to the Pacific and as far as Cuba and Mexico.

 production to such an extent that it not only benefits us but so that it will yield a fair profit into the 

 pockets of the buyers.
