 in the dissemination of a new variety, 

 one to speak from the standpoint of the 

 introducer and the other from that of

 provide a paper on the studies of carna- 

 tion soils made by the Department of 

 Agriculture, and Prof. Norton, for the 

 Breeders' Association, is to read a 

 paper, subject not yet announced.

 cided to drop classes B, C and F from 

 last year's schedule and to substitute a 

 class with $200 in premiums for exhibits 

 of fifty blooms of named commercial va- 

 rieties. 



Peter Bisset reported that the Wash- 

 ington Florists' Club is enthusiastic in 

 the matter of the convention and exhibi- 

 tion. The meeting will cover three days 

 this time, instead of two, as in the past, 

 and will close with a banquet.
