the president uufolded his plans for the 

 coming year, chief of which were in the 

 direction of securing desirable exhibits 

 for the monthly meetings, interesting 

 florists with a view to their becoming 

 members, and making the club both use- 

 ful and entertaining to all. While there 

 was a little sparring among the members 

 of the cabinet concerning precedence, 

 there was an evident desire on the part 

 of each member to do all in his power 

 to further the common interests and 

 support the president in his plans. The 

 vice-president was named as head of the 

 bureau of physical culture. 



Variotts Notes. 



The Leo Niessen Co. is receiving fine 

 shipments of Bichmond roses from sev- 

 eral of its specialists, that show that this 

 grand rose is rapidly coming into winter 

 form. The company has added gardenias 

 to its list; they will be handled regularly. 



Walter P. Stokes will give an informal 

 talk on forcing lily of the valley before 

 the Florists ' Club next Tuesday evening, 

 November 5. The quality of stock sent 

 in by Mr. Stokes from his Floracroft 

 greenhouses at Moorestown, N. J., is too 

 well known to require comment. 



William P. Craig* will distribute the 

 new hybrid tea rose, Mrs. Jardine, for 

 Robert Scott & Son. 



The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. has 

 added Vanda cserulea to its list of 

 orchids. Boxwood and leucothoe sprays 

 are other additions. Mignonette, too, is 

 now on the list. , . 



Last week I stated in this column that 

 Franklin Ely, of the Henry F. Michell 

 Co., is a son of the late Zebulon de 

 Forest Ely. This was an error. 



The chrysanthemum show of the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society will 

 be held November 12 to 15. Premium 

 lists may be secured by Addressing the 

 secretary, David Rust, Horticultural hall, 

 Broad and Locust streets, Philadelphia. 



Mrs. R. J. C. Walker has contributed 

 prizes amounting to over $300 to the 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 's 

 November show. 



W. E. McKissick is handling early 

 pompon chrysanthemums in quantity. 

 They find ready sale. 



E. A. Harvey, of Brandywine Summit, 

 Pa., was in the city October 25, Mr. 



Harvey, wlio lias been ill with typhoid 

 fever, is rapidly gaining strength. 



Edward Reid is shipping quantities of 

 Adiantum Croweanum, They are excep- 

 tionally fine. 



Alfred M. Campbell is handling a 

 beautiful English single chrysanthemum, 

 Ladysmith, pink-petaled, yellow center. 

 It is produced in sprays like a pompon 

 and is very graceful. 



Berger Bros, are receiving some of the 

 finest Appleton chrysanthemums seen this 

 season. Phil. 



EscANABA, Mich.— C. Peterson & Sons 

 will hold their second annual flower show 

 October 31 to November 4. C. Peterson, 

 who has been suffering for some months 

 from primrose poisoning, has now -almost 

 recovered from the disease. 



Pleasant Hill, Mo. — During the four 

 weeks that have elapsed since the explo- 

 ' sion of the boiler at Geo. M. Kellogg 's 

 greenhouses, the plant has been restored 

 to fair working condition. It required 

 1,000 boxes of glass to repair the sixty- 

 seven houses, all of which had been 

 damaged by falling fragments from the 

 boiler-room. In place of the five boil- 

 ers that were wrecked, two large and 

 two small boilers have now been put in 

 operation and are giving good service. 

 Two or three more boilers will be in- 

 stalled next month, and then the place 

 will be in readiness for the severest 

 winter. The repairs and extra expenses 

 have amounted to about $20,000.
