Mention The Review when yon write. 



On Sunday the price fell to $2.50 per 

 thousand. 



Eoscs are in good demand and the 

 stock is limited in all grades. Carna- 

 tions are of good quality and the sup- 

 ply is good, especially in white and En- 

 chantress colors. All kinds of fine bulb- 

 ous stock are to be had in quantity and 

 at reasonable prices. Tulips are fine, 

 as are also valley and Paper Whites. 

 Smilax, asparagus and ferns have excel- 

 lent call. Galax, too, sells well, 



Qub Meeting. 



The carnation meeting held by the 

 local club Thursday afternoon, February 

 13, was voted a great success. The at- 

 tendance was large, forty members 

 being present and ten visitors. The ex- 

 hibition was large and much of it was 

 made up by our local growers. Favora- 

 ble comments were heard on all sides, as 

 to the excellence of the vases shown. 



Those who showed blooms, and the va- 

 rieties exhibited, were as follows: 



The Chloapo Carnation Co.. Jollet. 111., vase 

 of Its new scarlet, Andrew Carnegie. 



Richard Wltterstaetter, Cincinnati, ().. vase 

 of Afterglow. 



Stevenson Bros., Oovanstown, Baltimore. M<1.. 

 their new pink. Splendor.

 chantress, Enchantress, Mrs. T. W, Lawson

J. V. Amniann, Edwardsvllle, vase of mixed 

 varieties. 



.r<>hn Steldle. of Central, two vases of mixed 

 varieties. 



After the regular business was dis- 

 posed of, the pottery committee reported 

 progress and was given until the May 

 meeting, in order to complete the $10,000 

 subscription fund. 



The trustees reported that the club 

 had to vacate its present quarters, as 

 alterations in the building will do away 

 with the meeting hall. They were in- 

 structed to report on new meeting rooms 

 at the March meeting. 



A communication from the local Horti- 

 cultural Society, asking the club mem- 

 bers to assist in making its spring show 

 a success, was read. This communica- 

 tion was referred to the trustees, to be 

 acted on as they see fit. 



J. F. Ammann, of Edwardsvllle, ad- 

 dressed the meeting in the interest of 

 the Illinois State Florists' Association 

 and invited all to attend its meeting. A 

 list of thirty local florists who would at- 

 tend was handed him. 



It was decided to hold our annual rose 

 meeting March 12. The secretary and 

 the trustees were instructed to prepare 

 for the exhibition at once. Growers of 

 new roses will be asked to send their va- 

 rieties for exhibition. 



The chair appointed Messrs. Fillmore, 

 Ude and Bentzen to act as judges on the 

 exhibition. Their report was as follows: 



Rose-pink Encliantress, J. W. Dunford. first; 

 E. W. Guy. second. 



White carnation, .T. W. Dunford. first, with 

 White Perfection; P. Schneider, second, with 

 Bountiful; E. G^iy, third, with Bountiful. 



Best red. J. W. Pllcher. first, with Beacon. 



Aristocrat. .1. W. Dunford, first; Henry Jo- 

 hann, second. 



Lawson, P. Schneider, first. 



Enchantress. J. W. Dunford. first; P. Schnei- 

 der, second; C. Beyer, third. 



Mixed vase. ,T. F. Aramann, first; .Tohn Steldle, 

 second and third. 



Afterglow, by R. Wltterstaetter, received the 

 club's certificate of merit. 



Splendor, by Stevenson Bros, ; A. Carnegie, by 

 Chicago Carnation Co., and Seedling No, 20, by 

 St. Clair Floral Co., received honorable men- 

 tion. 



The question box brought out a good 

 discussion on carnations. After adjourn- 

 ment all present were invited to a fine 

 lunch. At the rose meeting in March 

 this will be repeated. 



Various Notes. 



Wm. Adels, for many years with Mrs. 

 M. M. Ayers, died February 11, at the 

 residence of his mother, at the age of 35 

 years, after a short illness. Mr. Adels 

 was well known in the trade here. He 

 leaves a wife and young son. The fu- 

 neral took place February 13, from his 

 mother's residence. Quite a few in the 

 trade attended the funeral and extended 

 their sympathy to the bereaved family. 



Congratulations were extended last 

 week to Harry Young, who will now be 

 known as Grandpa Harry. His many 

 friends in the trade will be glad to learn 

 the news. 



At the last meeting of the Florists' 

 Club two of the oldest florists in the city 

 attended. They were Carew Sanders, 

 aged 80, and Francis Fillmore, aged 83. 

 Both were congratulated on their healthy 

 appearance. 



C. C. Sanders was at the last meeting 

 of the executive committee of the St. 

 Louis Horticultural Society and was 

 elected chairman of the committee. He 

 reports that the hall for the spring flower 

 show had not as yet been selected, but 

 that the chances are that the show will 

 be hold in the same hall as last year, the 

 Masonic temple on Grand avenue. 



John Steidle, at Central, was in hard 

 luck recently. His large smokestack
