ville florists last week and spent a most 

 enjoyable day. 



On an inspection trip we find the flo- 

 rists west of Grand avenue are making 

 attractive window displays of bulb stock. 

 Among them are Fred C. Weber, Town- 

 send Floral Co., Miss Newman, F. H. 

 Weber, Ellison Floral Co., and Kalisch. 

 They report a good sale on blooming 

 plants. 



Our local growers about town are busy 

 now preparing their Easter stock. The 

 prospects are good for plenty of lilies, 

 which they say are all looking well and 

 free from disease. Azaleas, too, will be 

 plentiful and fine. 



The second spring flower show of the 

 St. Louis Horticultural Society will open 

 March 10 and promises to be larger and 

 better than the first one last year. The 

 executive committee is hard at work com- 

 pleting all arrangements. 



The Florists' Club will hold its regu- 

 lar monthly meeting in the old meeting 



hall, March 12. The trustees will report 

 on the meeting hall and the annual rose 

 exhibition will be held at this meeting. 



W. Abrahamson, of E. H. Hunt's, Chi- 

 cago, was a visitor last week. J. J. B. 



UTICA, N. Y. 



Carnation Exhibition. 



The Utica Florists' Club held its sev- 

 enth annual carnation meeting 'February 

 28 and it was in every way a gratifying 

 success. The club has" a membership of 

 over sixty and the attendance was large. 

 There was a magnificent display of cut 

 flowers, mainly carnations, which were ex- 

 hibited in vases placed on long tables in 

 the center of the hall. 



The exhibits included a new cerise pink 

 of large size, called Splendor, which is 

 to be disseminated this year by Steven- 

 son Bros., Baltimore, Md, 



Victoria, from J. H. Gushing, Quid- 



nick, E. I., attracted much attention, as 

 did a vase of Neptune from Paul Thom- 

 son, of West Hartford, Conn. On the 

 same table was President Seelye, from 

 H. W. Field, Northampton, Mass., a large 

 vase of Beacon from Peter Fisher, of 

 Ellis, Mass., and one of Harvard, from 

 J. D, Cockcroft, of Northport, L. I. 



A vase of the new single violet, Bos- 

 ton, which will be sent out this year, also 

 stood on this table. The violets were 

 from William Sim, of Cliftondale, Mass. 



Another exhibit deserving of special 

 mention was a vase of Rhea Reid rose 

 from the E. G. Hill Co., Richmond, Ind. 



On another table was a fine hunch of 

 Sulphur Phoenix narcissus and two vases 

 of hyacinths shown by C. W. Bushinger, 

 of New Hartford. 



Dr. W. A. Rowlands had a large dis- 

 play of carnations. L. F. Goodwin, of 

 Clark Mills, showed White Perfection; 

 J. O. Graham, of Little Falls, showed 

 fine Enchantress and Rose-pink' Enchant-
