The Weekly Florists' Review* 



Mabch 12, 1908. 



WASHINGTON. 



State of Trade. 



We are having fine spring weather, 

 not too much business and plenty of cut 

 stock of good quality, also plants in pots. 

 We should like to see the demand a little 

 more active. 



Club Meeting. 



The Florists' Club had a most inter- 

 esting and well attended meeting last 

 week. It was a double-header, the an- 

 nual election of officers and rose night. 



President P. Bisset made an address, 

 in which he reported on the club's ac- 

 tivities during his two years in ofl&ce. 

 ' ' Activities ' ' is just the right word, for 

 it has been two busy years. Officers 

 .were elected as follows: President, F. 

 H. Kramer; vice-president, John Robin- 

 son; secretary, Chas. McCauley; treas- 

 urer, Wm. F. Gude; directors, P. Bisset, 

 Chas. McCauley, Geo. Shaffer, Wm. F. 

 Gude, John Eobinson; awards committee, 

 Chas. McCauley, Geo. Fields, J. Eobinson, 

 J. W. Freeman, Geo. Cooke. 



The annual banquet will take place 

 April 7. 



F. H. Kramer staged a fine lot of his 

 Queen Beatrice rose. Peter Bisset 

 tiowed some of his seedlings. One he 

 had labeled G. B. has up to the present 

 scored eighty-seven points. Wm. P. Craig 

 showed a fine lot of Mrs. Jardine rose. 

 Robert Ross Jones, representing the 

 Morehead steam trap, gave an interesting 

 talk on steam heating. He also showed 

 a new electric light which interested all 

 present. 



The chairman of the bowlers announced 

 that the ladies have arranged to bowl 

 Thursday afternoon of each week. » 



E. J. Fancourt was in town with Wil- 

 liam Craig, of Philadelphia, this week.
