MAY DAY 



"We desire to call the attention of tbe trade to our seedling carnation. May Day. W6 have been Rrowln? this variety at our place for the 

 past five seasons, and only witbin the last few days have we decided lo disseminate it. 



"It is a deep satin pink, indescribably bright, and holds its color admirably under all conditions. Stem is good, calyx all one could desire. 

 Its freedom is unexcelled by any variety, it being no unusual thing to be able to count from 20 to 25 flowering shoots on one plant at a time. 

 Its habit of growth is perfect. " 



"We have grown this variety in quantities for the past three years for its flowers and And tbe demand for it much greater among our 

 customers than for the well known variety Enchantress. We attribute this to its charming and exquisite shade of color and to its remarkable 

 keeping qualities." 



Prices, per 100, $12.00; per lOOO, $100.00; 2600, $06.00 per 1000; 6000, $90.00 per 1000. To be disseminated early in 1909. 

 We endorse Mr. Grave's description; the variety has a splendid habit, a good stem, strong calyx, and we know of nothing freer, while in 

 color it is unapproachable, that soft, brilliant lahade universally admired; besides this, it is one of the finest keepers we have ever handled. 

 Orders booked now, and filled in rotation. 

 Florists attending the Indianapolis meeting of the American Carnation Society are invited to stop at Richmond and see the varietr growing.

MINNEAPOLIS. 



Qub Meeting. 



The Minnesota State Florists' Associa- 

 tion met Tuesday evening, December 15, 

 the meeting being called to order by 

 President Wirth, in the new quarters on 

 Snelling avenue, St. Paul. A large num- 

 ber of the members were present, and a 

 very interesting meeting was held. 



Holm & Olson, of St. Paul, exhibited 

 some fine plants of cyclamens and Lor- 

 raine begonias; also their new begonia, 

 Gertrude, with foliage and flowers larger 

 than those of Lorraine. These plants 

 were among the finest ever seen in the 

 Twin Cities, and they received the appro- 

 bation of all the members. E. Nagel 

 showed some nice plants of Primula ob- 

 couica in 4i/^-inch pots, an excellent 

 strain. J. Jorgenson exhibited some fine 

 Enchantress and White Enchantress, with 

 good stems and large flowers. His Bea- 

 con. Bride and Bridesmaid roses were 

 well worthy of mention. Carl Haugen 

 showed some good violets, Marie Louise 

 and Princess of Wales. A. J. Smith 

 came in with some first-class poinsettias. 



J. Jorgenson read an interesting paper 

 on his impjessions of the national flower 

 show. 



J. Smith, head gardener to James 

 Bland, Quarry Bank, Allerton, England, 

 showed a photograph of a well grown 

 plant of Lilium auratum, from a single 

 bulb, bearing 225 flowers; height, nine 

 feet; over six feet through, grown in 

 1865. He also read an interesting paper 

 on the means he employed to grow the 

 plant. The members tendered a hearty 

 vote of thanks to Mr. Smith, and hoped 

 he would come again. 



President Wirth showed plans pre- 

 pared by Lord & Burnham Co. for a new 

 building at the State Fair grounds, and it 

 is the intention of the association to try 

 to use its influence to get the State Fair 

 committee to accept them. 



Everyone expressed himself satisfied 

 with the new hall, and more interest was 

 shown than for some time before. 



Visitors last week were J. A. Peterson, 

 of Cincinnati, O., and Charles Schwake, 

 representing C. F. Meyer, New York city.

Denver. Colo. — Van M. Zimmerman, 

 recently with the Geo. Wittbold Co., of 

 Chicago, is the new manager for the 

 Scott Floral Co. A young man of pleas- 

 ing personality and well versed in the 

 business, he cannot fail to meet with 

 success.
