UTICA, N. Y. 



A fine display of carnations and other 

 flowers and a dinner, followed by an ad- 

 dress by Barney Myers, of Lancaster, 

 marked the fifth annual show of the 

 Utica Florists' Club in Genesee hall on 

 the evening of December 2. The club 

 embraces in its membership the leading 

 florists of the city and vicinity and its 

 annual displays have always proved en- 

 tertaining and educational to all who 

 have attended them. The company pres- 

 ent December 2 comprised members and 

 their ladies and a few invited guests. 

 The early part of the evening was de- 

 voted to an inspection of the flowers ex- 

 hibited and after this came the dinner. 



The largest displays made were by 

 Brant Bros., of this city, and W. A. Row- 

 lands, of Whitesboro, and were princi- 

 pally of carnations. A large vase of ex- 

 quisite Killarney roses, which stood out 

 conspicuously among the carnations, at- 

 tracted much attention. A bunch of Gov. 

 Her rick violets displayed by J. B. Auld, 

 of New Hartford, and a vase of sweet 

 peas from W. A. Rowlands were other 

 special exhibits which contributed to 

 make the display as a whole an attractive 

 one. 



Among the varieties of carnations 

 .shown by Brant Bros, were the Enchant- 

 ress, White Perfection, "White Enchant- 

 ress, Beacon, Winsor, Harry Fenn, Ap- 

 ple Blossom and others. The collection 

 exhibited by W. A. Rowlands comprised 

 Pink Delight, Variegated Lawson, White 

 Lawson, Mrs. Lawson, Winsor, White 

 Perfection and Apple Blossom. L, F. 

 Goodwin, of Clark Mills, had on display 

 White Perfection, Apple Blossom, En- 

 chantress and others, and Kilbourn & 

 Williams, of Clinton, had Enchantress, 

 Queen, White Perfection and other car- 

 nations and a large fern. The compara- 

 tively small room in which the display 

 was made was filled with fragrance. 



The dinner was served about 9 o'clock 

 by Caterer Hauser. Bergner's orchestra 

 furnished music. The president of the 

 club, Frank J. Baker, performed the 

 duties of master of ceremonies and after 

 a few words about the organization and 

 its objects, introduced Mr. Myers, who is 

 superintendent of the greenhouses at 

 Lancaster, belonging to W. J. Palmer, of 

 Buffalo. Mr. Myers spoke on the culti- 

 vation of carnations, the construction of 

 greenhouses and other matters of interest 

 to florists. The florists and all present 

 listened to him with close attention. 



The committee in charge of the show 

 consisted of W. A. Rowlands, A. R. Wil- 

 cox and Robert Boyce. 



Shasta 



During October Shasta gave us 2 blooms per plant. During 

 the first 15 days of November we cut 2369 good blooms from the 

 same bed of 1800 plants. The cut is getting better every day. 



Growers who come to see it growing, marvel at its productive- 

 ness and fine quality of bloom. We would like to have you come 

 and see it too. Once you see it, you will want to grow it. 



Booking orders for it now at $12.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000
