The Only Objection. 



Eugene Dailledouze was on the pro- 

 gram to argue for a separate carnation 

 meeting, as at present. He said he thor- 

 oughly agreed with all Mr. Washburn had 

 said and that the only objection to join- 

 ing with the Rose Society lies in the fact 

 that March is the month for roses, while 

 late January or early February is the 

 time for the carnation men. 



Joseph Hill then j)resent('(l liis paper. 

 "The Calendar of the (arnation. " It 

 was one of the mo.st interesting the so- 

 ciety has listened to in some time, and is 

 printed in full elsewhere in this issue. 



Boston Next. 



When the selection of tlie next idace 

 of meeting was reached, there was a 

 lively fight between those who wanted the 

 society to join with the National Flower 

 Show at Boston in March of 1911 and 

 those who felt that the best interests of 

 the Carnation Society would be served by 

 a separate exhibition, as usual, at Mil- 

 waukee in Januarv. F. K. Pierson, W. A. 

 Manda, M. A. Patten. C. L. Wasliburn 

 and others spoke for Boston, while Nic 

 Zweifel and F. Burki championed the sej)- 

 arate meeting. W. P. Craig, H. B. Dor-
