 and "W. E. Maynard, New York city; 

 W. J. Stewart, Boston; M. C. Ebel,

 executive committee, was approved, 

 the following being selected to act as 

 trustees for the ensuing year: Wm. 

 Kleinheinz, Thos. W. Logan, M. C. Ebel, 

 Jno. Tyson and W,. E. Tricker. 



A committee on by-laws was appointed 

 by President Logan to make necessary 

 amendments to the present by-laws to 

 conform with the new conditions under 

 the charter and report at the next an- 

 nual meeting. A special meeting of this 

 committee has been called for July 17 

 at Horticultural hall, Philadelphia. 



M, C. Ebel extended an invitation to 

 the association, on behalf of President 

 Cowling, of the Morris County Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Society, to participate 

 with this society at its annual flower 

 show, to be held in Madison, October 

 26 and 27. He also suggested that tbe 

 association hold its convention in Madi- 

 son on that date, and this was favora- 

 bly acted upon by the executive com- 

 mittee. 



The guests were entertained at dinner 

 at the Madison House by Mr. Ebel, after 

 which the company enjoyed a carriage 

 drive to the magnificent Twombley and 

 James estates and to the Florham Farms 

 greenhouse plant of Chas. H. Totty. At 

 the latter place, in the absence of Mr. 

 Totty, who is enjoying an outing at 

 Canandaigua, N. Y., "Wm. Tricker, the 

 superintendent, showed the visitors over 

 the extensive plant. At the Twombley 

 estate John Tyson, the superintendent, 

 led the party over many portions of the 

 2,000-acre tract, including the immense 

 greenhouses and the sunken gardens. 

 Another cordial reception awaited them 

 at the James estate, where Wm. Duck- 

 ham presides and where the artistic gar- 

 den effects and the perfection of every- 

 thing under his care are widely famous. 

 The party was entertained by Mr. and 

 Mrs. Duckham at their home. The 

 visitors also investigated the labora- 

 tories of the Aphine Mfg. Co.

Redlands, Cal. — Sidney Hockridge, 

 of the City Nurseries, reports an ex- 

 cellent season in carnations, with an 

 unusually large percentage of perfect 

 blooms. Though the output was much 

 larger than last year, yet the demand 

 was equal to the supply.

Freesia 



From Original Stock --Greenhouse-grown 



|nLL those who grew our Greenhouse- 

 faj grown Purity Freesia last year have 

 given it highest praise and have in many 

 cases increased their orders this year, 

 thereby giving their unqualified endorse- 

 ment to its merit. 



Our bulbs have been grown by a Freesia 

 Specialist, under glass, in a temperature 

 of 45° to 50°, especially for us under con- 

 tract, and are well-matured, fine, plump 

 bulbs. This method of growing ensures 

 stock being absolutely true.
