The Modoc and Lantern are two 



forms of hanging baskets having 

 cups inside to hold water. These 

 two new, though odd designs are 

 very popular. 



The Papoose is intended to accommo- 

 date a potted plant, holding the pot 

 securely and allowing the placing of 

 flowers where they are most effective.

A. Ordonez, J. B, McArdle and David 

 McKenzie were elected to membership. 

 Of the new members of late, Mr. Meikle- 

 john was introduced to the club by H. A. 

 Bunyard and Mr. McArdle by Joseph 

 Fenrich. Both gentlemen expressed their 

 pride in the honor of election and their 

 willingness to serve the club to the best 

 of their ability. M. C. Ebel, H. C. Mer- 

 ritt, S. A. Leuba, George Scott, "William 

 Kessler and Sydney Wertheimer were 

 proposed for membership. 



Mr. Marshall read his proposed amend- 

 ments to the by-laws. The first one was 

 not accepted; on the second a long dis- 

 cussion resulted, participated in by Mr. 

 Marshall, C. H. Totty, Charles Lenker, 

 R. M. Schultz, Henry Weston, W. J. El- 

 liott, A. J. Guttman, Patrick O'Mara 

 and C. B. Weathered. Several amend- 

 ments and amendments to amendments 



were proposed. President-elect Pierson, 

 of the S. A. F., spoke against close cor- 

 porations and in favor of Patrick 

 O'Mara's suggestions. The experiences 

 of the last twenty years and the many 

 changes in the method of nominations 

 were cited, and finally Henry Weston's 

 amendment was agreed upon and assented 

 to by the others and carried by a large 

 majority, only six voting against it. The 

 new rule makes necessary the endorse- 

 ment by not less than seven members in 

 good standing for anyone nominated in 

 the open meeting in November, and the 

 acceptance of the nomination by' each 

 candidate before his name goes on the 

 oflScial printed ballot. C. B. Weathered 'e 

 motion to lay the matter on the table 

 was defeated. E. E. Berry and A. E. 

 Kennedy also took part in the discussion. 



The secretary read a letter from 

 George W. Sykes, requesting the accept- 

 ance of his resignation from the club, 

 because of his removal to Chicago, where 

 he is in charge of Lord Sc Burnham's 

 western oflSce. 



Eobert Berry read a resolution, get- 

 ting forth the poor pay given competent 

 gardeners in the city parks, as compared 

 with other labor, and suggesting that the 

 Florists' Club send a request to the city 

 to raise the wages from $75 to $90 a 

 month. The matter was referred to the 

 legislative committee with power to act. 



A committee to draw up resolutions on 

 the death of the sister of J. K. Allen 

 was appointed, consisting of Mr. Eick- 

 ards, A. J. Guttman and J. Austin Shaw, 

 and on the death of the son of J. B. 

 Nugent, Jr., F. H. Traendly, J. H. Pep 

 per and A. L. Miller. 



Harry A. Barnard, of London, Eng- 

 land, was present and made an interest- 

 ing address. He thinks America a land 

 of great possibilities for the florist, and 

 regretted he was not a younger man, that 

 he might come to this country and grow 

 up with it in its inevitable advancement. 

 Mr. Brown, of Virginia, was also a via- 

 itor and is a guest of John Donaldson, 

 of Elmhurst, L. I. 



The great flower show of November 3 

 is the club's next interesting feature.
