S. A. Leuba, Wm. Kessler, Geo. Scott, 

 M. C. Ebel, H. A. Mahran and S. B. 

 Wertheimer were elected to membership 

 and Louis Reuter, Albert Demeusy and 

 Ed Persan were nominated. Messrs. 

 Ebel, McKenzie and Leuba, the new 

 members present, were introduced to the 

 club and each made an address of loy- 

 alty and appreciation of the honor. 



From the floor after recess a fusion 

 ticket was nominated, as follows: 

 President, R. M. Schultz; vice-president, 

 J. A. Manda; secretary, John Young; 

 treasurer, W. B. Rickards. 



W. Wells, of England, now a guest of 

 C. H. Totty, gave an interesting address, 

 tracing the history of the chrysanthemum 

 from its earliest days. He spoke grate- 

 fully of the welcome he has met every- 

 where since arriving in this country. 

 Now he feels he is no longer a stranger 

 in a strange land, but much at home. 

 He told of the varieties sent him by Mr. 

 Spalding, of Summit, in 1890, Ada Spald- 

 ing, Mrs. Alpheus Hardy, Col. Smith, 

 George W. Childs, Mrs. Adams, Mrs. 

 Jerome Jones, Tuxedo, Lincoln, Golden 

 Wedding, Western King, C. B. Whitnall 

 and many others, Childs, Whitnall, Lin- 

 coln and Tuxedo still being grown in 

 England successfully. He also referred 

 to the shipments made him in 1894 to 

 1903 and 1906 to 1909 of the Pockett 

 varieties and other popular kinds. He 

 said the English grow some kinds finely 

 that cannot be grown in America, and 

 that they have a finish of which this 

 country has no conception. He thinks 

 we have a rough and ready way of ex- 

 hibiting here, with size the apparent 

 object. 



James T. Scott, of Elmsford, spoke of 

 his acquaintance with Mr. Wells in Eng- 

 land and inquired, "What about Col. 

 Appletont" Mr. Wells replied that 

 neither Col. Appleton, Glenview nor 

 Golden Wedding could be successfully 



frown in England, and that Dr. Engue- 

 ard and Merza were only grown for 

 Christmas and January. 



F. R. Pierson gave an account of the 

 flower show last week in the Museum of 

 Natural History, calling it a great suc- 

 cess and thanking the club members for 

 their cooperation. Next season, he said, 

 we will have a show that New York will 

 be proud 6t and that will be commen- 

 surate with its greatness. He also re- 

 ferred to the rose show in the spring. 

 A general discussion of the New York 

 shows followed. H. A. Bunyard gave 

 reminiscences of the last show in Madi- 

 son Square Garden and the difficulty of 

 securing proper newspaper notices be- 

 cause of the fall elections. C. H. Totty 

 also spoke on the subject of press no- 

 tices and Patrick O'Mara said the news- 

 papers follow public opinion, and the 

 time will come when they will be forced 

 to take notice because of the large at- 

 tendance and enthusiasm of the public. 

 R. E. Berry and Harry Turner also spoke 

 on the subject, the president advocating 

 a large premium list as the strongest of 

 all incentives to insure attendance. 



Mr. Furst, from the West, a guest of 

 L. W. Kervan, also addressed the dub, 

 and incidentally mentioned Burbank and 

 his accomplishments, which of course 

 brought P. O'Mara to his feet again 

 with some interesting data as to Luther 

 Burbank and his records, magazine and

If you were one of the dealers 

 who delayed ordering the new 

 Christmas Novelty, don't put 

 it off any longer. The supply 

 is large, but orders are coming 

 in at a rate that will surely 

 exhaust it. The

has made the hit of the year. One dealer 

 writes:
