Club Meeting. 



There will be little or no excite- 

 ment attending the annual election of 

 officers of the Florists' Club of Wash- 

 ington at the March meeting, due to 

 the fact that there will be no contest 

 except for the office of vice-president. 

 As a result of the nominations made 

 at the February meeting, George H. 

 <jOoke will be president for the ensuing 

 twelve months; William F. Gude, treas- 

 urer; Elmer 0. Mayberry, secretary, 

 and Theodore Diedrich and Adolph 

 <Tude, trustees. For the position of 

 vice-president the names of O. A. C. 

 Oehmler and R. L. Jenkins have been 

 presented. William F. Gude addressed 

 the club on the subject of the William 

 R. Smith memorial. He made no definite 

 ■statements in this regard, but from the 

 trend of his remarks it would apjtear 



that he favored a building which would 

 be the home of the S. A. F. 



The names of H. Witt and J. Hamlin, 

 of Silver Hill, Md., the latter a fellow 

 of the Royal Horticultural Society of 

 England, were submitted for member- 

 ship and the applications turned over 

 to a committee of which Messrs. Die- 

 drich, Jenkins and Oehmler are the 

 members. A letter from George W. 

 Hess, acknowledging the receipt of a 

 congratulatory letter from ]^e club, was 

 read. A vase of Hadley roses was ex- 

 hibited by A. N. Pierson, Inc., of Crom- 

 well, Conn., and a certificate of merit 

 was awarded the growers. 



Various Notes. 



(Jeorge H. Cooke did all of the deco- 

 rating incident to the inauguration of 

 Governor Stuart, of Virginia, at Rich- 

 mond, last week. It required 300 Amer- 

 ican Beauty roses, 600 Killarney roses, 

 600 carnations, 75 bun<?hes of Adian- 

 tum Farleyense and about 7.5 garde- 



nias to complete the decorations. Mr. 

 Cooke will duplicate the work at a re- 

 ception to be given by Governor Stuart 

 February 20. 



Among the visitors last week was 

 William E. McKissick, formerly man- 

 ager of the local house of the S. S. 

 Pennock-Meehan Co., who is now man- 

 ager for the Leo Niessen Co., of Balti- 

 more. 



M. J. McCabe, of Good Hope, D. C, 

 is producing some good snapdragon 

 and is showing Victoria with spikes 

 approximating nine inches in length 

 and stems five feet long. His carna- 

 tion crop is also well worth mention- 

 ing. He expects soon to put in 15,000 

 plants and will offer the cut flowers to 

 the trade. Mr. McCabe has eighteen 

 houses at the present time, five being 

 given over to carnations, four to roses, 

 one to gardenias, two to Easter lilies, 

 and the others to miscellaneous flowers. 



The Du Pont Flower Shop was in- 

 corporated last Saturday by Elmer C.
