 and adopted. 



Prof. Craig, of Ithaca, was the lecturer 

 of the evening and for nearly an hour 

 held the close attention of his audience. 

 He spoke of floriculture as a fine art and 

 said the Empire state leads the nation in 

 the finer things of floriculture, nursery 

 interests and vegetable growing, and in 

 fruit culture nearly so. In 1905 the Col- 

 lege of Agriculture was established at 

 Cornell. Previous to that the federal gov- 

 ernment established its experiment sta- 

 tion. The modesty of florists, he said, 

 was exemplified in their lack of expressed 

 requirements. He referred to the field 

 experiments being made at Cornell with 

 dahlias, asters and especially sweet peas 

 and peonies. The Peony Society tests 

 were started four years ago in coopera- 

 tion with Cornell and 1,600 varieties of 

 peonies majf now be found on the trial 

 grounds. A public report, he announced, 



will be complete and available in three 

 weeks, free to all applicants. He also 

 spoke of Cornell's work in cooperation 

 with the Sweet Pea Society and of the 

 600 varieties now growing there. This is 

 on the same line as the peony work and 

 before January a report will be available 

 for all. He then referred to the line of 

 work under glass, the influence of arti- 

 ficial light on growing plants, electric and 

 acetylene, in forcing bulbs, lilacs, etc., 

 the acetylene rays being similar to those 

 of the sun, with no question as to their 

 infiuence on growth. He told of the four 

 years of experiments in etherizing plants 

 and the methods of applying sulphuric 

 ether, its cost being ridiculously low. He 

 suggested the experimental stations as a 

 clearing house for the novelties of each 

 season. He also dwelt upon the question 

 of fertilizers, and spoke of the breeding 

 and improving of plants, the good things 

 that have come to us through chance, and 

 the practical methods of sterilizing green- 

 house soils, also the influence of electric 

 currents in the soil on plant growth, and 

 the control of insect pests by fumigating 

 methods. 



An interesting discussion followed the 

 lecture, participated in by Harry Turner, 

 C. H. Totty, Patrick O'Mara and others. 

 The Eochester convention was suggested 

 as the time and place to organize a move- 

 ment in behalf of government assistance 

 in experiment work. It was carried that 

 a copamittee of seven be appointed to 

 undertake the preliminary work to this 

 end. Prof. Craig suggested that an ad- 

 visory committee of five from the club be 

 appointed to cooperate with the Cornell 

 authorities., This suggestion was ably 

 Seconded by James Dean. 



Various Notes. 



The partnership of Ford Bros, has been 

 dissolved by mutual consent. The busi- 

 ness will be conducted at the new store, 

 121 West Twenty-eighth street, by M. C. 

 Ford, who has been in partnership with 

 his brothers for fifteen years and. in the 

 wholesale flower business for twenty 

 years. Mr. Ford enjoys the confidence 

 and esteem of all who know him and has 

 among his shippers many of the best 

 growers of cut flowers in this country. 

 The new store has been leased for a term 

 of years and, when completed, will be one 

 of the largest and most convenient in the 

 business. The Forster Mansfield Co. is 

 fitting up the store, and also those of 

 Walter Sheridan and the Growers' Cut 

 Flower Co. 



A. J, Guttman is president of a new 

 enterprise, the Best Oil Co., which manu- 

 factures a substitute for linseed oil, to 

 be used for painting, and is now ready 

 for business. Mr. Guttman devotes the 

 same energy and attention to his whole- 

 sale flower business as usual. 



Miss Smedley, bookkeeper for J. K. 

 Allen, has been ill a week from flower 

 poisoning, and Mr, Allen still nurses a 

 crop of boils. 



George Cotsonas & Co. have secured 

 the premises at 127 West Twenty -eighth 

 street, next door to George Saltf ord 's new 

 store, and will move there as soon as the 

 necessary improvements are completed. 

 They will have double the space of the 

 present store and will devote the upper 

 floor of the building to a florists' supply 

 department.

 supplies all the decorative work there, for
