club room, drew the largest attendance 

 in years. There can be no question but 

 that interest in the society has been 

 awakened by the coming of the S. A. F. 

 Everyone is taking a lively interest in all 

 that is going on, and all are willing and 

 anxious to lend their services wherever 

 they can be of assistance. The various 

 committees arc doing their work in a 

 thorough manner and are leaving no 

 stones unturned to have everything in 

 just the shape it should be in. This, to 

 say the least, is encouraging to the 

 officers of the society, and the peace and 

 harmony which are everywhere in evidence 

 cannot do otherwise than bring all the 

 work attempted to a satisfactory end. 

 Cities in the past have set a high stand- 

 ard in the entertainment afforded the 

 members of the national society when 

 gathered in convention. They have set 

 a standard for lavishness that it would 

 be a hard thing for the local society to 

 exceed. But lavishness is not everything. 

 Our aim is one of hospitality and good 

 will. It is to make every 'florist who 

 visits this city next August feel that we 

 not only wanted him to come, but that 

 we would have been disappointed if he 

 had not come. There will be no lack of 

 entertainment, either. And it is the aim 

 of all committees to have this of such a 

 novel nature that it will remain in the 

 memories of those who honored us with 

 their presence for many years. 



During the business session of the 

 meeting, reports were heard from the 

 various committees, and there was con- 

 siderable discussion on all points of in- 

 terest. The finance committee reported 

 several large subscriptions during the 

 past week. At about 10 p. m., E. G 

 Gillett escorted the executive board of 

 the S. A. F., which was in session in this 

 city, from the committee room at the 

 Hotel Sinton to the club room of the 

 society, and the business meeting was 

 immediately adjourned for a social ses- 

 sion. All the members of the executive 

 committee were called upon and made 

 short addresses. Addresses were made 

 by various members of the local society 

 including R. Witterstaetter. C. E. Critch- 

 ell, Albert Sunderbruch and E. G. Gillett

Varbut Notes. 



Fred Gear and Geo. E. Tromey. report 

 a large demand for the green carnation 

 dye this year. From this it would seem 

 that there would be more green carna- 

 tions than ever. Artificial green carna- 

 tions will be used a great deal also, but 

 they will not have much influence on the 

 demand for the natural product, 



A. M. Stearns, of the Lockland Lum- 

 ber Co., Lockland, 0., is in Spaniak 

 Honduras, where he is looking over « 

 large banana plantation in which he ia 

 interested. As this plantation is some 

 twelve miles square, they must be pro- 

 ducing some bananas. 



A couple of dozen seedling carnations 

 from W. E. Hall, Clyde, O., attracted a 

 great deal of attention at the club meet- 

 ing. It was on the order of Prosperity, 

 though much more heavily colored. It 

 has a large flower on a long stem and is 

 altogether a good thing. 



A, J. Horning, of Toledo, O,, has taken
