At a meeting of the representatives 

 of the Illinois State Florists' Associa- 

 tion, Illinois Outdoor Improvement As- 

 sociation, Illinois Truck Gardeners' As- 

 sociation, Illinois State Horticultural 

 Society and Lake Forest Horticultural 

 Society, with some of the faculty of the 

 University of Illinois, held at the 

 Beardsley hotel, a program was condi- 

 tionally made out for a joint session of 

 these organizations at the University 

 of Illinois. 



The date for this session is January 

 31 to February 7. On the morning of 

 February 8 will begin the annual meet- 

 ing of the Illinois State Horticultural 

 Society, to continue for three days, and 

 the annual meeting of the Illinois Flo- 

 rists' Association, to last for two days. 

 At the horticultural meeting there will 

 be an apple show, and at the florists' 

 meeting a flower show will attract at- 

 tention. 



The program of the joint session is to 

 include the names of many prominent 

 speakers, some of them being engaged 

 from Boston. The invitations are to be 

 sent to these men in a few days, and as 

 soon as their acceptances are received 

 the program will be made out. 



POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. 



Conrad C. Gindra finds excellent sale 

 for the single violet Princess of Wales. 

 He has fine stock. His carnations 

 look good. He has a batch of cuttings 

 already in the sand; nothing like an 

 early start. Beacon, Winsor and the 

 Enchantress family are leaders. He 

 now, as a rule, uses some substitute for 

 hydrocyanic acid gas on roses; the gas 

 almost caused a fatality to a new pa- 

 trolman who happened in one night 

 to warm up. Mr. Gindra had for- 

 gotten to lock the door. 



The Saltford Flower Shop is making 

 tip the first shipment of holly, which 

 is fairly well berried this year. The 

 firm reports excellent business and 'is 

 cutting fine roses. My Maryland is in 

 high favor with the college maids, ow- 

 ing to its beautiful color and fine 

 fragrance. Mr. Saltford, Sr., is having 

 trouble with an ear. Its condition 

 threatened to be serious at one time, 

 but it is now improving. M, 



Thompsonville, Conn. — The Brainard 

 Floral & Nursery Co. is completing, at 

 the Maple street plant, a new office 

 and salesroom for the cut flower, nur- 

 sery and seed departments.
