Ask any one who was at the Na- 

 tional Flower Show. We received 

 Certificates of Merit from the S, A. F. , 

 New York Florists' Club, and letter of 

 highest recommendation from the 

 Greater New York Florists' Association 

 of Brooklyn. Write for further in- 

 formation to 



Lord's Frost-proof Plant Box Co. 



920 Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, Plinn.

C. G. Bates gave an interesting talk 

 on the work of the Forestry Reserve, 

 and it is a fact much to be regretted 

 that there were not more present to 

 listen to him. 



Some one has said that the most they 

 did at the last meeting was to eat sand- 

 wiches and drink soda water. Enough 

 had been provided for the usual num- 

 ber (about forty), and the dozen who 

 were present had considerable difficulty 

 in seeing that nothing was wasted. 



There will be a card party and dance 

 Saturday evening, April 22, at T. M. A. 

 hall, 1743 Champa street, to which all 

 the members and their friends are in- 

 vited. An enjoyable time is assured. 



Various Notes. 



The first annual flower show of the 

 Elitch-Long Greenhouses was given on 

 the Sunday before Easter, the display 

 being arranged in the theater at 

 Elitch's Gardens, where the green- 

 houses are located. A universal invi- 

 tation had been given, both through the 

 newspapers and by mail, and the result- 

 ing attendance was most gratifying. 

 Some fine specimens were exhibited. 



At the opening of the W. C. Walter 

 store at Fifteenth and Cheyenne streets, 

 Saturday, April 8, 10,000 carnations 

 were given away. From the appearance 

 of the front of the store during the 

 noon hour, one might think they were 

 giving away gold bricks or silver dol- 

 lars, so eager was every man, woman 

 and child to get into line. 



It is rumored that the members of 

 the New York Floral Co. will retire 

 soon. M. Nicholas is desirous of spend- 

 ing a few years in California, but does 

 not wish to go until he has disposed of 

 his store. It is a money-making con- 

 cern, and there is little likelihood that 

 he will have any trouble in finding a 



buyer. , . , , 



Ben Boldt is credited with having had 

 some of the finest rambler roses that 

 have been seen, but they were sold long 

 before Easter, and several out-of-town 

 florists who arrived late were sadly dis- 

 appointed in not being able to buy any. 

 There is not a bale of sphagnum to be 

 had at wholesale in Denver. The Bar- 

 teldes Seed Co. is the only concern that 

 handles it in quantities; in fact, they 

 are the only ones who ship any into this 

 market, and they will not have any for 

 several days.
