Club Meeting. 



At the June meeting of the Phila- 

 delphia Florists' Club, S. S. Skidelsky 

 read a characteristic paper that held 

 the close attention of a good audience. 



Arrangements were made for the 

 club's picnic, to be held June 19. 



A committee was appointed to ask 

 John Wanamaker for the use of one 

 of his floors for the Fourth National 

 Flower Show, to be held in Philadelphia 

 two years hence. 



Various Notes. 



The rose show of the Germantown 

 Horticultural Society was held June 2, 

 one week earlier than usual, in order to 

 get the crop at its best. The competi- 

 tion among the amateurs and gardeners 

 was for the Jane R. Haines prize for 

 outdoor roses, offered for the first time. 

 The exhibits were varied and interest- 

 ing. 



John W. White, of Morton, Pa., has 

 just completed a new greenhouse for 

 carnations, using King material. 



Louis Berger underwent an operation 

 for appendicitis at St. Joseph's hospital 

 May 27. He is doing well. 



The outdoor rose and peony show of 

 the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society 

 was held in Horticultural hall June 3. 



The annual outing of the Florists' 

 Club is planned for June 19 at Wash- 

 ington park. There will be sports and 

 a baseball game, Seeds vs. Flowers. 



Walter M. Yates dropped in on 

 Berger Bros, one day this week after 

 his strenuous work in May. Mr. Yates 

 says the plant business has been excel- 

 lent. He is much interested in the 

 effect of the new tariff on nursery stock. 



John Westcott says that business at 

 Laurel Hill was heavy last week. 

 Blooming plants and outdoor flowers 

 were much used. 



Deutzia scabra, Russian iris, mock 

 orange and sweet william were largely 

 used for Memorial day. 



Eugene Weiss, of H. M. Weiss & Sons, 

 Hatboro, Pa., says that their two houses 

 of Carnation Gorgeous planted April 

 15 are growing finely. They have near- 

 ly 10,000 plants of this novelty.
