Feh. 14, of new carnations responded very kindly to our secretary's invitation and sent some record-breaking blooms, which generally arrived in good condition, were well taken care of and staged as well as the originators could have asked. Peter Fisher, Ellis, Mass., sent four varieties, Enchantress being in the best shape yet seen in this localitj^. Nelson Fisher is a grand flower with an extra stem, on the Lawson order, said to be better and looks it, especially in finish of bloom. Mrs. M. A. Patten is an enormous variegated, of fine stem, calyx and color, the general effect being most pleasing. Last, but not least, was Bos- ton Market, a fine white, with the ear- marks of a good paying sort. This variety was the subject of many flatter- ing comments. From S. J. Renter, of Westerly, came Lillian Pond, his grand white, with stems like whips, blooms of extra size, centers well filled, a good traveler and splendid keeper, altogether a grand combination in one sort. C. Warburton sent fine vases of Cressbrook, Fair Maid and Challenger, all living up to their reputations as being desirable sorts to grow. From S. J. Goddard and the Little South Floral Company came The Queen, as worthy a flower as ever held the title. This was a pleasant surprise to many present, being a fine white of good form, fine stem and a most attractive sort. Mt. Goddard also sent some good seed- lirigs of 1901. Marion, another good white from Benj. Passmore, showed up in :good shape, accompanied by Dora and some seedlings. These traveled well and made friends for themselves. J. G. Sholl some good orders are to be placed as a result of the show. After the meeting the company was entertained with a lunch and graphaphone selections. An essay on the culture of Begonia Gloire de Lorraine and its sports will be read by by Mr. Trandt, of Canajoharie, at our next meeting. Frank J. Baker. Chicago Flori
