The third annual meeting at Chicago, August 16. 17 and The Weekly —Voles for the weekly are still coming iu; we have also received a number of votes against the change. Though we believe that the Florist will undoubtedly become a weekly iu time, we are inclined to think that the lime is not quite yet at hand. We, however, hold ourselves in readiness to immediately make the change when- ever conditions shall seem to warrant it. Recent events but confirm the im- pression noted in our last , that the catalogue mail trade in the seed business has been pushed to the high est point where extensive advertising and expensive catalogues can show any fair returns for the investment. The purchasing public are already looking toward something more substantial tlian showy advertising. Seedmen and florists may be called upou in the near future to climb more slowly the ladder that leads to a permanent success. New York, April 26.—A large num- ber of people attended the opening of the New York Ilort. society's show this morning at the Kden Musee. The fol- lowing are among the chief exhibits: William S. Kimball, a choice selec- tion of orchids. Charles A. Dana, a very fine show of calceolarias, gloxinias and Himalayan primroses. Pierre Loril- lard, a very good collection of fruits and vegetables.
