BANQUET AT THE TWENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHICAGO FLORISTS CLUB, OCTOBER 5, 1911. not be disposed of to advantage Ijefore there is a real demand. For early blooms the most import- ant feature is early planting, and just when this should be done depends upon the date they are to be cut. Smith's Advance and Golden Glow planted the first of May, and buds se- lected about June 25, should mature the last half of August. Successive plantings up to early June and secur- ing first bud will give a continued crop to late October. Unaka planted May 1, with buds secured August ."> to 10, should all be ready to cut the first half of October, as it is a strong grower with stems four feet, incurved blooms over six inches in diameter and very similar to Wm.
