. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. A. F. J. Baur, Indianapolis, Ind. Secretary-Elect American Carnation Society. year, and a successful convention on this our third visit to Indianapolis. The past .vear has been a trying one to the florists. The depression in business has laid a heavy hand on many, but the future looks bright. Let us be alert and ready to take advantage of the improvement in J, S. Stuart, Anderson, Ind. President State Florists' Association of Indiana. Many new varieties of carnations have been introduced the past season ; time will tell how many will prove worthy of perpetuation. Anyone sending out a new variety should exercise due care to have the stock healthy, cuttings good and well rooted. The carnation is still the popular flower and, as our society stands for the advancement of the carnation, continue it so. The raisers of new varieties have made marked improvement, but have not reached perfection yet. I think it is gen- erally understood that this society does not necessarily endorse a variety as a profitable kind to grow commercially, be- cause it has been successful in obtaining a prize. At the National Flower Show at Chi- cago last November under the auspices of the Society of American Florists the interest in carnations was indeed man- ifested by the enthusiasm of the many visitors. This was probably the largest exhibition of carnations at a fall show ever held in the country, and was a credit to the exhibitors. As our conventions are held in different parts of the coun- try, some members lose interest when the conventions are held at a distance and drop out. As our society creates an interest in the carnation and the pro- ceedings at our meetings are quoted over the entire country, every florist receives the benefit to a certain extent, and ought in justice to the society to become a mem- ber, even if unable to attend.
