. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 250 The American Florist. Sept. IS, Cleveland. QUIET IN GENERAL. TRADE PLENTIFUL.—CLUB MATTERS LIGHT AND STOCK OFFICERS. Little of interest has been taking place for the last two or three weeks. Flowers have been in sufficient supply at all times, with the possible exception of carnations, which, during the recent hot weather, have been suffering greatly. Asters have been of fair quality and among the greenhouse-grown stock some really excellent flowers have been seen, with stems two to three feet in length.

The annual election of officers of the Cleveland Florists' Club takes place at the next regular meeting, which occurs Monday, September 24. Following is the list of nominees: President, Wm. Brinker; first vice-president, Gordon Gray; second vice-president, Isaac Ken- nedy; secretary, ; treasurer, H. A. Hart. It is to be hoped that a larger attendance will be in evidence than has been the case of late. Some carnation planting is still going on.

Lozier installed the display. Morris, III.—K. Mitting, who has just returned from Europe, where he has been spending the summer with his fam- ily, has bought up three-fourths of the capital stock of the Morris Floral Com- pany and assumed charge of the business. Springfield, Mass. — The Amateur Horticultural Society will omit its usual fall show this year because of the poor condition of dahlias and the lack of financial success
