The Florists' Club is one of the youngest or- ganizations in the city, being only a year and a half old, and has a membership of 75- Monthly meetings are held, at each of which exhibits for the benefit of the members are made and contests provid- ed ; it is the intention that the exhibitor showing the largest number of points of excellence at the end of the year, shall be rewarded with a handsome silver cup. For this purpose a standing board of six judges have been appointed, whose duty it is to pass upon the exhibits of each month. The board of judges is com- prised of the following: Wm. MacDon- ald, Moosic, W. C. Clark, B. E. Cokely, G. R. Clark, Jonathan Rodham and Ed- gar McConnell. Of this number three were appointed to pass upon the merits of the exhibits presented. Local exhibitors were: Marvin & Muir, G. R. Clark & Co., A. Schultheis & Co., T. B. McClintock, Thomas Arner, Ralph Harwood, John Hill, gardener to T. H. Watkins; J.
