At tile December meeting of tlie Al- bany Florists' Club the following of- ficers for 1915 were elected: Frank R. Bilson, president; Thomas F. Tra- cey, vice president; Robert Davidson, secretary-treasurer; trustees for two years, Fred Henkes, John J. Hag- gerty, and Charles Sanders. Louis H. Schaefer, chairman of the entertain- ment committee, reported on plans for the banquet to be held January 7, 1915, following the installation of of- ficers. The arrangements for the banquet were on motion of Thomas F. Tracey, placed in the hands of the entertainment committee. A paper on commercial violet growing was read by James H. Snyder of Rhinebeck, N. Y. He told of the troubles that confront the growers and explained some of the reasons why poor stock sometimes reaches the market. Proper shading through the summer and fall, rich soil, and systematic methods of picking and preparing for market are three vital points in commercial violet growing. The meeting was one of the largest held in some time, 38 being present, and several questions that arose relative to the regulations of the club provoked lively discussion in Which many took part. It is this per- sonal interest that makes any club a live organization. NOTES. Five cases of fine azaleas were re- ceived by William C. Gloeckner, No- vemBer 22.

As we were ready to pack your plants, the German army en- tered the city and all transport was imposs
