Bertermann Bros. Co., Indianapolis, showed fine snapdragons. W. J. & M. S. Vesey, Fort Wayne, Ind., staged an excellent table of orchids. Zech & Mann, Chicago, put up a dis- play of exceptionally long-stemmed I'urity freesia. Table decorations were staged by the Ilill Floral Co., Bertermann Bros. Co., A. Wiegand's Sons Co., Claypool Hotel Florist, Hensley's Flower Shop and Pahud Floral Co. The Business Session. The cultural ability of those who at- tend the annual meeting of the Ameri- can Carnation Society is shown by the fact that the reading of essays has been discontinued; the members no longer care to spend the time in listening to set papers on topics which, with them at least, are threadbare. The nearest ap- proach to a program this year was in the secretary's announcenient that a discussion of the "yellows" would take place. The morning of the first dav of the meeting was devoted to staging the ex- hibits, a work which, if not participated in, is watched by most of those present. The hall was closed in the earlv after- noon to all except the judges "and the secretary, but was opened to members from the completion of the judging until 8 p. m., when the doorg were opened to the public. At the same time the an- nual business session started in an ad- joining room. The address of President Ammaim and the report of Secretary Baur appear in full in this issue, together with a summary of Treasurer Dorner's finan- cial statemen
