KLORISTS STILL ASKED TO DO WORK GRATIS FOR CHARITY.—PLANS FOR THB NEXT CONVENTION.—VARIOUS NOTES. Although the florists have all signed an agreement to do no work for nothing for various charitable and other purposes, they are still called on for such contribu- tions and recently were approached for a charity which appealed to them so strongly that they agreed to do the work for cost, but the ofler was declined.

Cool weather has caused a reduction in the supplies of roses, and Brides and Bridesmaids are not only poor but scarce. Chrysanthemums are plentiful and of good quality; the sale of them is fair.

The next meeting will be held at the residence of the president, upon his invitation. J. E. Dalgleish, of Small & Sons, Wash- ington, D. C, was a recent visitor. Wm. Scott has been to Elmira to judge their chrysanthemum show. E. J. Nolan, formerly at Scott's, is now with C. D. Zimmerman. W. A. Fremont, Neb.—C. H.
