The meeting was then adjourned until later in the season, the time and place to be determined by the executive com- mittee. John C. Wister, Sec'y. ASPAEAGUS FAIXJATUS. A plant of the asparagus family which is particularly well adapted to decorative work and which is characterized by F. W. Fletcher, Orlando, Fla., as a "useful addition to the asparagus family," is Asparagus falcatus. This plant is one of the climbing varieties and is a quick, strong grower. One 3-year-oId specimen has been known to cover more than 100 square feet of surface. The dark green, lustrous foliage stands up well in floral work and it is as good a shipper as A. plumosus. It came to Florida from Natal. The plant is probably of a too rampant growth for general culture un- der glass, but it is well adapted to out- door growth. Grown in Florida and shipped north, the plant should prove valuable in high-class floral arrangements and the vines, from twelve to twenty- five feet in length, would be especially new and striking in large decorative work. The plant is not extensively cultivated in the south, and most of the stock ap- pears to be concentrated in the hands of a few growers.
