New Rose " Pink Pearl." 



what is coming in, and it seems all 

 sufficient for wliat is to be done; you 

 can in most cases make your own 

 price. Orchids have shortened up, so 

 has good valley, and the best roses we 

 see or hear of are Thomas Young's 

 Kaiserins. 



The Florists' Club will hold a spe- 

 cial meeting next Monday night, July 

 2.^d, and the bowlers will in conse- 

 quence meet that afternoon. 



Bowling. 



The friendly games rolled between 

 New York and Flatbush on the lat- 

 ter's alleys Thursday evening last re- 

 sulted in a victory tor Flatbush. The 

 weather is against bowling, we know 

 that; the alleys used by both these 

 teams are like bake shops and it is 

 very hard to pile up high scores with 

 sweat filling up the ball holes. As far 

 as we can judge by the reported scores 

 the tournament can be won by any of 

 the teams, the betting slightly in fa- 

 vor of the Philadelphians (by the way, 

 this team plays in the international 

 tournament in Hoboken today. Tues- 

 day). 



There is one consolation, the alleys 

 to be rolled on next month will be 

 strictly neutral, and all will have the 

 same chance. The question is serious- 

 ly being considered as to the advisabil- 

 ity of prohibiting rooting or coaching 



at the alleys on account of shattering 

 the nerves of the tenderfeet: but what 

 would a florist bowling match be with- 

 out its fun, and what is the crowd 

 there for, anyhow? We are sorry to 

 notice that St. Louis is in doubt of 

 being able to enter, but there's time to 

 get the boys in shape, and the more 

 teams the merrier. Following are the 

 scores rolled at Flatbush:

NEW ROSE "PINK PEARL." 



We present herewith an engraving 

 from a photograph of the original 

 plant of this new garden rose, one of 

 Mr. W. A. Manda's Wichuraiana hy- 

 brids, recently certificated by the New 

 York Florists" Club, and mentioned 

 among others on page 131 of our issue 

 of June 28. 



All who have seen this rose pro- 

 nounce it to be a decided acquisition. 

 And while its principal value will be 

 as a garden rose it is possible it may 

 be useful to the grower of cut blooms. 



ST. LOUIS. 



Club Meeting. 



The July meeting of the St. Louis 

 Florists' Club was fairly well attend- 

 ed, there being 19 members present. 

 The exhibition committee reported 

 that everything was in good shape for 

 the show. The picnic committee re- 

 poi-ted, and the place for holding the 

 outing was changed by the club to 

 Montesano Springs, going by boat. The 

 round trip will be 25 cents. The boat 

 leaves at 9 a, m., foot of Olive street. 

 The date will be the same as mention- 

 ed in the last issue of the Review. 



John W. Kunz, on transportation, 

 reported that $28.10 for the trip to 

 New York, with a stop-over for 10 

 days, was the best that could be made 

 over the B. & O. 



After the regular routine of business 

 the nomination of officers for the en- 

 suing year took place and the names 

 of the following members were pro- 

 posed for the various offices: Presi- 

 dent, Fred H. Meinhardt and E. W. 

 Guy; vice-president, Chas. J. Juengel: 

 secretary, Emil Schray; treasurer, J. 

 J. Beneke; three trustees. F. J. Fill- 

 more, John W, Kunz, R. J. Mohr and 

 Gus Groshardt. The election will take 

 place Thursday afternoon, August 9, at 

 3 p. m. 



The question box was opened and 

 one question, "What are the advanta- 

 ges of early planting of carnations?" 

 was discussed by Messrs. Dunford, 

 Guy, Ude and Fillmore. Mr. E. W. 

 Guy told the members what he saw at 

 Witterstaetter's and Sunderbruch's 

 places at Cincinnati and at Hill's and 

 Grave's at Richmond, saying that all 

 their carnations look fine and healthy 

 and were planted early. Witterstaet- 

 ter's Evelina, he said, "was extra fine, 

 the best he had seen." The other ques- 

 tion was "Who has Flora Hill and 

 Jubilee carnations to sell?" The an- 

 swer was: "Look over the Classified 

 Plant advertisements in the Review." 

 The meeting then adjourned. All 

 members are expected at the next reg- 

 ular meeting of the club, July 9, at 

 3 o'clock.
