John N. May, o? the ways and 

 means committee, announced that the 

 credit of the cliil) was good and that 

 the boys could afford to treat their 

 friends in a generous manner. 



Club Notes. 



Daly Bros.. Granton, N. J., exhibited 

 a new pink geranium named "Paun- 

 peck," a sport from Contrast; it was 

 awarded honorable mention. 



A communication was read from 

 Wm. Scott, of Buffalo, relative to the 

 Floricultural Department of the Pan- 

 American Exposition. 



Samuel Henshaw, fresh from Eng- 

 land, in an.=wer to the request of 

 President O'Mara, gave the club an 

 interesting account of what he saw in 

 Europe. Among other things he said 

 he was the bearer of kind greetings 

 from Dean Hole to the club; that gen- 

 tleman's memory of the hospitality 

 shown him here is as fresh and as 

 sweet as the roses he loves. Mr. Hen- 

 shaw spoke glowingly of the rose and 

 sweet pea shows he saw iu London, 

 and said that, strange to say. the man 

 who won the highest honors at the 

 rose show was Hugh Dickson, of New- 

 townards, Ireland. 



F. L. Atkins, who has also just re- 



turned from a visit abroad, preferred 

 to wait till another evening, when he 

 would be glad to give a talk on what 

 he saw there, whereupon the chair- 

 man immediately notified the essay 

 committee of the offer. 



Mr. May spoke feelingly of the loss 

 Mr. Lonsdale recently suffered in the 

 death of his two daughters, and the 

 club requested him to send a letter to 

 Mr. and Mrs. Lonsdale expressing the 

 sympathy of the club. 



John Westcott, of Philadelphia, was 

 present at the meeting and said that 

 after witnessing the New York boys 

 bowl, he was afraid of Philadelphia's 

 chances. 



Geo. T. Philcox. of St Louis, said 

 he was glad to be back to New York 

 and his olu friends. 



Harry May, son of John N. May, 

 here on a visit home from Richmond, 

 Ind., in reply to a request from the 

 chairman, gave his impressions of the 

 west. He paid the highest tribute to 

 the hospitality of the western people 

 and from his own experiences and ob- 

 servations felt that the greatest piece 

 of advice ever given was by Horace 

 Greeley, when he said: "Go west, 

 young man, go west." The west of- 

 fered opportunities to every young 

 man and the prospects there were 

 very bright. Harry May is a fine type 

 of the future plantsman, and his words 

 were impressive. 



The house committee, after the meet- 



ing adjourned, brought forth their 

 impromptu entertainment, which con- 

 sisted of music, songs, dances, and 

 short talks, which were creditably 

 rendered by Messrs. Schmutz, Birnie, 

 Le Moult, Plumb, Butterfield, "Wallace, 

 Hogan, Cleary, Stewart. Herrington 

 and Morrio. Tne meeting was a most 

 interesting one, and all enjoyed them- 

 selves. 



The reception committee will meet 

 at "WaUcr Sheridan's at 3 p. m. Mon- 

 day, and every day during the con- 

 vention at the hall.
