THE PALM SWINDLE. 



We continue to hear reports of the 

 operations of swindlers who give or- 

 ders for palms to be delivered to cer- 

 tain well-known citizens and then suc- 

 ceed in getting the palms into their 

 own possession upon one pretext or 

 another. Last week the racket was 

 worked in Syracuse, N. Y. Palms 

 were ordered for a decoration at the 

 residence of a leading physician. The 

 man who ordered the plants met the 

 delivery wagon near the house and 

 requested that they be delivered in the 

 back yard. , He had previously se- 

 cured permission from servants on the 

 premises to leave some palms in the 

 back yard for a short time, so no sus- 

 picion was excited. After the delivery 

 wagon left the swindlers carried off 

 the plants under their arms a few at 

 a time and offered them for sale at 

 ridiculously low prices. Only when 

 the lady of the house was telephoned, 

 asking when she wished the palms re- 

 moved, did the swindle become known. 



We hear of quite a number of cases 

 of this sort from widely separated 

 cities, and it would seem that the 

 scheme is epidemic among the crook- 

 ed gentry. Florists should be thor- 

 oughly on their guard. 



A nNANCIAL STATEMENT. 



We have received a printed copy of 

 the yearly financial statement of the 

 Toronto Gardeners' and Florists' As- 

 sociation, in which appears a detailed 

 statement of all the receipts and ex- 

 penditures on account of the annual 

 exhibition, as well as other matters. 

 It may cost a little to have such a 

 statement printed, but it is certainly 

 an excellent plan, as it is a satisfac- 

 tion to every one interested to know 

 just what the money was expended 

 for. We commend this statement to 

 the officers of other clubs. Mr. E. H. 

 Carter is secretary of the Toronto Club 

 and we have no doubt he would wil- 

 lingly mail a copy to brother secre- 

 taries.
