JULY 28. 189S. 



BOWLING AT OMAHA. 



We have lately heard much talk and 

 seen considerable in the various trade 

 journals about bowling scores and 

 bowling at Omaha. We poor Buffalo 

 people hardly expect to have a team 

 there. We are trying very hard to or- 

 ganize one and think now we will suc- 

 ceed though it will not be like the one 

 of years ago. The requirement of six' 

 men may let us out and the bowling 

 be done by other clubs. 



If St. Louis will only bowl as well 

 at Omaha as she has been doing on 

 her own alleys, according to the print- 

 ed scores, we will be thankful and will 

 be glad to see her win. over Philadel- 

 phia. The Quaker City will, I think, 

 have a pretty strong team there, so 

 will Chicago, but a few of those two 

 hundreds from St. Louis will alone 

 win the cup. We don't care who wins 

 so long as Philadelphia don't get the 

 cup again this year. If the convention 

 comes east again next year then we 

 may stand some chance of winning 

 it back again, and what a pleasure to 

 take it from St. Louis! The Buffalo 

 team will be made up of the following 

 players: W. Scott, W. F. Kasting, 

 D. B. Long, H. B. Buddenborg, Walter 

 Mott and Philip Scott. 



If we are not a success as a team we 

 still have a champion, anyway, "W. 

 S.," who says he will roll any man of 

 his age (50 years) at the convention. 

 He prefers to meet some one from St. 

 Louis. BUFFALO. 



DETROIT NEXT YEAR. 



The florists of Detroit. Mich., have 

 organized a Florists' Club and this or- 

 ganization will at Omaha extend a 

 warm and pressing invitation to the 

 S. A. F. to meet in their city next 

 year. Detroit is an ideal convention 

 city and with the genial and energetic 

 Harry Balsley. president of the Detroit 

 Park Commission, to push matters 

 along and the hearty cooperation ot 

 the florists of the city there can be no 

 doubt of a successful convention if De- 

 troit is selected. 



NEW CANNA AUSTIN. 



We have received a sample flower of 

 the new canna Austin, a seedling 

 raised by R. H. Davey, of Omaha. It 

 is a striking red in color and the flow- 

 er is of good size.
