Florists' Club Banquet. 



The banquet given by the Florist Club 

 Monday evening was a decided success 

 in every particular. About forty nieiU' 

 bers were present. The rooms being too 

 small to seat all at one time, we were 

 compelled to have a second table. Ex- 

 President Graham presided over the first 

 table and in a humorous strain intro- 

 duced himself and invited as many as 

 could to be seated. After the inner man 

 had been satisfied, the presiding officer 

 called on the various members present 

 for speeches. Those who favored us with 

 remarks were: Walker and McLean, of 

 Youngstown; J. Merkel, of Mentor: A. 

 Schmitt, of Glenville; Brown, Brinker 

 and Kennedy, of Cleveland. In the 

 course of the remarks by I. Kennedy, 

 secretary of the club, he had occasion 

 to call the attention of the members to 

 the remarkable growth of the club, the 

 membership having almost doubled in 

 the past year and a half, the attendance 

 at the meetings liaving increased in the 

 same proportion. The utmost harmony 

 prevailing among the members was evi- 

 denced by the many hearty handshakes 

 and expressions of good will as ex- 

 changed between one and all present, and 

 the expressed desire by all present that 

 we miglit have an annual banquet. 



The second table was presided over 

 by Mr. Steyn, who, in a few well chosen 

 words in his native tongue, spoke to the 

 German members present. Mr. C. Bar- 

 tels also made a few remarks. Mr. J. 

 Walker being called upon for a song, 

 gave a rendition of "A Hot Time in the 

 Old Town." all present joining in the 

 chorus. He also gave "Lather and 

 Shave," which brought down the house. 

 The evening's entert.iinment closed with 

 a rendition of the "Duke of York." by 

 our own inimitable vocalist. Isaac Ken- 

 nedy. The consensus nf oj)inion of the 

 majority of the members present (not 

 expressed in words) was a strong belief 

 in inner irrigation. The balance of the 

 evening was spent in l>owling and play- 

 ing pedro. 



Contemplated Building. 



There is a great deal of building con- 

 templated here in the spring by the mem- 

 bers of the craft, quite a number tak- 

 ing advantage of the drop in glass to 

 place their orders for April and June 

 delivery. Those intending to build are 

 A. Sclimitt, Glenville; H. Hart. HofT- 

 man, R. Addicott and the J. M. Gasser 

 Co. 



Notes. 



A visit to tlie estalilishment of Bate 

 Bros, revealed everything in first-class 

 order. They had a large cut of roses 

 and carnations for the holidays and are 

 of course in a jovial mood. 



E. Addicott grows mostly roses and 

 carnations, although he devotes some 

 space to spring stock. His stuff looks 

 very well considering he has been build- 

 ing and is putting in a new boiler. 



Mr. L. Utzinger had quite a serious

MILWAUKEE. 



The usual alter eireits of the holidays- 

 are with us and but little business is be- 

 ing done outside of funeral work. The 

 death of one of our prominent judges- 

 almost cleaned up a day's receipts in 

 white stock. There is nothing doing so- 

 cially and dealers are buying light, and 

 with increased receipts prices are forced 

 downward. Some Xmas plants are still 

 coming in, especially azaleas, but buyers 

 are not numerous unless tempted by ex- 

 ceedingly low prices. I.VCOG.

Christmas trade here was about the 

 same as last year. More carnations eould 

 have been sold, especially red. Beau- 

 ties sold at from .$4 to $12 a dozen; 

 Brides and JIaids at $1 to $2.50. Pot 

 plants sold well. Cressbrook carnations 

 and Lorraine begonias were novelties. 

 Cressbrook sold at $1.50 to $3. A new 

 llorists' store has been opened on Main 

 street by Lewis Bros.
