 hour was enjoyed. 



NEW CASTLE FLORIST CLUB. 



The organization known as the New- 

 Castle Florists' Club held its first 

 meeting Dec. 5, 1905, to organize and 

 make by-laws, which were adopted at 

 a special meeting called one week 

 later, when it elected officers as fol- 

 lows: President, Ernest Bender; vice- 

 president, George Staff; secretary and 

 treasurer, Frank Bentheys; directors, 

 G. Wiedenhoef, O. Staub, Charles Rath- 

 jen and Jack Lenon.

NEWPORT HORTICULTURAL SO- 

 CIETY. 



The society's first regular meeting 

 of the new year was held on Wednes- 

 day evening, January 3, President 

 Alexander MacLellan in the chair. 

 The committee's report of the ball re- 

 cently held showed a balance to the 

 credit of the society of upwards of one 

 hundred dollars. While the committee 

 as a whole deserve credit for the result 

 noted, the society recognized Mr. W. 

 F. Smith in particular as the- member 

 on whom a great part of the work fell 

 and who did it with his usual good 

 will and energy. Mr. Smith and the 

 committee received the thanks of the 

 society. 



On January 23rd the society will 

 have a supper to celebrate its 15th an- 

 niversary. If precedents count for any- 

 thing, this occasion will be one to be 

 long remembered. 



NEW DIRECTORS OF THE SOCIETY OF AMERICAN FLORISTS AND ORNAMENTAL HORTICULTURISTS. 



President W. F. Kasting has ap- 

 pointed as directors for the term of 

 three years, Messrs. F. H. Traendly 



F. H. TRAENDLY. 

 New York. N. Y. 



and P. J. Hauswirth. For the unex- 

 pired term (one year) of H. M. Altick. 

 who was elected vice-president at the 

 last convention, he has named H. H. 

 Ritter. The two first-named gentle- 

 men need no introduction to our read- 

 ers. As representing the younger and 

 hustling components of the national 

 society they may be expected to do 

 much to rally around the young presi- 

 dent that, enthusiastic support and 

 esprit de corps which, added to the 

 unswerving loyalty of the older and 

 more conservative element, will make 

 the Dayton convention a noteworthy 

 event and mark the administration of 

 1906 as a brilliant and popular success. 

 Both of these gentlemen have given 

 repeated evidence of their capacity for 

 organization and leadership in their 

 respective communities. Mr. Traendly 

 has just completed a two years' term 

 as president of the New York Florists' 

 Club, and Mr. Hauswirth is entering on 

 a similar service in the Chicago Flor- 

 ists' Club. Both have been promi- 

 nently identified with the bowling di- 

 versions at the S. A. F. conventions, 

 Mr. Hauswirth having served as chair- 

 man of the committee on sjSorts. 



Mr. H. H. Ritter is one of the old 

 staunch members of the S. A. F., 

 whose name has been uninterruptedly 

 on the roll from the first convention 

 at Cincinnati. His selection is an ap- 

 propriate recognition of sturdy fidelity 



and of the section which contributed 

 so much to the good start made at 

 that first meeting.
