GREEK AMERICAN FLORISTS' 

 ASSOCIATION, 



Tile second annual ball of this 

 thriving New York organization took 

 place at the Palm Garden, New York 

 city, on the night of March 2, with 

 all the luxuriance of decoration and 

 liberality of hospitality which char- 

 acterizes the Greek American who. 

 when he undertakes to do anything, 

 always goes the limit. The atten- 

 dance was tremendous and included 

 many members of the wholesale 

 trade, as well as the entire retail in- 

 terests of tlie city. 



The New York Florists' Club bowl- 

 ing contin.gent has gathered strength 

 in numbers and has good practice 

 meetings regularly now. It begins to 

 look as though they would have some- 

 thing to say at Cincinnati next Au- 

 gust, and any oil her aggregation which 

 aspires to get a look-in would do well 

 lo get busy at once. Last Monday 

 afternoon the high scores in four 

 games were as follows; 



Mathews 1.51|Burns 160 



Fcnricb 171' Shaw 165 



Scbreiner 179] Donaldson 168 



Majida 182|TaHman 150 



Lcrentz ISOlWhitbeck 204 



The St. Paul bowlers asked their 

 Twin City brethren to meet them ou 

 March 3th in the Saintly City for ati- 

 other touinanient. While the scores 

 were pretty good all around they have 

 to get higher a few notches on the Mill 

 City team to beat these old hand 

 bowlers like Olson, Hansen and Dill. 

 •Nevertheless, Minneapolis took their 

 licking without saying much, (they 

 might have thooghl a great deAl). The 

 la&t tournament of the season will 

 take place at Minneapolis, March ISth, 



The scores of the teams was as fol- 

 lows;

RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE LEC- 

 TURES. 



Lectures were given at the Coles 

 Laboratory, Newport, R. I., on the eve- 

 nings of March 3, 4, 5, under the 

 auspices of the R, I. College of Agri- 

 culture and Mechanics Arts. Presi- 

 dent Edwards of the college opened 

 the first meeting with an explanation 

 of the aim of the lectures, saying the 

 object was to help the owners of 

 homes to get more pleasure and profit 

 from their grounds. The balance of 

 this evening was then used by Profes- 

 sor G. E. Adams with a very interest- 

 ing lecture on soils. Mr. Henry M. 

 Howard of West Newton, Mass., lec- 

 tured the two following evenings on 

 vegetable gardening, covering the sub- 

 ject thoroughly, to a very apprecia- 

 tive audience, the Newport Horticul- 

 tural Society being well represented.
