NEW BEDFORD, MASS. 



Business and tlie weather have been 

 bad the past week. Four days of our 

 old-fashioned keen northeast storms is 

 enough to discourage almost anybody. 



George Borden is on the sick list. 



W. H. Davenport is suffering with a 

 very sore hand, having run a rusty wire 

 nail into it. 



The New Bedford Horticultural Club 

 had a meeting Tuesday evening, March 

 10. "How to Grow Asters" was the 

 principal topic for the evening. It 

 was voted to have regular meetings 

 every second Tuesday in each month. 

 Thomas VVTiite, A. J. Fish, E. M. Mun- 

 son, C. L. Paine and E. I. Lawrence 

 were appointed an entertainment com- 

 mittee. Clias. A. Tuell, Mortimer 

 Searles and S. S. Peckhara were ap- 

 pointed a finance committee, with Chas. 

 A. Tuell as chairman. The executive 

 committee has organized with Dennis 

 Shea as chairman and Jas. Gattley as 

 secretary. C. B. Knickman, of Ruther- 

 ford, N. J., was present at the meeting. 



The New Bedford Florists' Club had a 

 meeting Thursday evening, IMarch 12, 

 and accepted the constitution and set 

 of by-laws that the committee had writ- 

 ten up. The following officers were 

 elected: R. E. Nofftz, president; Jas. 

 H. Cleary, vice president; Wm. P. 

 Peirce, secretary; H. V. Sowie, treas- 

 urer; E. H. Chamberlin, A. B. Hath- 

 away^ and E. Y. Peirce, executive com- 

 mittee. Mr. F. T. Munson, of New 

 Haven, Conn., and Mr. Zickman, of New 

 York, were elected honorary members of 

 the club. Mr. Munson was"the first man 

 in the organization to pay his dues and 

 felt quite proud of it, too. We had a 

 good attendance and everything started 

 in good shape. All of the florists have 

 joined but four, and probably they will 

 come in a little later, after they see 

 what an advantage it will be to them. 

 There is nothing like getting together 

 once in a while and having a good, 

 social time, forgetting our business 

 troubles. It makes a better feeling 

 among the florists, bringing them into 

 closer relationship, both in a social and 

 a business way. Mr. Nofftz thanked 

 the members for the confidence they had 

 shown in him by electing him president. 

 Mr. Munson and Mr. Ziekman also made 

 very encouraging remarks. 



All the drummers from anywhere and 

 everywhere have called on us this week. 

 We had a new man from M. Rice & 

 Co., Philadelphia. Did not get his name, 

 but found him to be a gentleman and 

 gave him an order. Also have had Mr. 

 Knickman, of Bobbink & Atkins; Mr. 

 Greenlaw, of N. F. McCarthy & Co.; 

 Mr. Munson, of the Munson Box Co., 

 and Jlr. Ziekman, of Sigmund Geller.
